OUTLINE
The R1221N Series are PWM step-down DC/DC Converter controllers embedded with a voltage detector, with
low supply current by CMOS process.
Each
step-down DC/DC converter in these ICs consists of an oscillator, a PWM control circuit, a reference
voltage unit, an error amplifier, a soft-start circuit, a protection circuit, a PWM/VFM alternative circuit, a chip
enable circuit, and resistors for voltage detection. A low ripple, high efficiency step-down DC/DC converter can be
composed of this IC with only four external components, or a power-transistor, an inductor, a diode and a
capacitor.
The output voltage of DC/DC converter can be supervised by the built-in voltage detector.
With a PWM/VFM alternative circuit, when the load current is small, the operation turns into the VFM oscillator
And the PWM/VFM alternative circuit is an option, in terms of C version and D version, the circuit is not included.
If the term of maximum duty cycle keeps on a certain time, the embedded protection circuit works. There are two
types of protection function. One is latch-type protection circuit, and it works to latch an external Power MOS with
keeping it disable. To release the condition of protection, after disable this IC with a chip enable circuit, enable it
again, or restart this IC with power-on. The other is Reset-type protection circuit, and it works to restart the
operation with soft-start and repeat this operation until maximum duty cycle condition is released. Either of these
protection circuits can be designated by users’ request.
