DESCRIPTION
MAS9250 is a step-down switching regulator with
an internal main PMOS switch and a synchronous
NMOS switch. No external Schottky diode is
required. MAS9250 uses constant frequency Pulse
Width Modulation (PWM) current mode architecture
to control the output voltage. As a default the
switching frequency is set internally to 550 kHz.
However, it can be adjusted up to 2 MHz by
applying an external resistor between FSR input
and ground or by applying an external frequency
from 400 kHz to 2 MHz to SYNC/M1 input.
Connecting SYNC/M1 to V
IN
enables MAS9250 to
switch automatically to the Pulsed Frequency Mode
(PFM) instead of PWM mode at light loads. When
SYNC/M1 is connected to ground, MAS9250 works
in PWM mode also at light loads thus preventing
low frequency ripple from interfering other circuitry
in the application.
In order to save power the device goes into sleep
mode when the regulator is disabled. Maximum
output current is internally limited even in short
circuit condition.

FSR/M2 (Pin 1):
Pin for Frequency Setting Resistor
and Mode Select 2 Input.
When the internal oscillator
is enabled (see SYNC/M1, definition), an external
resistor between this pin and ground sets oscillation
frequency according to the equation:

SW (Pin 5):
Switch Node Connection to Inductor.
External inductor is connected between this pin and
an output load. This pin connects to the drains of the
main and synchronous power MOSFET switches.
High current routing.
VIN (Pin 6):
Power Supply Pin.
Main power is
connected to this pin. Must be closely decoupled to
GND, pin 4. High current routing
SYNC/M1 (Pin 7):
External Clock Synchronizing and
Mode Select Input.
To use the internal oscillator for
switching and to enable Pulsed Frequency Mode
(PFM) at light loads connect this pin to V
IN
. Internal
oscillator frequency is set by FSR pin (see FSR/M2).
To use the internal oscillator and to force to the PWM
mode also with light load tie this pin to GND. To use
an external clock apply frequency between 400 kHz
and 2 MHz to this pin. Operation mode is then set by
FSR/M2 pin. See Control Terminal Truth table p. 5.
OCS (Pin 8):
Output Capacitor Type Selection Input.
Changes internal compensation. For an output
capacitor, which has an ESR value lower than 0.1
Ω,
connect this input to GND. For capacitors with an ESR
value higher than 0.1
Ω
set this input to V
IN
.
Internal and external resistors are parallel and internal
resistor value is 122 kΩ. If there is no external resistor
(R
EXT
=
∞),
the frequency is set by an internal resistor
to 550 kHz. If switching frequency is set to an external
frequency (see SYNC/M1 definition) and this pin is left
floating, the device is forced to the PWM mode.
Forcing this pin to V
IN
will force the device to PSK
(Pulse Skipping) mode. See Control Terminal Truth
table p. 5.
CTRL (Pin 2):
Enable/Disable Input.
Forcing this input
to GND shuts down MAS9250. In shutdown mode all
the functions are disabled and the circuit draws less
than < 1 µA supply current. Forcing this pin to
V
IN
≥
1.2 V enables MAS9250. CTRL pin shall not be
left floating.
VFB (Pin 3):
Feedback Pin.
Receives the feedback
voltage either from an external resistive divider across
the output (MAS9250C8) or directly from the output
(MAS9250C1, …7). In the latter case, the resistive
divider is internal and the output of the converter must
be connected directly to the VFB pin.
GND (Pin 4):
Ground Pin.
Must be connected with as
short a wire as possible to the ground plane of the
PCB. High current routing.
