・ OSC
Generates the triangular wave oscillation frequency (900kHz) using an internal resistors and capacitor. Used for PWM
comparator input.
・ Error AMP
This block, via the INV pin, detects the resistor-divided output voltage, compares this with the reference voltage, then
amplifies and outputs the difference.
・ PWM COMP
Outputs PWM signals to the Driver block, which converts the error amp output voltage to PWM form.
・ DRIVER
This push-pull FET driver powers the internal Pch MOSFET, which accepts direct PWM input.
・ STBY
Controls ON/OFF operation via the STBY pin. The output is ON when STBY is High.

• Place capacitors between Vcc and Ground, and the Schottky diode as close as possible to the IC to reduce noise and
maximize efficiency.
• Connect resistors between INV and Ground, and the output capacitor filter at the same Ground potential in order to stabilize
the output voltage.
(If the patterning is longer or thin, it’s possible to cause ringing or waveform crack.)

BD9873CP-V5,BD9874CP-V5 Technical Note
Inductor L1
A large inductor series impedance will result in deterioration of efficiency. OCP operation greater than 1.6A may cause
inductor overheating, possibly leading to overload or output short.
Note that the current rating for the coil should be higher than IOUT(MAX)+⊿IL.
Iout(MAX): maximum load current
If you flow more than maximum current rating, coil will become overload, and cause magnetic saturation, and those account
for efficiency deterioration. Select from enough current rating of coil which doesn’t over peak current.
(VCC-VOUT) VOUT 1
⊿IL. = × ×
L1 VCC fosc
L1:inductor value, VCC:maximum input voltage, VOUT:output voltage, ⊿IL:coil ripple current value, fosc:oscillation frequency
Schottky Diode D1
Select a Schottky diode having an inter-terminal capacity as small as possible (reverse recovery time as short as possible)
and a forward voltage VF as low as possible. (Noise can be reduced and efficiency improved by reduction of switching
noise and switching loss, as well as reduction of voltage drop loss of forward voltage.)
Diode should be selected on the basis of maximum current rating in forward direction, voltage rating in reverse direction,
and power dissipation of diode.
・The maximum current rating is higher than the combined maximum load current and coil ripple current (⊿IL).
・The reverse voltage rating is higher than the VIN value.
・Power dissipation for the selected diode must be within the rated level.
Pdi=Iout(MAX)×Vf×(1-VOUT/VCC)
Iout(MAX): maximum load current, Vf: forward voltage, VOUT: output voltage, VCC: input voltage
Output Capacitor C4
A suitable output capacitor should satisfy the following formula for ESR:
ESR≦⊿VL/⊿IL
⊿VL : permissible ripple voltage, ⊿IL : coil ripple current
Another factor that must be considered is the permissible ripple current. Select a capacitor with sufficient margin, governed
by the following formula:
IRMS =⊿IL/2√3
IRMS: effective value of ripple current to the output capacitor, ⊿IL : coil ripple current
The output capacitor is one of the important parts for system stability, and when some capacitor is selected, expected
characteristics cannot be provided, depending on ambient temperature, output voltage setting condition, etc.
Fully confirm ESR, temperature characteristics, DC, and bias characteristics before evaluation.
The input capacitor is the source of current flow to the coil via the built-in Pch FET when the FET is ON. When selecting
the input capacitor sufficient margin must be provided to accommodate capacitor voltage and permissible ripple current.
The expression below defines the effective value of the ripple current to the input capacitor. It should be used in
determining the suitability of the capacitor in providing sufficient margin for the permissible ripple current.

●Operation Notes
1) Absolute maximum ratings
Use of the IC in excess of absolute maximum ratings such as the applied voltage or operating temperature range may result in IC
deterioration or damage. Assumptions should not be made regarding the state of the IC (short mode or open mode) when such
damage is suffered. A physical safety measure such as a fuse should be implemented when use of the IC in a special mode where
the absolute maximum ratings may be exceeded is anticipated.
2) GND potential
Ensure a minimum GND pin potential in all operating conditions. In addition, ensure that no pins other than the GND pin carry
a voltage lower than or equal to the GND pin, including during actual transient phenomena.
3) Thermal design
Use a thermal design that allows for a sufficient margin in light of the power dissipation (Pd) in actual operating conditions.
8) Common impedance
Power supply and ground wiring should reflect consideration of the need to lower common impedance and minimize ripple as much as
possible (by making wiring as short and thick as possible or rejecting ripple by incorporating inductance and capacitance).
9) Applications with modes that reverse VCC and pin potentials may cause damage to internal IC circuits.
For example, such damage might occur when VCC is shorted with the GND pin while an external capacitor is charged.
It is recommended to insert a diode for preventing back current flow in series with VCC or bypass diodes between VCC and
each pin.
