DATASHEET

Low Input Voltage, High Efficiency Synchronous Boost
Converter with 1A Switch
ISL9111, ISL9111A
Features
The ISL9111 and ISL9111A provide a power supply solution
for single-cell, dual-cell, or three-cell alkaline, NiCd or NiMH
battery-powered applications. The device has a typical 0.8V
start-up voltage and is capable of supplying up to 5.25V output
voltage. Both devices are guaranteed to supply 100mA from a
single-cell input and 240mA from a dual-cell input when
output is 3.3V. High 1.2MHz switching frequency allows for the
use of tiny, low-profile inductors and ceramic capacitors to
minimize the size of the solution.
• Up to 97% Efficiency at Typical Operating Conditions
The ISL9111 and ISL9111A are internally compensated, fully
integrated synchronous boost converters optimized for
efficiency with minimal external components. At light load, the
device enters skip mode and consumes only 20µA of
quiescent current, resulting in higher efficiency at light loads
and maximum battery life.
• Low Quiescent Current: 20μA (Typical)
The ISL9111 and ISL9111A address both rechargeable and
non-rechargeable battery applications. The ISL9111 has a
UVLO feature, which will internally shut off at 0.7V protecting a
rechargeable battery. The ISL9111A has this feature disabled
to maximize the usable life of a non-rechargeable single cell
battery. The parts are available in fixed 3.0V, 3.3V and 5.0V
output voltage versions or an adjustable output voltage version
(ADJ). The fixed output voltage version also provides a FAULT
pin for fault condition monitoring. The ISL9111 and ISL9111A
are available in a 6 Ld SOT-23 package.

Detailed Description
Current Mode PWM Operation
The control scheme of the device is based on the peak current
mode control, and the control loop is compensated internally.
The peak current of the N-channel MOSFET switch is sensed to
limit the maximum current flowing through the switch and the
inductor. The typical current limit is set to 1A.
The control circuit includes ramp generator, slope compensator,
error amplifier, PWM comparator (see block diagrams on page 2
and page 3). The ramp signal is derived from the inductor
current. This ramp signal is then compared to the error amplifier
output to generate the PWM gating signals for driving both
N-channel and P-channel MOSFETs. The PWM operation is
initialized by the clock from the internal oscillator (typical
1.2MHz). The N-channel MOSFET is turned on at the beginning of
a PWM cycle, the P-channel MOSFET remains off, and the current
starts ramping up. When the sum of the ramp and the slope
compensator output reaches the error amplifier output voltage,
the PWM comparator outputs a signal to turn off the N-channel
MOSFET. Here, both MOSFETs remain off during the dead-time
interval, and then the P-channel MOSFET is turned on and
remains on until the end of this PWM cycle. During this time, the
inductor current ramps down until the next clock. At this point,
following a short dead time, the N-channel MOSFET is again
turned on, repeating as previously described.
Skip Mode Operation
The device is capable of operating in two different modes. When
the inductor current is sensed to cross zero for eight consecutive
times, the converter enters skip mode. In skip mode, each pulse
cycle is still synchronized by the PWM clock. The N-channel
MOSFET is turned on at the rising edge of the clock and turned
off when the inductor peak current reaches typically 25% of the
current limit. Then the P-channel MOSFET is turned on, and it
stays on until its current goes to zero. Subsequently, both
N-channel and P-channel MOSFETs are turned off until the next
clock cycle starts, at which time the N-channel MOSFET is turned
on again. When VOUT is 1.5% typically higher than the nominal
output voltage, the N-channel MOSFET is immediately turned off
and the P-channel MOSFET is turned on until the inductor current

goes to zero. The N-channel MOSFET resumes operation when
VFB falls back to its nominal value, repeating the previous
operation. The converter returns to 1.2MHz PWM mode
operation when VFB drops 1.5% below its nominal voltage.
Given the skip mode algorithm incorporated in the ISL9111 and
ISL9111A, the average value of the output voltage is
approximately 0.75% higher than the nominal output voltage
under PWM operation. This positive offset improves the load
transient response when switching from skip mode to PWM
mode operation. The ripple on the output voltage is typically
1.5%*VOUT(nominal) when input voltage is sufficiently lower than
output voltage, and it increases as input voltage approaches
output voltage. Figure 9 shows the ripple voltage versus input
voltage.
Synchronous Rectifier
The ISL9111 and ISL9111A integrate one N-channel MOSFET
and one P-channel MOSFET to realize synchronous boost
converters. Because the commonly used discrete Schottky
rectifier is replaced with the low rDS(ON) P-channel MOSFET, the
power conversion efficiency reaches a value above 90%. Since a
typical step-up converter has a conduction path from the input to
the output via the body diode of the P-channel MOSFET, a special
circuit (see Block Diagrams on page 2 and page 3) is used to
reverse the polarity of the P-channel body diode when the part is
shut down. This configuration completely disconnects the load
from the input during shutdown of the converter. The benefit of
this feature is that the battery will not be completely depleted
during shutdown of the converter. No additional components are
needed to disconnect the battery from the output of the
converter.
Minimum Startup and Minimum Operating
Voltage
The ISL9111 and ISL9111A address applications with
rechargeable and non-rechargeable battery cells.
1. The ISL9111 has a UVLO feature. The part can start up with a
0.8V typical input voltage and internally shut off when the
battery drops below 0.7V to protect a rechargeable battery
from over-discharge.
FN7602.4
June 4, 2012
ISL9111, ISL9111A
2. UVLO function is disabled in the ISL9111A. The minimum
start-up voltage can be as low as 0.6V, and minimum
operating voltage can be as low as 0.5V after start-up. The
advantage of minimum operating voltage maximizes the
performance of a non-rechargeable battery, allowing the
system to operate until the battery is fully depleted.
Soft-start
When the device is enabled, the start-up cycle starts with linear
phase. During linear phase, the rectifying switch is turned on in a
current limited configuration, delivering about 200mA, until the
output capacitor is charged to approximately 90% of the input
voltage. At this point, PWM begins, and thus, boost operation
starts. If the output voltage is below 2.3V, PWM switching is done
at a fixed duty-cycle of 75% until the output voltage reaches 2.3V.
When the output voltage exceeds 2.3V, the closed-loop current
mode PWM loop overrides the duty cycle until the output voltage
is regulated. Peak inductor current is ramped to the final value
(typically 1A) during the soft-start period to limit in-rush current
from the input source. Fault monitoring begins approximately
2ms after the device is enabled.
carry high switching current should be routed wide and short. A
solid power ground plane is important for EMI suppression.
The switching node (SW pin) of the converter and the traces
connected to this pin are noisy. Noise sensitive traces such as the
feedback trace should be kept away from SW pin and traces. The
voltage divider should be placed close to the feedback pin to
prevent noise pickup. Figure 6 shows the recommended EVB
layout.

VOUT
Over-temperature Protection (OTP)
The device offers over-temperature protection. A temperature
sensor circuit is integrated and monitors the internal IC
temperature. Once the temperature exceeds the preset threshold
(typically +150°C), the IC shuts down immediately. The OTP has
a typical hysteresis of +25°C. When the device temperature
decreases by this, the device starts operating.
Overvoltage Protection (OVP)
The adjustable version of the ISL9111 and ISL9111A have built
in overvoltage protection (OVP) to enhance product robustness
for transient up to 8V on SW pin. VOUT is actively monitored, and
should the voltage reach 5.9V (typical), the device will stop
switching. This turns off both power MOSFETs and the stored
inductor energy is discharged to VOUT through the body diode of
the synchronous rectifier.
Fault Monitoring and Reporting
Fault monitoring starts 2ms after start-up. Table 1 shows the
response to different detected faults. Any fault condition shown
in Table 1 causes the FAULT pin to be taken low. The FAULT pin
will not release until VIN and VOUT fully collapse or until the fault
condition is removed.
Board Layout Recommendations
The ISL9111 and ISL9111A are high frequency switching boost
converters. Accordingly, the converter creates fast voltage
changes and high switching current that may cause EMI and
stability issues if good PCB layout practices are not followed.
Although the ISL9111 and ISL9111A can tolerate short durations
of 8.0V transients, prolonged or higher amplitude excursions may
damage the device. Care should be taken to minimize the trace
inductance and reduce the area of the power loop.
Power components such as input capacitor, inductor and output
capacitor should be placed close to the device. Board traces that

Fixed Output Voltage and Adjustable Output
Voltage
ISL9111 and ISL9111A offer options for fixed output voltages of
5V, 3.3V and 3V, or an adjustable output voltage.
For fixed output voltage versions (ISL9111-5.0, ISL9111A-5.0,
ISL9111-3.3, ISL9111A-3.3, ISL9111-3.0, ISL9111A-3.0), an
internal voltage divider is used (see “Block Diagram: ISL91113.0/3.3/5.0V, ISL9111A-3.0/3.3/5.0V” on page 3). For the
adjustable output voltage version (ISL9111-ADJ, ISL9111A -ADJ),
the output voltage is programmed by connecting two external
voltage divider resistors among OUT, FB and GND (see “Block
Diagram: ISL9111-ADJ, ISL9111A-ADJ” on page 2).
Output Voltage Setting Resistor Selection
For the ISL9111 adjustable output version, the resistors, R1 and
R2, as shown in the block diagram on page 2, set the desired
output voltage values. The output voltage can be calculated using
Equation 1:
R 1⎞
⎛
V O = V FB • ⎜ 1 + -------⎟
R
⎝
2⎠
(EQ. 1)
where VFB is the internal feedback reference voltage (0.8V
typical). The current flowing through the divider resistors is
calculated as VO/(R1 + R2). Large resistance is recommended to
minimize current into the divider and thus improve the total
efficiency of the converter. R1 and R2 should be placed close to
the feedback pin of the device to prevent noise pickup.

VOUT falls below VIN.
Shut down immediately. Device automatically
restarts after 200ms.
Over-temperature Protection
Die temperature is > +150°C.
Switching stops. Device restarts when temperature
decreases to +125°C (typical).
Output Overvoltage Protection (ADJ
Version Only)
VOUT > 5.90V
Switching stops until VOUT drops 400mV below OVP
threshold.
Inductor Selection
Capacitor Selection
An inductor with core material suitable for high frequency
applications (e.g., ferrite) is desirable to minimize core loss and
improve efficiency. The inductor should have a low ESR to reduce
copper loss. Moreover, the inductor saturation current should be
higher than the maximum peak current of the part; i.e., 1.2A.
The part is designed to operate with an inductor value of 4.7µH to
provide stable operation across the range of load, input and
output voltages. Stable mode switching between PWM and skip
mode operation is guaranteed at this inductor value. Table 2
shows recommended inductors.

INPUT CAPACITOR
A minimum 4.7µF ceramic capacitor is recommended to provide
stable operation under typical operating conditions. For input
voltage less than 1.0V application, an additional 4.7µF ceramic
capacitor is recommended for better noise filtering and EMI
suppression. The input capacitor should be placed close to the
input pin, GND pin, and the non-switching terminal of the
inductor.
OUTPUT CAPACITOR
For the output capacitor, a ceramic capacitor with small ESR is
recommended to minimize output voltage ripple. A typical 4.7µF
should be used to provide stable operation at different typical
operating conditions. The output capacitor should be placed
close to the output pin and GND pin of the device. Table 3 shows
recommended capacitors.
