The S-8337/38 series is a CMOS step-up switching regulator (DC-DC Converter ICs) which mainly consists of a reference voltage circuit, an oscillator, an error amplifier, a PWM controller, an under voltage lockout circuit (UVLO), and a timer latch short-circuit protection circuit. Because its minimum operating voltage is as low as 1.8 V, this switching regulator (DC-DC Converter ICs) is ideal for the power supply of an LCD or for portable systems that operate on a low voltage. The internal oscillation frequency can be set up to 1.133 MHz, via the resistor connected to the ROSC pin.
With the S-8337 series, the maximum duty ratio of PWM control can be controlled by the resistor connected to the RDuty pin. With the S-8338 series, the maximum duty ratio is fixed (to 88%). The phase compensation and gain value can be adjusted according to the values of the resistor and capacitor connected to the CC pin. Therefore, the operation stability and transient response can be correctly set for each application. The reference voltage accuracy is as high as 1.0 V ±1.5%, and any voltage can be output by using an external output voltage setting resistor.
In addition, the delay time of the short-circuit protection circuit can be set by using the capacitor connected to the CSP pin. If the maximum duty condition continues because of short-circuiting, the capacitor externally connected to the CSP pin is charged, and oscillation stops after a specific time. This condition is cleared by re-application of power or by setting the switching regulator(DC-DC Converter ICs) (S-8338 series) to the shutdown status. A ceramic capacitor or a tantalum capacitor is used as the output capacitor, depending on the setting. This controller IC allows various settings and selections and employs a small package, making it very easy to use.
