AOZ6683CI Protection Features
The relation between the input capacitor RMS current and voltage conversion ratio is calculated

and shown

in AOZ6683CI has multiple protection features to prevent Figure 11 below. It can be seen that when V system circuit damage under abnormal conditions. OUT is half of VIN, CIN is under the worst current stress. The worst cur-

Power-On Reset (POR)
A power-on reset circuit monitors the VIN voltage. When 0.3 I (m) CIN_RMS VIN voltage exceeds 4.1V, the converter will start to IO operate. When VIN voltage falls below 3.7V, the 0.2 converter will be shut down. 0.1

Inductor
The input ripple voltage can be approximated by The inductor is used to supply constant current to output equation below: when it is driven by a switching voltage. For given input and output voltage, inductance and switching frequency IOUT  VOUT VOUT together decide the inductor ripple current as below: V = ---------   – -------  ------- IN 1  f  C  V IN IN  VIN V  V  I OUT = ------- OUT   – ------- L 1  f  L V  IN  Since the input current is discontinuous in a buck converter, the current stress on the input capacitor is another concern when selecting the capacitor. For a buck The peak inductor current is: circuit, the RMS value of input capacitor current can be I calculated by: I L = + ---- Lpeak IOUT 2 OUT V V I  I  1 ( OUT  ) High inductance gives low inductor ripple current but CIN _ RMS OUT VIN VIN requires larger size inductor to avoid saturation. Low ripple current reduces inductor core losses. It also reduces RMS current through inductor and switches, if let m equal the conversion ratio: which results in less conduction loss. Usually, peak to V peak ripple current on inductor is designed to be 20% to O ---- = m 40% of output current. VIN Rev. 2.0 January 2019
