DESCRIPTION
KEY FEATURES
NX7102 is a 340kHz fixed
frequency, current mode, PWM
synchronous buck (step-down) DC-
DC converter, capable of driving a 3A
load with high efficiency, excellent
line and load regulation. The device
integrates N-channel power MOSFET
switches with low on-resistance.
Current mode control provides fast
transient response and cycle-by-cycle
current limit.
The controller is equipped with
output over-voltage protection which
protects the IC under an open load
condition. Additional safety features
include
under
voltage
lock-out
(UVLO), programmable soft-start and
over-temperature protection (OTP) to
protect the circuit.
This IC is available in SOIC-8 with
exposed pad package.

Description
Bootstrap pin. A minimum 10nF bootstrap capacitor is connected between the BS pin and SW pin.
The voltage across the bootstrap capacitor drives the internal high side NMOS.
Supply input pin. A capacitor should be connected between the VIN pin and GND pin to keep the
input voltage constant.
Power switch output pin. This pin is connected to the inductor and bootstrap capacitor.
Ground.
Feedback pin. This pin is connected to an external resistor divider to program the system output
voltage. When the FB pin voltage exceeds 20% of the nominal regulation value of 0.925V, the
over voltage protection is triggered. When the FB pin voltage is below 0.3V, the oscillator
frequency is lowered to realize short circuit protection.
Compensation pin. This pin is the output of the transconductance error amplifier and the input to
the current comparator. It is used to compensate the control loop. Connect a series RC network
from this pin to GND. In some cases, an additional capacitor from this pin to GND pin is required.
Control input pin. Forcing this pin above 2.7V enables the IC. Forcing this pin below 1.1V shuts
down the IC. When the IC is in shutdown mode, all functions are disabled to decrease the supply
current below 1μA.
Soft-start control input pin. SS controls the soft start period. Connect a capacitor from SS to GND
to set the soft-start period. A 0.1μF capacitor sets the soft-start period to 9ms. To disable the soft-
start feature, leave SS unconnected.
