Description
The SI-8001FDE DC voltage regulator is a DC-to-DC buck
convertor that attains an oscillation frequency of 300 kHz,
and has an integrated miniaturized choke coil, allowing it to
serve as a small, high efficiency power supply in a compact
TO263 package.
The internal switching regulator function provides high
efficiency switching regulation without any need for adjustment.
The device requires only six external support components. The
optional soft start function requires an additional capacitor.
Optional on/off control can be performed using a transistor.
The SI-8001FDE includes overcurrent and overtemperature
protection circuits.
Applications include:
▪
DVD recorder
▪
FPD TV
▪
Telecommunications equipment
▪
Office automation equipment, such as printers
▪
On-board local power supply
▪
Output voltage regulator for second stage of SMPS
(switched mode power supply)

Ground terminal
Terminal for resistor bridge feedback
The SS terminal is used to enable soft start and to control on/off operation of the IC output,
V
O
(see figure 2). If neither soft start nor on/off control is used, leave pin open.
To enable soft start, connect a capacitor between SS and ground. To control on/off
operation, connect an NPN bipolar transistor, in a TTL open collector output configuration,
between the SS terminal and GND. Turn off is done by decreasing V
SSL
below its rated
level.
When both soft start and V
O
on/off are used, a protection measure such as current limiting
is required because, if the capacitance of C3 large, the discharge current of C3 flows
across the transistor for on/off operation. Because a pull-up type resistor is provided inside
the IC, no external voltage can be applied.

Thermal Performance Characteristics
The application must be designed to ensure that the T
J
(max)
of the device is not exceeded during operation. To do so, it is
necessary to determine values for maximum power dissipation,
P
D
(max), and ambient temperature, T
A
(max).
The relationships of T
J
, P
D
, T
A
, and case temperature, T

, are as

is forward voltage for the input diode, Di. In these tests, the
Sanken SPB-G56S was used, at 0.4 V. For application design,
obtain thermal data from the datasheet for the diode.
P
D
is substantially affected by the heat conductance properties of
the application, in particular any exposed copper area on the PCB
where the device is mounted. The relationships of P

, T

copper area is represented in the Power Dissipation chart.

θJA
for a given copper area can be determined form the Device
Thermal Resistance chart. This can be substituted into the formula
above to determine the T

Generally, more than 10% to 20% derating is required.
Because the heat dissipation capacity of the copper area depends
substantively on how it is used in the actual application, thermal
characteristics of the application must be confirmed by testing.
