As an integrated circuit (IC) of a power management module (PMIC), the BU4312F-TR is chiefly used to detect the output voltage in various types of DC/DC converters. It is available in a Ultra-small 6-pin SOT36 package and is capable of allocating longer supervision window and delivering shorter response times. Thanks to its compact foot-print, the BU4312F-TR is a preferred IC for space-constraint applications. This article will look into the working principle and application field of BU4312F-TR.

Working Principle of BU4312F-TR

At the heart of BU4312F-TR is a voltage detection circuit. This circuit is used to detect whether the output voltage of a DC/DC converter is within a predetermined window. When the output voltage falls within the supervisor window, BU4312F-TR will generate an ‘Output Valid’ signal. When the output voltage climbs above the upper limit or falls below the lower limit of the window, an ‘Output Invalid’ signal will be generated. The supervisor window is programmed using two external resistors.

The detection circuit of BU4312F-TR is designed with comparators, push-pull output stage and a delayer. The delayer is used to determine the response time of the ‘Output Valid’ and ‘Output Invalid’ signals. The output duty cycle can be adjusted via the use of external capacitor and the response time can be configured by the ratio of external resistor and capacitor.

Application Field of BU4312F-TR

The BU4312F-TR is mainly used in DC/DC converters. It is most commonly used to supervise the output voltage of buck and boost converters. For example, in an average buck converter, the output voltage of the converter is set for 5V. But in certain conditions, the output voltage can drift beyond the expected window and to prevent unexpected behaviour, a voltage supervisor should be used. This is where the BU4312F-TR comes into play. It is able to detect whether the output voltage falls within the predetermined window and produce a corresponding signal for other components to take the appropriate action.

Apart from buck and boost converters, the BU4312F-TR can also be used in other DC/DC converters such as SEPIC and Ćuk converters. These converters are used in various fields such as computers, telecom and consumer electronics. All these application fields demands a reliable, low power and small sized voltage supervisor. The BU4312F-TR is able to meet these demands and is thus preferred by many professionals.

Conclusion

The BU4312F-TR is an important IC in power management module (PMIC) family. It is a specialized voltage supervisor for DC/DC converters. It is mainly used to detect the output voltage of buck and boost converters, although it can be used for other types of converters. With its small footprint and response time, it is a preferred IC for many DC/DC converter applications.
