GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XCL221/XCL222 series is a synchronous step-down micro DC/DC converter which integrates an inductor and a control IC in one tiny package (2.0mm×2.5mm, h=1.0mm). An internal coil simplifies the circuit and enables minimization of noise and other operational trouble due to the circuit wiring. A wide operating voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V enables support for applications that require an internally fixed output voltage (0.8V to 3.6V). The XCL221/XCL222 series uses synchronous rectification at an operating frequency of 1.2MHz. The XCL221/XCL222 series uses HiSAT-COT (*) synchronous rectification. HiSAT-COT+PWM control (XCL221) or HiSATCOT+automatic PWM/PFM switching control (XCL222) can be selected. The series have a high speed soft-start as fast as 0.3ms in typical for quick turn-on. With the built-in UVLOfunction, the internal P-channel driver transistor is forced OFF when input voltage becomes 2.0V or lower. When CE=Low, the integrated CL discharge function which enables the electric charge at the output capacitor CL to be discharged via the internal discharge switch located between the LX and PGND pins.
