EN6337QI
Compensation
Thermal Overload Protection
The EN6337QI uses a type 3 compensation
network. As noted earlier, a piece of the
compensation network is the phase lead
capacitor CA in Figure 6. This network is
optimized for use with about 50-100μF of
output capacitance and will provide wide loop
bandwidth and excellent transient performance
for most applications. Voltage mode operation
provides high noise immunity at light load.
Thermal shutdown circuit will disable device
operation when the Junction temperature
exceeds approximately 150ºC. After a thermal
shutdown
event,
when
the
junction
temperature drops by approx 20ºC, the
converter will re-start with a normal soft-start.
Input Under-Voltage Lock-Out
Internal circuits ensure that the converter will
not start switching until the input voltage is
above the specified minimum voltage.
Hysteresis and input de-glitch circuits ensure
high noise immunity and prevent false UVLO
triggers.
In some applications, modifications to the
compensation may be required. For more

Application Information
The EN6337QI output voltage is programmed
using a simple resistor divider network. Figure
6 shows the resistor divider configuration.

The EN6337QI has been nominally optimized
for use with approximately 50-100μF of output
capacitance. Low ESR ceramic capacitors are

formulations must not be used as these lose
too much capacitance with frequency,
temperature and bias voltage.
An additional compensation capacitor CA is
also required in parallel with the upper resistor.
Output ripple voltage is determined by the
aggregate output capacitor impedance. Output
impedance, denoted as Z, is comprised of
effective series resistance, ESR, and effective
series inductance, ESL:
Input Capacitor Selection
The EN6337QI requires about 20uF of input
capacitance. Low-cost, low-ESR ceramic
capacitors should be used as input capacitors
for this converter. The dielectric must be X5R
or X7R rated. Y5V or equivalent dielectric
formulations must not be used as these lose
too much capacitance with frequency,
temperature and bias voltage. In some
applications, lower value capacitors are
needed in parallel with the larger, capacitors in
order to provide high frequency decoupling.
Z = ESR + ESL
Placing output capacitors in parallel reduces
the impedance and will hence result in lower
PWM ripple voltage. In addition, higher output
capacitance will improve overall regulation and
ripple in light-load mode.
