TSZ02201-0F3F0AJ00260-1-2 © 2019 ROHM Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. 16.Sep.2021 Rev.002 www.rohm.com TSZ22111 • 15 • 001 BD9D300MUV Description of Blocks 1. REG This block generates the internal power supply. 2. EN This is the enable block. When EN voltage (VEN) is set to 0.9 V (Min) or more , the internal circuit is activated and the device starts operation. Shutdown is forced if VEN is set to 0.3 V (Max) or less. 3. UVLO This block is for under voltage lockout protection. The device shuts down when input voltage falls to 3.6 V (Typ) or less. The threshold voltage has a hysteresis of 200 mV (Typ). 4. VREF This block generates the internal reference voltage. 5. TSD This block is for thermal protection. The device is shut down when the junction temperature (Tj) reaches to 175 °C (Typ) or more. The device is automatically restored to normal operation with a hysteresis of 25 °C (Typ) when the Tj goes down. 6. Soft Start This block slows down the rise of output voltage during start-up and controls the current, which allows the prevention of output voltage overshoot and inrush current. The internal soft start time is 1 ms (Typ) when the SS pin is open. A capacitor connected to the SS pin makes the rising time 1 ms or more. 7. PGOOD This block is for power good function. When the FB voltage (VFB) is more than or equal to 95 % (Typ) of 0.8 V, the built- in open drain Nch MOSFET connected to the PGD pin is off, and the PGD pin becomes High impedance. When VFB is less than or equal to 90 % (Typ) of 0.8 V, it turns on the built-in open drain Nch MOSFET and the PGD pin is pulled down with 100 Ω (Typ). 8. Control Logic + DRV This block controls switching operation and various protection functions. 9. OVP This block is for output over voltage protection. When VFB is more than or equal to 120 % (Typ) of 0.8 V, the output MOSFETs are off. After VFB is less than or equal to 115 % (Typ) of 0.8 V, the output MOSFETs are returned to normal operation condition. In addition, when VOUTS voltage (VVOUTS) reaches 5.95 V (Typ) or more, the output MOSFETs are off. After VVOUTS falls 5.65 V (Typ) or less, the output MOSFETs are returned to normal operation condition. If the condition of the over voltage protection is continued for 20 µs (Typ), the output MOSFETs are latched to off. 10. HOCP This block is for over current protection of the High-Side FET. When the current that flows through the High-Side FET reaches the value of over current limit, it turns off the High-Side FET and turns on the Low-Side FET. 11. LOCP This block is for over current protection of the Low-Side FET. While the current that flows through the Low-Side FET over the value of over current limit, the condition that being turned on the Low-Side FET is continued. 12. SCP This block is for short circuit protection. After soft start is completed and in condition where VFB is less than or equal to 90 % (Typ) of 0.8 V, this block counts the number of times of which current flowing in the High-Side FET or the Low-Side FET reaches over current limit. When 256 times is counted, the device is shut down for 15 ms (Typ) and re-operates. Counting is reset when VFB is more than or equal to 95 % (Typ) of 0.8V, or IC re-operates by EN, UVLO and SCP function. 13. Error Amplifier The Error Amplifier adjusts Main Comparator input voltage to make the internal reference voltage equal to VFB. 14. Main Comparator The Main Comparator compares the Error Amplifier o utput voltage and V FB. When V FB becomes lower than the Error Amplifier output voltage, the output turns H igh and reports to the On Time block that the output voltage has dropped below the control voltage. 15. On Time This block generates On Time. The designed On Time is generated after th e Main Comparator output turns H igh. The On Time is adjusted to control the frequency to be fixed even with I/O voltage is changed. 16. ZXCMP The ZXCMP is a comparator that monitors the inductor current. When inductor current falls below 0 A (Typ) while the Low-Side FET is on, it turns the FET off.

Reverse Connection of Power Supply Connecting the power supply in reverse polarity can damage the IC. Take precautions against reverse polarity when connecting the power supply, such as mounting an external diode between the power supply and the IC’s power supply pins. 2. Power Supply Lines Design the PCB layout pattern to provide low impedance supply lines. Separate the ground and supply lines of the digital and analog blocks to prevent noise in the ground and supply lines of the digital block from affecting the analog block. Furthermore, connect a capacitor to ground at all power supply pins . Consider the effect of temperature and aging on the capacitance value when using electrolytic capacitors. 3. Ground Voltage Ensure that no pins are at a voltage below that of the ground pin at any time, even during transient condition. However, pins that drive inductive loads (e.g. motor driver outputs, DC -DC converter outputs) may inevitably go below gr ound due to back EMF or electromotive force. In such cases, the user should make sure that such voltages going below ground will not cause the IC and the system to malfunction by examining carefully all relevant factors and conditions such as motor characteristics, supply voltage, operating frequency and PCB wiring to name a few. 4. Ground Wiring Pattern When using both small-signal and large-current ground traces, the two ground traces should be routed separately but connected to a single ground at the reference point of the application board to avoid fluctuations in the small -signal ground caused by large currents. Also ensure that the ground traces of external components do not cause variations on the ground voltage. The ground lines must be as short and thick as possible to reduce line impedance. 5. Recommended Operating Conditions The function and operation of the IC are guaranteed within the range specifi ed by the recommended operating conditions. The characteristic values are guaranteed only under the conditions of each item specified by the electrical characteristics. 6. Inrush Current When power is first supplied to the IC, it is possible that the internal logic may be unstable and inrush current may flow instantaneously due to the internal powering sequence and delays, especially if the IC has more than one power supply. Therefore, give special consideration to power coupling capacitance, power wiring, width of ground wiring, and routing of connections. 7. Testing on Application Boards When testing the IC on an application board, connecting a capacitor directly to a low-impedance output pin may subject the IC to stress. Always discharge capacitors completely after each process or step. The IC’s power supply should always be turned off completely before connecting or removing it from the test setup during the inspection process. To prevent damage from static discharge, ground the IC during assembly and use similar precautions during transport and storage. 8. Inter-pin Short and Mounting Errors Ensure that the direction and position are correct when mounting the IC on the PCB. Incorrect mounting may result in damaging the IC. Avoid nearby pins being shorted to each other especially to ground , power supply and output pin . Inter-pin shorts could be due to many reasons such as metal particles, water droplets (in very humid environment) and unintentional solder bridge deposited in between pins during assembly to name a few. 9. Unused Input Pins Input pins of an IC are often connected to the gate of a MOS transistor. The gate has extremely high impedance and extremely low capacitance. If left unconnected, the electric field from the outside can easily charge it. The small charge acquired in this w ay is enough to produce a significant effect on the conduction through the transistor and cause unexpected operation of the IC. So unless otherwise specified, unused input pins should be connected to the power supply or ground line.
