copper area connected to the thermal pad is preferable. It is

recommended to add at least four vias within the pad to the GND

plane for the best thermal relief.

Output Voltage Setting Resistor Selection

can be used to set the desired output voltage values using

Equation 1:

current flowing through the divider resistors is calculated as

current into the divider, and thus improve the total efficiency of

the device to prevent noise pickup.

Inductor Selection

An inductor with core material suitable for high-frequency

applications (e.g., ferrite) is desirable to minimize core loss and

improve efficiency. The inductor should have a low ESR to reduce

copper loss. Moreover, the inductor saturation current should be

higher than the maximum peak current of the device; i.e., 1.5A.

The device is designed to operate with an inductor value of 2.2µH

to provide stable operation across the range of load, input, and

output voltages. Stable mode switching between PWM and Skip

mode operation is guaranteed at this inductor value. Table 1

shows recommended inductors.

Capacitor Selection

INPUT CAPACITOR

A minimum of a 4.7µF ceramic capacitor is recommended to

provide stable operation under typical operating conditions. For

input voltage less than 1.0V application, an additional 4.7µF

ceramic capacitor is recommended for better noise filtering and

EMI suppression. The input capacitor should be placed close to

the input pin, GND pin, and the non-switching terminal of the

inductor.

OUTPUT CAPACITOR

For the output capacitor, a ceramic capacitor with small ESR is

recommended to minimize output voltage ripple. A typical 4.7µF

should be used to provide stable operation at different typical

operating conditions. The output capacitor should be placed

close to the output pin and GND pin of the device. Table 2 shows

the recommended capacitors.
