Application Information
Setting the Output Voltage
The EP53F8QI uses a simple resistor divider to
program the output voltage.
Referring to Figure 5, use 237 kΩ, 1% or better
for the upper resistor (Ra). The value of the
bottom resistor (Rb) in kΩ is given as:
Where V
also be a 1% or better resistor.
A 5.0pF MLCC capacitor is required in parallel
with Ra for compensation.
Input and Output Capacitor Selection
Low ESR MLC capacitors with X5R or X7R or
equivalent dielectric should be used for input
and output capacitors. Y5V or equivalent
dielectrics lose too much capacitance with
frequency,
Therefore, they are not suitable for switch-
mode DC-DC converter filtering, and must be
avoided.
The input filter capacitor requirement is a 10
µF, 10V 0805 MLCC capacitor in parallel with a
680pF MLCC capacitor. The 680pF capacitor
provides additional high frequency decoupling
and is manditory. The 680pF capacitor must
be placed closest to the EP53F8QI as shown
in Figure 5.
The output filter capacitor requirement is a
22 µF, 6.3V, 0805 MLCC for most applications.
The output ripple can be reduced by using 2 x
22 µF, 6.3V, 0805 MLC capacitors.

AVIN Decoupling
AVIN should be connected to PVIN using a
10Ω resistor. An 0402 or smaller case size is
recommended for this resistor. A 1 µF, 10 V,
0402 MLC capacitor should be connected from
AVIN to AGND to provide high frequency
decoupling for the control circuitry supply for
optimal performance.
POK Pull Up Resistor Selection
If the POK signal is required for the application.
The POK pin must be pulled up through a
resistor to any voltage source that can be as
high as V
POK to the power input of the converter
through a resistor. A 100 kΩ pull up resistor is
recommended
minimal current drain from the voltage source
and good noise immunity. POK can sink up to
5mA.
