input condition changes to bring it out of
the shutdown mode.
Inductor Selection
A 22uH inductor is recommended for most
applications to the dc to dc converter and
OLED supply and TFT panel power supply .
Although small size and high efficiency are
major concerns, the inductor should have
low core losses at 1MHz and low DCR
(copper wire resistance).
Diode Selection
To maintain high efficiency, the average
current rating of the Schottky diode should
be large than the peak inductor current, IPK.
Schottky diode with a low forward drop and
fast switching speeds are ideal for increase
efficiency in portable application. Choose a
reverse breakdown of the Schottky diode
large than the output voltage.
Capacitor Selection
Choose low ESR capacitors for the output
to minimize output voltage ripple. Multilayer
capacitors are a good choice for this as well.
A 4.7uF capacitor is sufficient for most
applications. For additional bypassing, a
100nF ceramic capacitor can be used to
shunt high frequency ripple on the input.
The input bypass capacitor Cin, as shown
in Figure 1, must be placed close to the IC.
This will reduce copper trace resistance
which affects input voltage ripple of the IC.
For additional input voltage filtering, a
100nF bypass capacitor can be placed in

parallel with Cin to shunt any high
frequency noise to ground. The output
capacitor, Cout, should also be placed
close to the IC. Any copper trace
connections for the Cout capacitor can
increase the series resistance, which
directly effect output voltage ripple.
The feedback network, resister R2 should
be kept close to the FB pin to minimize
copper trace connections that can inject
noise into the system. The ground
connection for the feedback resistor
network should connect directly to an
analog ground plane. The analog ground
plane should tie directly to the GND pin. If
no analog ground plane is available, the
ground connection for the feedback
network should tie directly to the GND pin.
Trace connections made to the inductor
and Schottky diode should be minimized to
reduce power dissipation and increase
overall efficiency.
