    Description The SC120 is a high e iciency, low noise, synchronousstep-up DC-DC converter that provides boosted voltagelevels in low-voltage handheld applications. The wideinput voltage range allows use in systems with singleNiMH or alkaline battery cells as well as in systems withhigher voltage battery supplies. It eatures an internal1.2A switch and synchronous rectifer to achieve up to94% e ciency and to eliminate the need or an externalSchottky diode. The output voltage can be set to 3.3Vwith internal eedback, or to any voltage within the speci-fed range using a standard resistor divider.

    The SC120 operates in Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)mode or moderate to high loads and Power Save Mode(PSAVE) or improved e ciency under light load condi-tions. It eatures anti-ringing circuitry or reduced EMI innoise sensitive applications. Output disconnect capabilityis included to reduce leakage current, improve e ciency,and eliminate external components sometimes needed todisconnect the load rom the supply during shutdown.

    Low quiescent current is obtained despite a high 1.2MHzoperating requency. Small external components and thespace saving MLPD-UT-6, 1.52.00.6 (mm) package, orlow cost SOT23-6 package, make this device an excellentchoice or small handheld applications that require thelongest possible battery li e.

    Detailed Description The SC120 is a synchronous step-up Pulse WidthModulated (PWM) DC-DC converter utilizing a 1.2MHz

    fxed requency current mode architecture. It is designedto provide output voltages in the range 1.8V to 5.0V roman input voltage as low as 0.7V, with a (output unloaded)start up input voltage o 0.85V.

    The device operates in two modes: PWM and automaticPSAVE mode. In PWM operation, the devices uses pulsewidth modulation control to regulate the output undermoderate to heavy load conditions. It switches to PSAVEmode when lightly loaded. Quiescent current consump-tion is as little as 50 A, into the OUT pin, when in PSAVE

    mode.

    The regulator control circuitry is shown in the Block Diagram. It is comprised o a programmable eedback controller, an internal 1.2MHz oscillator, an n-channel Field E ect Transistor (FET) between the LX andGND pins, and a p-channel FET between the LX and OUTpins. The current owing through both FETs is monitoredand limited as required or startup, PWM operation, andPSAVE operation. An external inductor must be connectedbetween the IN pin and the LX pin. When the n-channel

    FET is turned on, the LX pin is internally grounded, con-necting the inductor between IN and GND. This is calledthe on-state. During the on-state, inductor current ows

    to ground and is increasing. When the n-channel FET isturned o and the p-channel FET is turned on (known asthe o -state), the inductor is then connected between IN

    and OUT. The (now decreasing) inductor current owsrom the input to the output, boosting the output voltage

    above the input voltage.

    Output Voltage Selection The SC120 output voltage can be programmed to aninternally preset value or it can be programmed withexternal resistors. The output is internally programmedto 3.3V when the FB pin is connected to GND. Any outputvoltage in the range 1.8V to 5.0V can be programmedwith a resistor voltage divider between OUT and the FB

    pin as shown in Figure 1.

    The values o the resistors in the voltage divider network are chosen to satis y the equation

    A large value o R2, ideally 590k or larger, is pre erred orstability or VIN within approximately 400mV o V OUT. Forlower V

    IN, lower resistor values can be used. The values o

    R1 and R 2 can be as large as desired to achieve low quies-cent current.

    Applications In ormation (continued)PWM Operation The PWM cycle runs at a fxed requency ( osc = 1.2MHz),with a variable duty cycle (D). PWM operation continually

    draws current rom the input supply (except or discon-tinuous mode, described subsequently). During the on-state o the PWM cycle, the n-channel FET is turned on,grounding the inductor at the LX pin. This causes thecurrent owing rom the input supply through the induc-tor to ground to ramp up. During the o -state, the n-channel FET is turned o and the p-channel FET(synchronous recti ier) is turned on. This causes theinductor current to ow rom the input supply throughthe inductor into the output capacitor and load, boostingthe output voltage above the input voltage. The cycle

    then repeats to re-energize the inductor.

    Ideally, the steady state (constant load) duty cycle isdetermined by D = 1 (V IN /VOUT), but must be greater inpractice to overcome dissipative losses. The SC120 PWMcontroller constrains the value o D such that 0.15 < D < 0.90(approximately).

    The average inductor current during the o -state multi-plied by (1-D) is equal to the average load current. Theinductor current is alternately ramping up (on-state) and

    down (o -state) at a rate and amplitude determined bythe inductance value, the input voltage, and the on-time(TON = DT, T = 1/ OSC). There ore, the instantaneous induc-tor current will be alternately larger and smaller than theaverage. I the average output current is su ciently small,the minimum inductor current can reach zero during theo -state. I the energy stored in the inductor is depleted(the inductor current decreases to zero) during the o -state, both FETs turn o or the remainder o the o -state.I this discontinuous mode (DM) operation persists, theSC120 transitions to PSAVE operation.

    PSAVE OperationAt light loads, the SC120 will operate in PSAVE mode. Atlow output load, PSAVE mode will operate more e cientlythan PWM mode. PSAVE mode also ensures regulationwhile the output load is too small to keep the PWM modeduty cycle above its minimum value, especially when V IN is close to V OUT. PSAVE operation is triggered by 256 con-secutive cycles o DM operation in PWM mode, when the

    output o the P LIMamplifer alls to 0V during the o -statedue to low load current.

    PSAVE mode requires ewer circuit resources than PWMmode. All unused circuitry is disabled to reduce quies-cent power dissipation. In PSAVE mode, the OUT pinvoltage monitoring circuit remains active and the outputvoltage error amplifer operates as a comparator. PSAVEregulation is shown in Figure 2. When V OUT < 1.008xVREG,where V REG is the programmed output voltage, a burst o fxed-period switching occurs to boost the output voltage. The n-channel FET turns on (on-state) until the inductorcurrent rises to approximately 240mA. The n-channel FETthen turns o and the p-channel FET turns on to trans er

    the inductor energy to the output capacitor and load orthe duration o the o -state. This cycle repeats untilVOUT > 1.018V REG, at which point both FETs are turned o . The output capacitor then discharges into the load untilVOUT < 1.008V REG, and the burst cycle repeats.

    When the output current increases above a predeter-mined level, either o two PSAVE exit conditions will orcethe resumption o PWM operation. The frst PSAVE exitcriterion is shown in Figure 2. I the PSAVE burst cyclecannot provide su icient current to the output, the

    output voltage will decrease during the burst. I VOUT< 0.98 VREG, PWM operation will resume. The secondPSAVE exit criterion, illustrated in Figure 3, depends onthe rate o discharge o the output capacitor betweenPSAVE bursts. I the time between bursts is less than 5 s,then PWM operation resumes. The output capacitancevalue will a ect the second criterion, but not the frst.Reducing the output capacitor will reduce the outputload at which PSAVE mode exits to PWM mode.

    Within each on/o cycle o a PSAVE burst, the rate o

    decrease o the inductor current during the o -state isproportional to (V OUT VIN). I VIN is su ciently close toVOUT, the decrease in current during the o -state may notovercome the increase in current during the minimumon-time o the on-state, approximately 100ns. This canresult in the peak inductor current rising above the PSAVEmode n-channel FET current limit. (Normally, when then-channel FET current limit is reached, the on-state endsimmediately and the o -state begins. This sets the dutycycle on a cycle-by-cycle basis.) This inductor current rise

    accumulates with each successive cycle in the burst. Theresult is that the output load current that can be sup-ported in PSAVE under this high V IN condition will be

    greater than occurs i the 240mA current limit can been orced. There ore the PSAVE exit load due to the frstexit criterion (Figure 2) can increase signi icantly. Thisphenomenon is advantageous. Reverting to PWM opera-tion with high V IN can result in V OUT rising above V REG, dueto the PWM minimum duty cycle. PSAVE operation avoidsthis voltage rise because o its hysteretic voltage-thresh-old on/o control. I the load remains low enough toremain in PSAVE, VIN can approach and even slightlyexceed V OUT. To initally enter PSAVE mode, the initialstartup load must be small enough to cause discontinu-

    ous mode PWM operation. This PSAVE mode startup loadupper limit can be increased i needed by reducing theinductance. (Re er to the Inductor Selection section.)Su ciently large output capacitance will prevent PSAVEexit due to the second exit criterion (Figure 3).

    PSAVE VOUT ripple may increase due to parasitic capaci-tance on the external FB pin network. I using external

    eedback programming, it is prudent to add a small capaci-tor between OUT and FB to the circuit board layout. Whenoperating the SC120 in the fnal confguration in PSAVE,

    observe the amplitude o PSAVE ripple. I the rippleexceeds 50mV or the expected range o input voltage, asmall-value capacitor should be tried. Capacitance on theorder o a ew pico arads is o ten su cient to bring theripple amplitude to approximately 50mV.

    In the case o low V IN and high V OUT, larger values o CFBmay be needed, perhaps 4.7pF or higher. I using theSOT23-6 package (SC120SKTRT) with low V IN and high V OUT,at least 10pF to 12pF is recommended.

    The Enable Pin The EN pin is a high impedance logical input that can beused to enable or disable the SC120 under processorcontrol. V EN < 0.2V will disable regulation, set the LX pin ina high-impedance state (turn o both FET switches), andturn on an active discharge device to discharge the outputcapacitor via the OUT pin. V EN > 0.85V will enable theoutput. The startup sequence rom the EN pin is identicalto the startup sequence rom the application o inputpower.

    Regulator Startup, Short Circuit Protection, andCurrent Limits The SC120 permits power up at input voltages rom 0.85V

    to 4.5V. Startup current limiting o the internal switchingn-channel and p-channel FET power devices protectsthem rom damage in the event o a short between OUTand GND. As the output voltage rises, progressively less-restrictive current limits are applied. This protectionunavoidably prevents startup into an excessive load.

    To begin, the p-channel FET between the LX and OUT pinsturns on with its current limited to approximately 150mA,the short-circuit output current. When V OUTapproaches V IN(but is still below 1.7V), the n-channel current limit is set

    to 350mA (the p-channel limit is disabled), the internaloscillator turns on (approximately 200kHz), and a fxed75% duty cycle PWM operation begins. (See the sectionPWM Operation.) When the output voltage exceeds 1.7V,

    ixed requency PWM operation begins, with the dutycycle determined by an n-channel FET peak current limito 350mA. When this n-channel FET startup current limitis exceeded, the on-state ends immediately and the o -state begins. This determines the duty cycle on a cycle-by-cycle basis. When V OUT is within 2% o the programmedregulation voltage, the n-channel FET current limit is

    raised to 1.2A, and normal voltage regulation PWM controlbegins.

    Once normal voltage regulation PWM control is initiated,the output becomes independent o V IN and output regu-lation can be maintained or V IN as low as 0.7V, subject tothe maximum duty cycle and peak current limits. The dutycycle must remain between 15% and 90% or the deviceto operate within specifcation.

    Note that startup with a regulated active load is not the

    same as startup with a resistive load. The resistive loadoutput current increases proportionately as the outputvoltage rises until it reaches programmed V OUT /RLOAD, whilea regulated active load presents a constant load as theoutput voltage rises rom 0V to programmed V OUT. Notealso that i the load applied to the output exceeds anapplicable V OUT dependent startup current limit or dutycycle limit, the criterion to advance to the next startupstage may not be achieved. In this situation startup may

    pause at a reduced output voltage until the load is reducedurther.

    Output Overload and RecoveryWhen in PSAVE operation, an increasing load will eventu-ally satis y one o the PSAVE exit criteria and regulationwill revert to PWM operation. As previously noted, thePWM steady state duty cycle is determined byD = 1 (VIN /VOUT), but must be somewhat greater in prac-tice to overcome dissipative losses. As the output loadincreases, the dissipative losses also increase. The PWMcontroller must increase the duty cycle to compensate.Eventually, one o two overload conditions will occur,determined by V IN, VOUT, and the overall dissipative losses

    due to the output load current. Either the maximum dutycycle o 90% will be reached or the n-channel FET 1.2A(nominal) peak current limit will be reached, which e ec-tively limits the duty cycle to a lower value. Above thatload, the output voltage will decrease rapidly and inreverse order the startup current limits will be invoked asthe output voltage alls through its various voltage thresh-olds. How ar the output voltage drops depends on theload voltage vs. current characteristic.

    A reduction in input voltage, such as a discharging battery,

    will lower the load current at which overload occurs.Lower input voltage increases the duty cycle required toproduce a given output voltage. And lower input voltagealso increases the input current to maintain the inputpower, which increases dissipative losses and urtherincreases the required duty cycle. There ore an increase inload current or a decrease in input voltage can result inoutput overload. Once an overload has occurred, the loadmust be decreased to permit recovery. The conditionsrequired or overload recovery are identical to thoserequired or success ul initial startup.

    Anti-ringing CircuitryIn PWM operation, the n-channel and p-channel FETs aresimultaneously turned o when the inductor currentreaches zero. They remain o or the zero-inductor-current portion o the o -state. Note that discontinuousmode is a marginal-load condition, which i persistent willtrigger a transition to PSAVE operation.

    When both FET switches are simultaneously turned o , aninternal switch between the IN and LX pins is closed, pro-

    viding a moderate resistance path across the inductor todampen the oscillations at the LX pin. This e ectivelyreduces EMI that can develop rom the resonant circuit

    ormed by the inductor and the drain capacitance at LX.

    The anti-ringing circuitry is disabled between PSAVEbursts.

    Component Selection The SC120 provides optimum per ormance when a 4.7 Hinductor is used with a 10 F output capacitor. Di erentcomponent values can be used to modi y PSAVE exit orentry loads, modi y output voltage ripple in PWM mode,improve transient response, or to reduce component size

    or cost.

    Inductor Selection The inductance value primarily a ects the amplitude o inductor current ripple ( IL). Reducing inductanceincreases IL. This raises the inductor peak current,IL-max = IL-avg + IL /2, where I L-avg is the inductor current aver-aged over a ull on/o cycle. IL-max is subject to then-channel FET current limit I LIM(N), there ore reducing theinductance may lower the output overload current thresh-old. Increasing IL also lowers the inductor minimum

    current, I L-min = IL-avg IL /2, thus raising the PSAVE entryload current threshold. This is the output load belowwhich I L-min = 0, the boundary between continuous modeand discontinuous mode PWM regulation, which signalsthe SC120 controller to switch to PSAVE operation. In theextreme case o V IN approaching V OUT, smaller inductancecan also reduce the PSAVE inductor burst-envelope currentripple and voltage ripple.

    require an unusually high output load current. In thiscase, PSAVE re-entry may be o little concern. So i thelargest V IN exceeds approximately 90% o V OUT, insteadevaluate PSAVE entry at V IN = 0.9VOUT.

    To ensure that I PSAVE-entry-max will be less than the PSAVE exitcurrent, evaluate the PSAVE-PWM mode transistions whileapplying increasing and decreasing loads with V IN at andabove 2 /3 VOUT. This should be done at the applicationslowest specifed ambient temperature as well as at roomtemperature. I the PSAVE exit current is not su ciently

    greater than the PSAVE entry current, the separation canbe enhanced by increasing the output capacitance to raiseIPSAVE-exit due to the 5 s o -time criterion (see Figure 3), orby increasing the inductor value to reduce I PSAVE-entry.

    The inductor selection should also consider the n-channelFET current limit or the expected range o input voltageand output load current. The largest I L-avg will occur at theexpected smallest V IN and largest I OUT. Determine thelargest allowable IL, based on the largest expected I L-avgthe minimum n-channel FET current limit, and the

    For very low V IN (0.7V to 0.8V) such as is obtained with a

    nearly-depleted single-cell alkaline battery), a smallervalue o inductance will help to ensure that PWM modewill switch to PSAVE mode as the load decreases.

    Capacitor SelectionInput and output capacitors must be chosen care ully toensure that they are o the correct value and rating. Theoutput capacitor requires a minimum capacitance valueo 10 F at the programmed output voltage to ensure sta-bility over the ull operating range, and to ensure positivemode-switching hysteresis. The DC bias must be includedin capacitor derating to ensure the required e ectivecapacitance is provided, especially when consideringsmall package-size capacitors. For example, a 10 F 0805capacitor may provide su cient capacitance at low outputvoltages but may be too low at higher output voltages. There ore, a higher capacitance value may be required toprovide the minimum o 10 F at these higher output volt-ages. Additional output capacitance may be required orVIN close to V OUT to reduce ripple in PSAVE mode, to increasethe PSAVE exit threshold or high V IN, and to ensure stabil-ity in PWM mode, especially at higher output loadcurrents.

    at the switching requency o the SC120. Ceramic capaci-tors o type Y5V are not recommended as their tempera-ture coe cients and large capacitance tolerance make

    them unsuitable or this application. The ollowing tablelists recommended capacitors. For smaller values andsmaller packages, it may be necessary to use multipledevices in parallel, especially or C OUT.

    PCB Layout ConsiderationsPoor layout can degrade the per ormance o the DC-DCconverter and can contribute to EMI problems, groundbounce, and resistive voltage losses. Poor regulation andinstability can result.

    The ollowing simple design rules can be implemented toensure good layout:

    Place the inductor and flter capacitors as closeto the device as possible and use short widetraces between the power components.Route the output voltage eedback path away

    rom the inductor and LX node to minimizenoise and magnetic inter erence.Maximize ground metal on the component sideto improve the return connection and thermal

    dissipation. Separation between the LX nodeand GND should be maintained to avoid cou-pling capacitance between the LX node and theground plane.Use a ground plane with several vias connectingto the component side ground to urther reducenoise inter erence on sensitive circuit nodes.

    A layout drawing or the MLP package is shown in Figure 4and a layout drawing or the SOT23 package is shown inFigure 5.
