VOUT is the output voltage [V]

  • Note 1-1 When selecting the output capacitor, ensure that the capacitance, COUT_WORST, of the above equation is maintained at the characteristics of DC Bias, AC Voltage, temperature, and tolerance.

  • Note 1-2 If the capacitance falls below this value, oscillation may happen. When using electrolytic capacitor and conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitor, please place it in addition to the ceramic capacitors with the capacity described above. The changes in the frequency characteristic are greatly affected by the type and the condition (temperature, etc.) of parts that are used, the wire routing and the layout of the PCB. Please confirm stability and responsiveness in actual application.

  • Note 2 VCC_EX is power supply input for internal circuit. VREG voltage is supplied from VCC_EX when voltage between 3.2V  (VTEXH, Max) and 5.65 V (VEXOVPL, Min) is connected to this pin. Connecting this pin to VOUT improves efficiency. In case of not use this function, connect this pin to GND.
    Output Voltage| REX setting| REXN setting| VCC_EX State
    ---|---|---|---
    3.2 V ≤ VOUT ≤ 5.65 V| 0 Ω| Open| Connected to VOUT
    VOUT < 3.2 V or VOUT > 5.65 V| Open| 0 Ω| Connected to GND

  • Note 3 RESET terminal should be pulled-up to VREG via RRST2 when the output setting is over 6.5 V because RESET pin’s
    absolute maximum rating is 7.0 V. If RESET is not pulled-up to VOUT, it can be pulled-up to VREG via RRST2 by default.

  • Note 4 Please use CFB1 and CFB2 PCB patterns to improve the frequency characteristics. Set these values by following
    the guide in page 31 of datasheet.

  • Note 5 If the recommended parts on tables 3 to 7 are not available anymore due to end of production, different parts will be  used on the test board because the end of production parts are deprecated.
