BLOCK DIAGRAM
IXD9213/14 Series

Internal diodes include an ESD protection and a parasitic diode

BASIC OPERATION
The IXD9213/14 series consists of a Reference Voltage source, Error Amplifier, PWM Comparator, Phase
Compensation circuit, minimum on-time generator, output voltage resistive divider, P-channel switching transistor,
N-channel transistor for the synchronous switch, Current Limiter circuit, UVLO circuit, and other features. (See the
block diagrams above.)
This device operates at a constant on-time mode, which features fast transient response and low output voltage
ripple.
The Error Amplifier compares output voltage divided by internal resistors R1/R2 with the internal reference voltage.
Amplified difference between these two signals applies to the one input of the PWM Comparator, while ramp
voltage from minimum on-time generator applies to the second input. The resulting PWM pulse determines
switching transistor ON time. It goes through the buffer and it appears at the gate of the internal P-channel
switching transistor. This continuous process stabilizes output voltage.

PS038001-0715 PRELIMINARY 4
 Product Specification
IXD9213/IXD9214

The Current Feedback circuit monitors the current of the P-channel transistor at each switching cycle, and
modulates the output signal from the Error Amplifier to provide additional feedback. This guarantees a stable
converter operation even with low ESR ceramic load capacitor.
Reference Voltage Source
The Reference Voltage Source provides the reference voltage to ensure stable output voltage of the DC/DC
converter. After the CE pin activates the IC, the reference voltage connected to the error amp increases linearly
during the soft-start interval. This allows the output voltage to rise in proportion to the reference voltage. This
operation prevents inrush current and allows the output voltage to rise smoothly.
If the output voltage does not reach nominal output voltage within the soft start time due to heavy load or a large
output capacitor, the current restriction function activates and prevents an excessive increase of the input current,
allowing the output voltage to rise smoothly.
Minimum On-time Generator
The Minimum On-time Generator produces the signal needed for PWM operation, and signals to synchronize all
the internal circuits. The on time is set as a function of the input and output voltages as tON = VOUT/VIN x 333 (ns).
Error Amplifier
The Error Amplifier monitors output voltage through a resistive divider connected to the VOUT pin. If output voltage
falls below the preset value and Error Amplifier’s input signal becomes less than internal reference voltage, the
Error Amplifier/s output signal increases. This results in wider PWM pulse for the switching transistor to increase
output voltage. The gain and frequency characteristics of the error amplifier output are fixed internally to optimize IC
performance.
Switching Frequency
The switching frequency is a function of the on time (tON), which is determined by the input voltage and output
voltage, as given by the equation below.
fOSC (MHz) = VOUT / (VIN×tON (ns))
100% Duty Cycle Mode
When the load current is heavy and the voltage difference between input and output voltage is small, 100% duty
cycle mode activates and it keeps the P-channel MOSFET in an on-state. 100% duty cycle mode attains high
output voltage stability and high-speed response under all load conditions, from light to heavy, even in conditions
where the dropout voltage is low.
Current Limiter
The Current Limiter circuit monitors current flowing through the P-channel transistor connected to the Lx pin. When
the transistor’s current is greater than a specified level, the Current Limiter turns off the P-channel transistor
immediately. After that, the Current Limiter turns off too, returning to monitoring mode.
The driver transistor turns on at the next cycle, but the Current Limiter turns it off immediately if an over- current
exists. When the over current state is eliminated, the IC resumes its normal operation.
PWM/PFM Selection Circuit
PWM is a continuous conduction mode operation, and utilizes a stable switching frequency determined by the on-
time generator.
PWM/PFM auto switching mode allows utilizing a discontinuous conduction mode at light loads, decreasing the
switching frequency to reduce switching losses and improve efficiency, while returning to PWM mode and stable
frequency at high load.
The IXD9213 series operates in PWM mode only, while the IXD9214 series operates in PWM/PFM auto switching
mode.
UVLO Circuit
When the VIN pin voltage becomes 2.0 V or lower, the P-channel transistor is forced OFF to prevent false pulse
output caused by unstable operation of the internal circuitry. When the V IN pin voltage becomes 2.10 V or higher,
switching operations resume with the soft start. The soft start function operates even when the VIN voltage falls
below the UVLO threshold for a very short time. The UVLO circuit does not cause a complete shutdown of the IC,
but causes pulse output to be suspended; therefore, the internal circuitry remains in operation.

 Product Specification
IXD9213/IXD9214

Thermal Shutdown
The thermal shutdown function monitors chip temperature to prevent IC damage. The thermal shutdown circuit
0
starts operating and turns off both P- and N-channel MOSFETs when the chip’s temperature reaches 150 C. When
0
the temperature drops to 120 C (typ.) or less, the IC resumes normal operation through soft-start.
Short-Circuit Protection
Short-circuit protection monitors the output voltage. If output is accidentally shorted to the ground, output voltage
starts falling. When this voltage becomes less than the threshold level, Short-Circuit Protection turns off and quickly
latches the P-channel transistor.
To restart IC operation after this condition, either the CE pin should be toggled H – L – H, or the VIN pin voltage
should be set below UVLO to resume operations from soft start.
The sharp load transients creating a voltage drop at the VOUT may result in Short Circuit protection operating at
voltages higher than the threshold level voltage.
CL High Speed Discharge
The IXD9213/02 B, C, and G series can quickly discharge the output capacitor (C L) to avoid application malfunction
when the CE pin set logic LOW to disable IC.
CL Discharge Time is proportional to the resistance (R) of the N-channel transistor located between the LX pin and
ground and the output CL capacitance as shown below.
tDSH = RCL x Ln (V OUT(E) / V), where
V - Output voltage after discharge
VOUT(E) - Output voltage
R = 300 Ω (Typical value）
Output Voltage Discharge Characteristics
CE Pin Function
The IXD9213/14 series enters the shut down mode, when a LOW logic-level signal applies to the CE pin. In the

shutdown mode, IC current consumption is ~0.01 μA (Typical value), with the Lx and VOUT pins at high impedance
state. The IC starts its operation when a HIGH logic-level signal applies to the CE. The IC does not have pull-
up/down resistors at CE input, therefore do not leave this input open to avoid unstable IC operation.

Capacitors should be X7R or X5R series to minimize power losses.

LAYOUT AND USE CONSIDERATIONS

1. Wire external components as close to the IC as possible and use thick, short
connecting traces to reduce the circuit impedance. Pay special attention to the
VIN and GND wiring. Switching noise, which occurs from the GND, may cause
the instability of the IC; therefore, position the VIN and VCL capacitors as close
to the IC as possible (See the recommended layout on the right).
2. Use ceramic capacitors of X7R or X5R type to minimize power losses.
3. Transitional voltage drops or voltage rising phenomenon could make the IC
unstable, if ratings are exceeded.
4. In PWM mode, switching frequency may vary, depending on input/output voltage, load, external
components value, and board layout. In addition, minimum on time generated may differ from
calculated value due to IC propagation delay and internal power losses.
5. If the difference between VIN and VOUT is small, the IC generates very wide pulses, and there is a
possibility that some cycles will be skipped completely at the heavy load current.
6. The inductor’s rated current exceeds the Current Limit threshold to avoid damage, which may occur
until the P-channel transistor turns off after Current Limiter activates, but pulse current may exceed this
value.
7. Use of the IC at voltages below recommended voltage range may lead to instability.
8. In PWM/PFM automatic switching mode, if the difference between input/output voltages is small and
load is very low, the inductor current may reverse, thereby decreasing IC efficiency.
9. If the output voltage remains below the short circuit protection threshold voltage at the end of the soft
start, IC will stop operation.
