effects in ceramic capacitor. Actually smaller the case-size
and higher the DC bias voltage, the bigger drop in
capacitance. For a stability viewpoint the percentage drop in
capacitance for the chosen input or output operating voltage
must be limit to 20%. Some recommended capacitors
include but are not limited to:
1.0 mF 25 V 0805
4.7 mF 6.3 V 0805
Schottky Diode Selection
The reverse voltage rating of the selected diode must be
equal to or greater than the maximum output voltage. The
average current rating of the diode must be greater than the
maximum output load current. The peak current rating must
be larger than the maximum peak inductor current. It is
recommended to use a Schottky diode with lower forward
voltage to minimize the power dissipation and therefore to
maximize the efficiency of the converter.

Timeout Protection
Flash Mode (CM high), a timeout function turn off the
output after 1.2 second. Any rising edge of CTRL reset this
function. In torch mode (CM low) this circuit is disabled. For

Overvoltage Protection (OVP)
open load condition such as a loose connection to the White
LED, the converter keeps supplying current to the C
capacitor causing the voltage to rise rapidly. To prevent the
device from being damage and to eliminate external
protections such as zener diode, the NCP5050 incorporates
an OVP circuit, which monitors the output voltage with a
resistive divider network and a comparator and voltage
reference. If the output reaches 22.5 V (nominal), the OVP
circuit will detect a fault and inhibit PWM operation. This
comparator has 1.0 V of hysteresis so allow the PWM
operation to resume automatically. when the load is
reconnected and the voltage drops below 21.5 V (nominal).
Undervoltage Lock Out (UVLO)
device has a built-in undervoltage lock out (UVLO) circuit.
During power-up, the device will remain disabled until the
input voltage exceeds 2.4 V (nominal). This circuit has
100 mV of hysteresis to provide noise immunity to transient
conditions.
Thermal Considerations

function of efficiency, input voltage and output power.
Hence, increasing the output power requires better
components selection. For example, should one change

ground plane with thermal via placed directly under the
package to spread out the heat dissipated by the device.
