PI33xx-x0
Inductor Pairing
The PI33xx-x0 utilizes an external inductor. This inductor has been
optimized for maximum efficiency performance. Table 4 details
the specific inductor value and part number utilized for each
PI33xx-x0 device which are available from Coiltronics and Eaton.

Thermal Derating
Thermal de-rating curves are provided that are based on
component temperature changes versus load current, input
voltage and air flow. It is recommended to use these curves as a
guideline for proper thermal de-rating. These curves represent
the entire system and are inclusive to both the Picor regulator and
the external inductor. Maximum thermal operation is limited by
either the MOSFETs or inductor depending upon line and load
conditions.
Thermal measurements were made using a standard
PI33xx-x0 Evaluation board which is 3 x 4 inches in area and uses
4-layer, 2 oz copper. Thermal measurements were made on the
three main power devices, the two internal MOSFETs and the
external inductor, with air flows of 0, 200, and 400 LFM.
Filter Considerations
The PI33xx-x0 requires input bulk storage capacitance as well as
low impedance ceramic X5R input capacitors to ensure proper
start up and high frequency decoupling for the power stage. The
PI33xx-x0 will draw nearly all of the high frequency current from
the low impedance ceramic capacitors when the main high side
MOSFET is conducting. During the time the high side MOSFET
is off, they are replenished from the bulk capacitor. If the input
impedance is high at the switching frequency of the converter,
the bulk capacitor must supply all of the average current into
the converter, including replenishing the ceramic capacitors. This
value has been chosen to be 100 µF so that the PI33xx-x0 can
start up into a full resistive load and supply the output capacitive
load with the default minimum soft start capacitor when the
input source impedance is 50 Ohms at 1 MHz. The ESR for this
capacitor should be approximately 20 mΩ. The RMS ripple current
in this capacitor is small, so it should not be a concern if the input
recommended ceramic capacitors are used. Table 5 shows the
recommended input and output capacitors to be used for the
various models as well as expected transient response, RMS ripple
currents per capacitor, and input and output ripple voltages. Table
6 includes the recommended input and output
ceramic capacitors.
