●Selecting Application Components
(1) Setting the Output L Constant
The coil to use for output is decided by the rating current I
LR and input current maximum value IINMAX of the coil.
Adjust so that I
INMAX +∆IL does not reach the rating current value ILR. At this time, ∆IL can be obtained by the following equation.

Set with sufficient margin because the coil value may have the dispersion of 30%. If the coil current exceeds the rating
current I
LR of the coil, it may damage the IC internal element.
BD8153EFV uses the current mode DC/DC converter control and has the optimized design at the coil value. A coil
inductance (L) of 4.7 µH to 15 µH is recommended from viewpoints of electric power efficiency, response, and stability.
(2) Output Capacity Settings
For the capacitor to use for the output, select the capacitor which has the larger value in the ripple voltage V
PP
allowance value and the drop voltage allowance value at the time of sudden load change. Output ripple voltage is
decided by the following equation.

Perform setting so that the voltage is within the allowable ripple voltage range.
For the drop voltage during sudden load change; V

However, 10 µs is the rough calculation value of the DC/DC response speed. Please set the capacitance considering
the sufficient margin so that these two values are within the standard value range.
(3) Selecting the Input Capacitor
Since the peak current flows between the input and output at the DC/DC converter, a capacitor is required to install at
the input side. For the reason, the low ESR capacitor is recommended as an input capacitor which has the value more
than 10 µF and less than 100 m. If a capacitor out of this range is selected, the excessive ripple voltage is superposed
on the input voltage, accordingly it may cause the malfunction of IC.
However these conditions may vary according to the load current, input voltage, output voltage, inductance and
switching frequency. Be sure to perform the margin check using the actual product.
