↓Click! Selection of Primary Components and Pin Connections The characteristics of the DC-DC converter are influenced by the IC itself, and also significantly by the peripheral components of the circuit. A well-designed circuit is necessary to make the most of the potential of the MD3221N. It is therefore necessary to clarify the specifications of the required power supply, and to select components as follows.

On the other hand, if a lower inductance value is sufficiently high capacitance so that it need not be selected the size of the required inductor is reduced considered when selecting on the basis of the while peak current is increased, thus slightly equation above. The use of such condensers, rather increasing the loss when a load is applied. than ceramic or film condensers, is therefore recommended. On the other hand, concurrent use of While the MD3221N incorporates an over-current ceramic or film condensers is effective in eliminating protection function, the inductor selected must be such high frequency noise. that magnetic saturation does not occur at the over- current detection point.

/ output voltage of the choke coil. As the average value is the output current, when the (2) Current Regeneration Mode ( L cut OFF ) output current is less than Δ1/2 at low-load the current becomes discontinuous (cut-off). This mode is OFF when the LC and GND pins are connected ( L ) . The current in the choke coil flows in The MD3221N allows selection of two operating the reverse direction, thus regenerating energy and modes in the cut-off region. resulting in a continuous current even at no-load.

As the ON range remains constant irrespective of the load applied, a stable response is obtained even under rapid changes in load from the no-load condition. On the other hand, as the actual current value increases, input current at low-load increases slightly in comparison with that at L cut ON.

As this pattern carries a continuous current, voltage drop rather than Wiring Pattern Illustration ● noise is the important consideration. A long pattern in this case will result in a voltage drop due to pattern DC resistance, and reduced efficiency. The MD3221N is designed to radiate heat through the substrate pattern. In particular, both the V and V pins are allocated each to four pins, and connected directly to the internal lead MD3221N frame. All of these pins may therefore be used to ensure ...
