SC250

PRELIMINARY

POWER MANAGEMENT

Under-Voltage Lockout

Under-voltage lockout protection is used to prevent

erroneous operation. As the input decreases, the device

shuts down when the voltage drops below 2.35V and will

not restart until the input voltage exceeds approximately

2.5V.

Inductor Selection

The SC250 is designed for use with a 4.7μH inductor. The

magnitude of the inductor current ripple is dependent on

the inductor value and can be determined by the following

equation:

OSC

OUT

This equation demonstrates the relationship between

input voltage, output voltage, and inductor ripple current.

The inductor should have a low DC resistance to minimize

the conduction losses and maximize efﬁciency. As a

minimum requirement, the DC current rating of the

inductor should be equal to the maximum load current

plus half of the inductor current ripple as shown by the

following equation:

Final inductor selection depends on various design

considerations such as efﬁciency, EMI, size, and cost.

options.

IN Selection

The source input current to a buck converter is non-

continuous. To prevent large input voltage ripple, a low

Applications Information (Cont.)

ESR ceramic capacitor is required. A minimum value of

10μF should be used for sufﬁcient input voltage ﬁltering

and a 22μF should be used for improved input voltage

ﬁltering.

OUT Selection

The internal compensation is designed to work with a

certain output ﬁlter corner frequency deﬁned by the

equation:

OUT

This single pole ﬁlter is designed to operate with an output

capacitor value of 4.7μF.

Output voltage ripple is a combination of the voltage

ripple from the inductor current charging and discharging

the output capacitor, and the voltage created from the

inductor current ripple through the output capacitor ESR.

Selecting an output capacitor with a low ESR will reduce

the output voltage ripple component that is dependent

upon this ESR, as can be seen in the following equation:

ESR

Capacitors with X7R or X5R ceramic dielectric are

strongly recommended for their low ESR and superior

temperature and voltage characteristics. Y5V capacitors

should not be used as their temperature coefﬁcients

make them unsuitable for this application. Table 2 lists

the manufacturers of recommended capacitor options.
