Step-down DC/DC Converters(Non-isolated)
BP5220A / BP5221A / BP5222A
Description
The BP5220A, BP5221A, BP5222A, are DC / DC
converters that use a pulse width modulation (PWM)
system. They contain control circuits, switching devices,
rectifiers, and coils, and operate by only connecting an
I / O smoothing capacitor. With a high efficiency of power
conversion, the modules are available in stand-alone
9-pin SIP packages with no heat sink required.
They can be applied to various purposes by fine-tuning
the output voltage and switching on and off. With a wide
range of input voltage, the modules are best suited for
obtaining a stable local power supply from a main
power supply with a large voltage variation.
Applications
Power supplies for copiers, personal computers,
facsimiles, AV equipment, measuring instruments,
vending machines, security device, registers,
industrial equipment, and maintenance tools
Features
1) Wide input voltage range
2) High power conversion efficiency.
3) Built-in output ON / OFF switch.
4) Adjustable output voltage ensures wide compatibility
5) Few external components required.
6) Heat sink unnecessary.
7) Compact package.

Circuit operation
(1) The basic application examples are shown in Fig.2.
The only external parts required are the input and
output smoothing capacitors.
(2) Switching on and off the output voltage is allowed.
The output can be switched off by making pin 4
open (high impedance). (See Fig.3)

(3) Fine adjustment of the output voltage is allowed.
Adjustment of the output voltage can be
performed from pin 6 via the resistor by connecting
the output terminal (pin 2) or GND. (See

OUTPUT CURRENT (A)
Fig.4
Fig.5
A resistor is used to limit the rise of output at power on. The resistance depends on the input voltage.
This is a standard application. Because the control current fluctuates with variations in circuits and components,
set the control current by adding a sufficient margin to the normal current level.

To maximize performance we recommended the output voltage be
adjusted within ±20% of the output voltage rating. When the output voltage is increased by 20%, for
instance, the minimum input voltage is also increased by 20%.
(Example : When the output voltage is changed from 5V to 6V in the BP5220A, the minimum input voltage
is charged from 8V to 9.6V)
Application Example 4 : Slow start
The slow start circuit mitigates the pulse load on the internal switching transistor when input voltage is applied,
and increases the output voltage gradually by starting the switching operation slowly.
This application is useful for preventing malfunction of an external protection circuit due to rush current,
and can serve as a countermeasure against operation outside the safe operation range.
