The S-8337/8338 Series is a CMOS step-up switching regulator 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 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 tim e. This condition is cleared by
re-application of power or by setting the switching regulator (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.

However, the maximum duty is in the range of typical values when an ideal resistor is externally connected, so actually the fluctuation

*3. The short-circuit protection time can be set by the external capacitor, and the maximum set value by the external capacitor is unlimited
when an ideal case is assumed. But, use C SP = approximately 0.47 μF as a ta rget maximum value due to the need to conside r the
discharge time of the capacito r.

Operation
1. Switching control method
PWM control (S-8337/8338 Series)
The S-8337/8338 Series is a DC-DC converter using a pulse width modulation method (PWM).
The pulse width of the S-8337/8338 Series varies from 0% to the maximum duty set by RDuty
depending on the load current (the pulse width of the S-8338 Series is fixed to 88%), but its switching
frequency does not change. Consequently, the ripple voltage generated from switching can be
removed easily via a filter.
2. Soft-start function
For this IC, the built-in soft-start circuit controls the rush current and overshoot of the output voltage
when powering on or when the OFFON/ pin is switched to the “H” level. A reference voltage
adjustment method is adopted as the soft-start method. The following describes the soft-start
function.
The raising of the output voltage is controlled by slowly raising the reference voltage of the error
amplifier input from 0 V at power on as shown in Figure 7. The soft-start function is realized by
controlling the voltage of the FB pin so that it is the same potential as the reference voltage that is
slowly raised. A Rail-to-Rail amplifier is adopted as the error amplifier, which means that the voltage
is loop controlled so that it can be the same as the reference voltage.
The following explains the operation at power on (refer to Figure 8).
When VIN is raised from 0 V to 3.3 V, th e VOUT voltage rises to a value close to VIN via the inductor L
and diode SD. This raises the voltage of the FB pin (VFB) by approximately 0.35 V (when RFB1 = 8.2
kΩ, RFB2 = 1.0 kΩ). Because the reference voltage rises from 0 V, the VFB voltage is higher than the
reference voltage while the voltage rises from 0 V to 0.35 V. During this period, the EXT output is low.
The EXT output is in the stepped-up status between high and low after the reference voltage reaches
0.35 V and VOUT is slowly raised in accordance with the rising of the reference voltage.
Once the reference voltage rises, the voltage cannot be reset (the reference voltage is 0 V) unless the
power supply voltage is the UVLO detection voltage or lower or the shutdown pin is the “L” level.
Conversely, when the power supply voltage rises up to the reset voltage after it is lowered to the
UVLO detection voltage or lower, the output voltage is stepped up by the soft- start function.

3. Shutdown pin (S-8338 Series only)
This pin stops or starts step-up operations.
Switching the shutdown pin to the “L” level stops operation of all the internal circuits and reduces the
current consumption significantly.
DO NOT use the shutdown pin in a floating state because it is not pulled up or p ulled down in ternally.
DO NOT apply voltage of between 0.3 V and 1.8 V to the shutdown pin because applying such a
voltage increases the current consumption. If the shutdown pin is not used, connect it to the VIN pin.

4. Timer latch short-circuit protection function
This IC has a timer latch short-circuit protection circuit that stops the switching operation when the
output voltage drops for a specific time due to output short-circuiting. A capacitor (CSP) that is used
to set the delay time of this short-circuit protection circuit is connected to the CSP pin.
This IC operates at the maximum duty ratio if the output voltage drops due to output short-circuiting.
At the maximum duty ratio, constant-current charging of CSP starts. If this status las ts for a specific
time and the CSP pin voltage rises above the reference voltage (1 V), the latch mode is set. Note that
the latch mode is different from the shutdown status in that the switching operation is stopped but the
internal circuitry operates normally.
To reset the latch operation to protect the IC from short-circuiting, either lower VIN to the timer latch
reset voltage or lower or lower the level of the shutdown pin to “L”. Note that the latch operation is not
reset even if VIN falls below the UVLO voltage.
5. UVLO function
This IC includes a UVLO (under-voltage lockout) circuit to prevent the IC from malfunctioning due to a
transient status when power is applied or a momentary drop of the supply voltage. When UVLO is in
the detection state, switching is stopped and the external FET is held in the off status. Once UVLO
enters the detection state, the soft-start function is reset.
Note that the other internal circuits operate normally and that the status is different from the power-off
status.

6. Error amplifier
The error amplifier outputs the PWM control signal so that the voltage of the FB pin is held at a specific
value (1 V). By connecting a resistor (RZ) and capacitor (CZ) to the output pin (CC pin) of the error
amplifier in series, an optional loop gain can be set, enabling stabilized phase compensation.

During tON, energy is stored in L and is not transmitted to VOUT. When receiving output current (IOUT)
from VOUT, the energy of the capacitor (CL) is used. As a result, the pin voltage of CL is reduced, and
goes to the lowest level after M1 is turned ON (tON). When M1 is turned OFF, the energy stored in L is
transmitted via the diode to CL, and the pin voltage of CL rises drastically. Because VOUT is a time
function indicating the maximum value (ripple voltage: Vp-p) when the current flowing through the
diode into VOUT and the load current IOUT match.
Next, this ripple voltage is determined as follows.

External Parts Selection
1. Inductor
The inductance has a strong influence on the maximum output current (IOUT) and efficiency (η).
The peak current (IPK) increases by decreasing L and the stability of the circuit improves and IOUT
increases. If L is decreased further, the efficiency falls, and IOUT decreases if the current drive
capability of the external transistor is insufficient.
The loss of IPK by the switching transistor decreases by increasing L and the efficiency becomes
maximum at a certain L value. Further increasing L decrease the efficiency due to the loss of the DC
resistance of the inductor. IOUT also decreases.
If the oscillation frequency is higher, a smaller L value can be chosen, making the inductor smaller. In
the S-8337/8338 Series, the oscillation frequency can be varied within the range of 286 kHz to 1.133
MHz by the external resistor, so select an L value best suited to the frequency. The recommended
value is between 2.2 μH and 22 μH.
When selecting an inductor, note the allowable current of the inductor. If a current exceeding this
allowable current flows through the inductor, magnetic saturation occurs, substantially lowering the
efficiency and increasing the current, which results in damage to the IC.
Therefore, select an inductor so that IPK does not exceed the allowable current. IPK is expressed by
the following equations in the discontinuous mode and continuous mode.

fOSC = Oscillation frequency, VD ≅ 0.4 V.
2. Diode
Use an external diode that meets the following requirements.
• Low forward voltage
• High switching speed
• Reverse breakdown voltage: VOUT + [Spike voltage] or more
• Rated current: IPK or mo re
3. Capacitors (CIN, CL)
The capacitor on the input side (CIN) can lower the supply impedance and level the input current for
better efficiency. Select C IN according to the impedance of the power supply to be used.
The capacitor on the output side (CL) is used to smooth the output voltage. Select an appropriate
capacitance value based on the I/O conditions and l oad conditions. A capacitance of 10 μF or more is
recommended.
By adjusting the phase compensation of the feedback loop using the external resistor (RZ) and
capacitor (CZ), a ceramic capacitor can be used as the capacitor on the output side. If a capacitor
whose equivalent series resistance is between 30 mΩ and 500 mΩ is used as the output capacitor, the
adjustable range of the phase compensation is wider; however, note that other characteristics may be
affected by ripple voltage or other conditions at this time. The optimal capacitor differs depending on
the L value, capacitance value, wiring, and application (output load), so select the capacitor after
performing sufficient evaluation under the actual usage conditions.

4. External transistor
A bipolar (NPN) or enhancement (N-channel) MOS FET transistor can be used as the external
capacitor.
4. 1 Bipolar (NPN) type
The driving capability when the output current is increased by using a bipolar transistor is
determined by hFE and Rb of the bipolar transistor. Figure 11 shows a peripheral circuit.

1 kΩ is recommended for Rb. Actually, calculate the necessary base current (Ib) from hFE of the
bipolar transistor as follows and select an Rb value lower than this.
Ib = hFE
IPK
Rb = Ib
VIN – 0.7 – IEXTH
0.4
A small Rb increases the output current, but the efficiency decreases. Actually, a pulsating
current flows and a voltage drop occurs due to the wiring capacitance. Determine the optimum
value by experiment.
A speed-up capacitor (Cb) connected in parallel with Rb resistance as shown in Figure 11
decreases the switching loss and improves the efficiency.
Select Cb by observing the following equation.
Cb ≤ 2π • Rb • fOSC • 0.7
1
However, in practice, the optimum Cb value also varies depending on the characteristics of the
bipolar transistor employed. Therefore, determine the optimum value of Cb by experiment.

4. 2 Enhancement MOS FET type
Use an Nch power MOS FET. For high efficiency, using a MOS FET with a low ON resistance
(RON) and small input capacitance (CISS) is ideal, however, ON resistance and input capacitance
generally share a trade-off relationship. The ON resistance is efficient in a range in which the
output current is relatively great during low-frequency switching, and the input capacitance is
efficient in a range in which the output current is middling during high-frequency switching. Select
a MOS FET whose ON resistance and input capacitance are optimal depending on the usage
conditions.
The input voltage (VIN) is supplied for the gate voltage of the MOS FET, so select a MOS FET with
a gate withstanding voltage that is equal to the maximum usage value of the input voltage or
higher and a drain withstanding voltage that is equal to the amount of the output voltage (VOUT)
and diode voltage (VD) or higher.
If a MOS FET with a threshold that is near the UVLO detection voltage is used, a large current
may flow, stopping the output voltage from rising and possibly generating heat in the worst case.
Select a MOS FET with a threshold that is sufficiently lower than the UVLO detection voltage
value.

With the S-8337/8338 Series, the oscillation frequency can be set in a range of 286 kHz to 1.133 MHz
using external resistance. Connect a resistor across the ROSC and VSS pins. Select the resistor by
using the following equation and referring to Figure 12. However, the following equation and figure
assume that the resistance value is the desired value and show the theoretical values when the IC is
in the typical conditions. Note that fluctuations of re sistance and IC are not considered.

With the S-8337 Series, the maximum duty ratio can be set in a range of 47% to 88.5% by an external
resistor. Connect the resistor across the RDuty and VSS pins. Select the resistance by using the
following equation and referring to Figure 13. The maximum duty ratio fluctuates according to the
oscillation frequency. If the value of ROSC is changed, therefore, be sure to change the value of
RDuty so that it is always in proportion to ROSC. However, the following equation and figure assume
that the resistance value is the desired value and show the theoretical values when the IC is in the
typical conditions. Note that fluctuations of resistance and IC are not considered.

6. Short-circuit protection delay time setting capacitor (CSP)
With the S-8337/8338 Series, the short-circuit protection delay time can be set to any value by an
external capacitor. Connect the capacitor across the CSP and VSS pins. Select the capacitance by
using the following equation and referring to Figure 14. However, the following equation and figure
assume that the capacitor value is the desired value and show the theoretical values when the IC is in
the typical conditions. Note that fluctuations of capacitor and IC are not considered.

7. Output voltage setting resistors (RFB1, RBF2)
With the S-8337/8338 Series, the output voltage can be set to any value by external divider resistors.
Connect the divider resistors across the VOUT and VSS pins. Because VFB = 1 V, the output voltage
can be calculated by this equation.
=
VOUT RFB2
(RFB1 + RFB2)
Connect divider resistors RFB1 and RFB2 as close to the IC to minimize effects from of noise. If noise
does have an effect, adjust the values of RFB1 and RFB2 so that R FB1 + R FB2 < 100 kΩ.
CFB connected in parallel with RFB1 is a capacitor for phase compensation. Select the optimum
value of this capacitor at which the stable operation can be ensured from the values of the inductor
and output capacitor.
8. Phase compensation setting resistor and capacitor (RZ, CZ)
The S-8337/8338 Series needs appropriate compensation for the voltage feedback loop to prevent
excessive output ripple and unstable operation from deteriorating the efficiency. This compensation is
implemented by connecting RZ and CZ in series across the CC and VSS pins. RZ sets the
high-frequency gain for a high-speed transient response. CZ sets the pole and zero of the error
amplifier and keeps the loop stable. Adjust RZ and CZ, taking into consideration conditions such as
the inductor, output capacitor, and load current, so that the optimum transient characteristics can be
obtained.

Precaution
• Mount external capacitors, diodes, and inductor as close as possible to the IC.
• Characteristics ripple voltage and spike noise occur in IC containing switching regulators. Moreover
rush current flows at the time of a power supply injection. Because these largely depend on the inductor,
the capacitor and impedance of power supply used, fully check them using an actually mounted model.
• Make sure the dissipation of the switching transistor (especially at a high temperature) does not exceed
the allowable power dissipation of the package.
• The performance of a switching regulator varies depending on the design of the PCB patterns,
peripheral circuits, and external parts. Thoroughly test all settings with your device.
• This IC builds in soft start function, starts reference voltage gradually, and it is controlled so that FB pin
voltage and reference voltage become this potential. Therefore, keep in mind that it will be in a
maximum duty state according to the factor of IC exterior if FB pin voltage is held less than reference
voltage.
• Although the IC contains a static electricity protection circuit, static electricity or voltage that exceeds
the limit of the protection circuit should not be applied.
• Seiko Instruments Inc. assumes no responsibility for the way in which this IC is used on products
created using this IC or for the specifications of that product, nor does Seiko Instruments Inc. assume
any responsibility for any infringement of patents or copyrights by products that include this IC either in
Japan or in other countries.
