XC9235/XC9236/XC9237
Series
600mA Driver Tr. Built-In, Synchronous Step-Down DC/DC Converters
ETR0514-007
The XC9235/XC9236/XC9237 series is a group of synchronous-rectification type DC/DC converters with a built-in 0.42Ω
P-channel driver transistor and 0.52ΩN-channel switching transistor, designed to allow the use of ceramic capacitors. The ICs
enable a high efficiency, stable power supply with an output current of 600mA to be configured using only a coil and two
capacitors connected externally. Operating voltage range is from 2.0V to 6.0V. Output voltage is internally set in a range from
0.8V to 4.0V in increments of 50mV (accuracy:
±2.0%).
With the built-in oscillator, ether 1.2MHz or 3.0MHz can be selected
for suiting to your particular application. As for operation mode, the XC9235 series is PWM control, the XC9236 series is
automatic PWM/PFM switching control and the XC9237 series can be manually switched between the PWM control mode and
the automatic PWM/PFM switching control mode, allowing fast response, low ripple and high efficiency over the full range of
loads (from light load to heavy load).
The soft start and current control functions are internally optimized. During stand-by, all circuits are shutdown to reduce
current consumption to as low as 1.0μA or less. With the built-in UVLO (Under Voltage Lock Out) function, the internal
P-channel driver transistor is forced OFF when input voltage becomes 1.4V or lower.
The XC9235B/XC9236B/XC9237B series provide short-time turn-on by the soft start function internally set in 0.25 ms (TYP).
The XC9235B(C)/XC9236B(C)/XC9237B(C) integrate C
L
auto discharge function which enables the electric charge at the output
capacitor C
L
to be discharged via the internal auto-discharge switch located between the L
X
and V
SS
pins. When the devices
enter stand-by mode, output voltage quickly returns to the V
SS
level as a result of this function.
Two types of package SOT-25 and USP-6C are available.

*6: The CE/MODE pin of the XC9237A series works also as an external switching pin of PWM control and PWM/PFM control. When the IC is in the
operation, control is switched to the automatic PWM/PFM switching mode when the CE/MODE pin voltage is equal to or greater than V

*9: When the difference between the input and the output is small, some cycles may be skipped completely before current maximizes.
If current is further pulled from this state, output voltage will decrease because of P-ch driver ON resistance.

with GND via 1Ωof resistor from an operational state and is set to Lx=0V from current limit pulse generating.
*8: When V
IN
is less than 2.4V, limit current may not be reached because voltage falls caused by ON resistance.
*9: When the difference between the input and the output is small, some cycles may be skipped completely before current maximizes.
If current is further pulled from this state, output voltage will decrease because of P-ch driver ON resistance.
