GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XCL205/XCL206/XCL207 series is a synchronous step-down micro DC/DC converter which integrates an inductor and a
control IC in one tiny package (2.5mm×2.0mm, H=1.0mm). A stable power supply with an output current of 600mA is
configured using only two capacitors connected externally.
Operating voltage range is from 2.0V to 6.0V(XCL20xG:1.8V6.0V). Output voltage is internally set in a range from 0.8V to
4.0V in increments of 0.05V. The device is operated by 3.0MHz, and includes 0.42ΩP-channel driver transistor and 0.52Ω
N-channel switching transistor. As for operation mode, the XCL205 series is PWM control, the XCL206 series is automatic
PWM/PFM switching control and the XCL207 series can be manually switched between the PWM control mode and the
automatic PWM/PFM switching control mode, allowing fast response, low ripple and high efficiency over the full range of loads
(from light load to heavy load). During stand-by, the device is shutdown to reduce current consumption to as low as 1.0μA or
less. With the built-in UVLO (Under Voltage Lock Out) function, the internal driver transistor is forced OFF when input voltage
becomes 1.4V or lower. XCL205B(G)/XCL206B(G)/XCL207B(G) series provide short-time turn-on by the soft start function
internally set in 0.25 ms (TYP). XCL205B(C,G) /XCL206 B(C,G) / XCL207B(C,G) integrate CL auto discharge function which
enables the electric charge stored at the output capacitor CL to be discharged via the internal auto-discharge switch located
between the LX and VSS pins. When the devices enter stand-by mode, output voltage quickly returns to the VSS level as a result
of this function.

OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION
The XCL205/XCL/206/XCL207 series consists of a reference voltage source, ramp wave circuit, error amplifier, PWM
comparator, phase compensation circuit, output voltage adjustment resistors, P-channel MOSFET driver transistor, N-channel
MOSFET switching transistor for the synchronous switch, current limiter circuit, UVLO circuit with control IC, and an inductor.
(See the block diagram above.) Using the error amplifier, the voltage of the internal voltage reference source is compared with
the feedback voltage from the VOUT pin through split resistors, R1 and R2. Phase compensation is performed on the resulting
error amplifier output, to input a signal to the PWM comparator to determine the turn-on time during PWM operation. The PWM
comparator compares, in terms of voltage level, the signal from the error amplifier with the ramp wave from the ramp wave circuit,
and delivers the resulting output to the buffer driver circuit to cause the Lx pin to output a switching duty cycle. This process is
continuously performed to ensure stable output voltage. The current feedback circuit monitors the P-channel MOS driver
transistor current for each switching operation, and modulates the error amplifier output signal to provide multiple feedback
signals. This enables a stable feedback loop even when a low ESR capacitor such as a ceramic capacitor is used ensuring
stable output voltage.
<Reference Voltage Source>
The reference voltage source provides the reference voltage to ensure stable output voltage of the DC/DC converter.
<Ramp Wave Circuit>
The ramp wave circuit determines switching frequency. The frequency is fixed internally 3.0MHz. Clock pulses generated in
this circuit are used to produce ramp waveforms needed for PWM operation, and to synchronize all the internal circuits.
<Error Amplifier>
The error amplifier is designed to monitor output voltage. The amplifier compares the reference voltage with the feedback
voltage divided by the internal split resistors, R1 and R2. When a feed back voltage is lower than the reference voltage, the
output voltage of the error amplifier is increased. The gain and frequency characteristics of the error amplifier output are fixed
internally to deliver an optimized signal to the mixer.
<Current Limit>
The current limiter circuit of the XCL205/XCL206/XCL207 series monitors the current flowing through the P-channel MOS driver
transistor connected to the Lx pin, and features a combination of the current limit mode and the operation suspension mode.
①When the driver current is greater than a specific level, the current limit function operates to turn off the pulses from the Lx pin
at any given timing.
②When the driver transistor is turned off, the limiter circuit is then released from the current limit detection state.
③At the next pulse, the driver transistor is turned on. However, the transistor is immediately turned off in the case of an over
current state.
④When the over current state is eliminated, the IC resumes its normal operation.
The IC waits for the over current state to end by repeating the steps ①through . If an over current state continues for a few
milliseconds and the above three steps are repeatedly performed, the IC performs the function of latching the OFF state of the
driver transistor, and goes into operation suspension state. Once the IC is in suspension state, operations can be resumed by
either turning the IC off via the CE/MODE pin, or by restoring power to the VIN pin. The suspension state does not mean a
complete shutdown, but a state in which pulse output is suspended; therefore, the internal circuitry remains in operation. The
current limit of the XCL205/XCL206/XCL207 series can be set at 1050mA at typical. Depending on the state of the PC Board,
latch time may become longer and latch operation may not work. In order to avoid the effect of noise, an input capacitor is
placed as close to the IC as possible.

OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION (Continued)
<Short-Circuit Protection>
The short-circuit protection circuit monitors the internal R1 and R2 divider voltage from the VOUT pin (refer to FB point in the
block diagram shown in the previous page). In case where output is accidentally shorted to the Ground and when the FB
point voltage decreases less than half of the reference voltage (Vref) and a current more than the ILIM flows to the driver
transistor, the short-circuit protection quickly operates to turn off and to latch the driver transistor. In the latch state, the
operation can be resumed by either turning the IC off and on via the CE/MODE pin, or by restoring power supply to the VIN
pin.
When sharp load transient happens, a voltage drop at the VOUT is propagated to the FB point through CFB, as a result, short
circuit protection may operate in the voltage higher than 1/2 VOUT voltage.
<UVLO Circuit>
When the VIN pin voltage becomes 1.4V or lower, the P-channel output driver transistor is forced OFF to prevent false pulse
output caused by unstable operation of the internal circuitry. When the VIN pin voltage becomes 1.8V or higher, switching
operation takes place. By releasing the UVLO function, the IC performs the soft start function to initiate output startup operation.
The soft start function operates even when the VIN pin voltage falls momentarily below the UVLO operating voltage. 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.
<PFM Switch Current>
In PFM control operation, until coil current reaches to a specified level (IPFM), the IC keeps the P-ch MOSFET on. In this case,
on-time (tON) that the P-ch MOSFET is kept on can be given by the following formula.
tON = L
×
IPFM / (VIN
VOUT) IPFM
<PFM Duty Limit>
In the PFM control operation, the PFM Duty Limit (DTYLIMIT_PFM) is set to 200% (TYP.). Therefore, under the condition that the
duty increases (e.g. the condition that the step-down ratio is small), it’s possible for P-ch MOSFET to be turned off even when coil
current doesn’t reach to IPFM. →IPFM

CL High Speed Discharge
The XCL205B(C,G)/ XCL206B(C,G)/ XCL207B(C,G) series can quickly discharge the electric charge at the output capacitor (CL)
when a low signal to the CE pin which enables a whole IC circuit put into OFF state, is inputted via the N-channel transistor
located between the LX pin and the VSS pin. When the IC is disabled, electric charge at the output capacitor (CL) is quickly
discharged so that it may avoid application malfunction. Discharge time of the output capacitor (CL) is set by the CL
auto-discharge resistance (R) and the output capacitor (CL). By setting time constant of a CL auto-discharge resistance value [R]
and an output capacitor value (CL) as τ(τ=C x R), discharge time of the output voltage after discharge via the N channel
transistor is calculated by the following formula.
V = VOUT(T) x e –t/τ or t=τln (VOUT(T) / V)

1. The XCL205/XCL206/XCL207 series is designed for use with ceramic output capacitors. If, however, the potential
difference is too large between the input voltage and the output voltage, a ceramic capacitor may fail to absorb the resulting
high switching energy and oscillation could occur on the output. If the input-output potential difference is large, connect an
electrolytic capacitor in parallel to compensate for insufficient capacitance.
2. Spike noise and ripple voltage arise in a switching regulator as with a DC/DC converter. These are greatly influenced by
external component selection, such as the coil inductance, capacitance values, and board layout of external components.
Once the design has been completed, verification with actual components should be done.
3. Depending on the input-output voltage differential, or load current, some pulses may be skipped, and the ripple voltage may
increase.
4. When the difference between VIN and VOUT is large in PWM control, very narrow pulses will be outputted, and there is the
possibility that some cycles may be skipped completely.
5. When the difference between VIN and VOUT is small, and the load current is heavy, very wide pulses will be outputted and
there is the possibility that some cycles may be skipped completely.
6. With the IC, the peak current of the coil is controlled by the current limit circuit. Since the peak current increases when
dropout voltage or load current is high, current limit starts operation, and this can lead to instability. When peak current
becomes high, please adjust the coil inductance value and fully check the circuit operation. In addition, please calculate
the peak current according to the following formula:

7. When the peak current which exceeds limit current flows within the specified time, the built-in P-ch driver transistor turns off.
During the time until it detects limit current and before the built-in transistor can be turned off, the current for limit current
flows; therefore, care must be taken when selecting the rating for the external components such as a coil.
8. When VIN is less than 2.4V, limit current may not be reached because voltage falls caused by ON resistance.
9. Depending on the state of the PC Board, latch time may become longer and latch operation may not work. In order to avoid
the effect of noise, the board should be laid out so that input capacitors are placed as close to the IC as possible.
10. Use of the IC at voltages below the recommended voltage range may lead to instability.
11. This IC should be used within the stated absolute maximum ratings in order to prevent damage to the device.
12. When the IC is used in high temperature, output voltage may increase up to input voltage level at no load because of the
leak current of the driver transistor.
13. The current limit is set to 1350mA (MAX.) at typical. However, the current of 1350mA or more may flow. In case that the
current limit functions while the VOUT pin is shorted to the GND pin, when P-ch MOSFET is ON, the potential difference for
input voltage will occur at both ends of a coil. For this, the time rate of coil current becomes large. By contrast, when
N-ch MOSFET is ON, there is almost no potential difference at both ends of the coil since the VOUT pin is shorted to the
GND pin. Consequently, the time rate of coil current becomes quite small. According to the repetition of this operation,
and the delay time of the circuit, coil current will be converged on a certain current value, exceeding the amount of current,
which is supposed to be limited originally. Even in this case, however, after the over current state continues for several
ms, the circuit will be latched. A coil should be used within the stated absolute maximum rating in order to prevent
damage to the device.
①Current flows into P-ch MOSFET to reach the current limit (ILIM).
The current of ILIM or more flows since the delay time of the circuit occurs during from the detection of the current limit to
OFF of P-ch MOSFET.
Because of no potential difference at both ends of the coil, the time rate of coil current becomes quite small.
Lx oscillates very narrow pulses by the current limit for several ms.
The circuit is latched, stopping its operation.

NOTE ON USE (Continued)
Instructions of pattern layouts
1. In order to stabilize VIN voltage level, we recommend that a by-pass capacitor (CIN) be connected as close as possible to the
VIN (No.6) & VSS (No.5) pins.
2. Please mount each external component as close to the IC as possible.
3. Wire external components as close to the IC as possible and use thick, short connecting traces to reduce the circuit
impedance.
4. Make sure that the PCB GND traces are as thick as possible, as variations in ground potential caused by high ground currents
at the time of switching may result in instability of the IC.
5. This series’ internal driver transistors bring on heat because of the output current and ON resistance of driver transistors.
6. Please connect Lx (No.1) pin and L1 (No.7) pin by wiring on the PCB.
7. Please connect VOUT (No.3) pin and L2 (No.8) pin by wiring on the PCB.
