iC-WD A/B/C SWITCHED-MODE DUAL VOLTAGE REGULATOR Rev D1, Page 2/12 DESCRIPTION The device iC-WD is a monolithic switching regulator with two downstream 5V resp. 3.3V linear regulators. In view of the high efficiency of the down converter for an input voltage range of 8 to 36 V, the iC-WD family is well-suited for industrial applications which require a stabilised 5 V resp. 3.3 V power supply with minimal power dissipation and few components. Switching transistor, free-wheeling diode and oscillator are integrated, limiting the necessary external elements for the switching regulator to the inductor,...

iC-WD A/B/C SWITCHED-MODE DUAL VOLTAGE REGULATOR Rev D1, Page 6/12 DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS Fig. 1 illustrates the operating principle of the switching converter in simplified form. When the switch S closes in steady-state condition, a linearly increasing charging current for the capacitor CVH flows through the coil LVH in addition to the load current in RL. The energy from the supply VB is stored in the coil’s magnetic field. When the switch opens, the current flows via the diode through the coil; its energy content is supplied to capacitor and load. VB VH Vsat V(LVH) VD S LVH CVH RL Figure...

The cut-off current can no longer be reached in this case since: (VB -VH -Vsat )/RLVH < Ioff . The switching transistor is switched on continuously and VH reaches: VH = VB - Vsat - I(VH) × RLVH. Factoring in this special feature makes it possible to operate the iC-WD even at low supply voltage. Operability is still guaranteed...

iC-WD A/B/C SWITCHED-MODE DUAL VOLTAGE REGULATOR Rev D1, Page 9/12 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION DIMENSIONING The size of shunt RVB determines the cut-off current Ioff . By varying this in combination with the value for the inductor LVH, the power input, the efficiency and the timing can be adapted to the application. Normally the supply voltage range and the maximum output current for VCC and VCCA is specified. Define whether or not only intermittent flow is desired. The maximum inductance LVH can be estimated on the following basis: In the worst situation, charging and discharging process last exactly...
