OPERATION FREQUENCY
PRELIMINARY DATA SHEET
Pb Free Product
DESCRIPTION
The NX9511B is synchronous buck switching converter
in multi chip module designed for step down DC to DC
converter applications. They are optimized to convert
bus voltages from 2V to 25V to as low as 0.8V output
voltage. The output current can be up to 9A. The NX9511B
offer an Enable pin that can be used to program the
converter's start up. NX9511B operates at fixed internal
frequency of 1MHz and employ loss-less current limit-
ing protection by sensing the Rdson of synchronous
MOSFET followed by latch out feature. Feedback under
voltage triggers Hiccup.
Other features are: Internal digital soft start; Vcc
undervoltage lock out and shutdown capability via the
enable pin or comp pin. NX9511B is available in 5x5 MCM
package.

PIN DESCRIPTION
S1
Bus input which is connected to high side MOSFET's drain.
D2
S2
NC
LG
VCC
Low side gate driver output for monitoring.
Power supply voltage. A high freq 1uF ceramic capacitor is placed as close as pos-
sible to and connected to this pin and ground pin. The maximum rating of this pin is
5V.
External enable signal input for the controller.
This pin is the error amplifier inverting input. It is connected via resistor divider to the
output of the switching regulator to set the output DC voltage. When FB pin voltage is
lower than 0.6V, hiccup circuit starts to recycle the soft start circuit after 2048 switching
cycles.
This pin is the output of error amplifier and is used to compensate the voltage control
feedback loop. This pin can also be used to perform a shutdown if pulled lower than
0.3V.
This pin is connected to the drain of the external low side MOSFET via resistor and
is the input of the over current protection(OCP) comparator. An internal current source
40uA is flown to the external resistor which sets the OCP voltage across the Rdson
of the low side MOSFET. Current limit point is this voltage divided by the Rds-on.
Once this threshold is reached the Hdrv and Ldrv pins are latched out.
Ground pin.
SW is the controller pin out which needs to be connected to S1and D2 and provides
return path for the high side driver.
High side gate driver output which needs to be connected high side MOSFET gate
HG.
This pin supplies voltage to high side FET driver. A high freq 0.1uF ceramic capacitor
is placed as close as possible to and connected to these pins and respected SW
pins.
Analog ground.
High side MOSFET gate which needs to be connected to high side gate driver output
HDRV.
Drain of High side MOSFET.
Drain of low side MOSFET.
Source of low side MOSFET and need to be connected to power ground.
