NCP1422
800 mA Sync−Rect PFM
Step−Up DC−DC Converter
with True−Cutoff and
Ring−Killer
NCP1422 is a monolithic micropower high−frequency step−up
switching converter IC specially designed for battery−operated
hand−held electronic products up to 800 mA loading. It integrates
Sync−Rect to improve efficiency and to eliminate the external
Schottky Diode. High switching frequency (up to 1.2 MHz) allows
for a low profile, small−sized inductor and output capacitor to be
used. When the device is disabled, the internal conduction path from
LX or BAT to OUT is fully blocked and the OUT pin is isolated from
the battery. This True−Cutoff function reduces the shutdown current
to typically only 50 nA. Ring−Killer is also integrated to eliminate
the high−frequency ringing in discontinuous conduction mode. In
addition to the above, Low−Battery Detector, Logic−Controlled
Shutdown, Cycle−by−Cycle Current Limit and Thermal Shutdown
provide value−added features for various battery−operated
applications. With all these functions on, the quiescent supply
current is typically only 8.5 A. This device is available in the
compact and low profile DFN−10 package.

DETAILED OPERATION DESCRIPTION
PFM Regulation Scheme
NCP1422 is a monolithic micropower high−frequency
step−up voltage switching converter IC specially designed
for battery operated hand−held electronic products up to
800 mA loading. It integrates a Synchronous Rectifier to
improve efficiency as well as to eliminate the external
Schottky diode. High switching frequency (up to 1.2 MHz)
allows for a low profile inductor and output capacitor to be
used. Low−Battery Detector, Logic−Controlled Shutdown,
and Cycle−by−Cycle Current Limit provide value−added
features for various battery−operated applications. With all
these functions ON, the quiescent supply current is
typically only 8.5 A. This device is available in a compact
DFN−10 package.
From the simplified functional diagram (Figure 1), the
output voltage is divided down and fed back to pin 1 (FB).
This voltage goes to the non−inverting input of the PFM
comparator whereas the comparator’s inverting input is
connected to the internal voltage reference, REF. A
switching cycle is initiated by the falling edge of the
comparator, at the moment the main switch (M1) is turned
ON. After the maximum ON−time (typically 0.72 S)
elapses or the current limit is reached, M1 is turned OFF
and the synchronous switch (M2) is turned ON. The M1
OFF time is not less than the minimum OFF−time
(typically 0.12 S), which ensures complete energy

NCP1422
transfer from the inductor to the output capacitor. If the
regulator is operating in continuous conduction mode
(CCM), M2 is turned OFF just before M1 is supposed to be
ON again. If the regulator is operating in discontinuous
conduction mode (DCM), which means the coil current
will decrease to zero before the new cycle starts, M1 is
turned OFF as the coil current is almost reaching zero. The
comparator (ZLC) with fixed offset is dedicated to sense
the voltage drop across M2 as it is conducting; when the
voltage drop is below the offset, the ZLC comparator
output goes HIGH and M2 is turned OFF. Negative
feedback of closed−loop operation regulates voltage at
pin1 (FB) equal to the internal reference voltage (1.20 V).
Cycle−by−Cycle Current Limit
Synchronous Rectification
The voltage at REF is typically set at 1.20 V and can
output up to 2.5 mA with load regulation ±2% at VOUT
equal to 3.3 V. If VOUT is increased, the REF load
capability can also be increased. A bypass capacitor of
200 nF is required for proper operation when REF is not
loaded. If REF is loaded, a 1.0 F capacitor at the REF pin
is needed.
In Figure 1, a SENSEFET is used to sample the coil
current as M1 is ON. With that sample current flowing
through a sense resistor, a sense−voltage is developed. The
threshold detector (ILIM) detects whether the
sense−voltage is higher than the preset level. If the sense
voltage is higher than the present level, the detector output
notifies the Control Logic to switch OFF M1, and M1 can
only be switched ON when the next cycle starts after the
minimum OFF−time (typically 0.12 S). With proper
sizing of the SENSEFET and sense resistor, the peak coil
current limit is typically set at 1.5 A.
Voltage Reference
The Synchronous Rectifier is used to replace the
Schottky Diode to reduce the conduction loss contributed
by the forward voltage of the Schottky Diode. The
Synchronous Rectifier is normally realized by powerFET
with gate control circuitry that incorporates relatively
complicated timing concerns.
As the main switch (M1) is being turned OFF and the
synchronous switch M2 is just turned ON with M1 not
being completely turned OFF, current is shunt from the
output bulk capacitor through M2 and M1 to ground. This
power loss lowers overall efficiency and possibly damages
the switching FETs. As a general practice, a certain amount
of dead time is introduced to make sure M1 is completely
turned OFF before M2 is turned ON.
The previously mentioned situation occurs when the
regulator is operating in CCM, M2 is turned OFF, M1 is just
turned ON, and M2 is not completely turned OFF. A dead
time is also needed to make sure M2 is completely turned
OFF before M1 is turned ON.
As coil current is dropped to zero when the regulator is
operating in DCM, M2 should be OFF. If this does not
occur, the reverse current flows from the output bulk
capacitor through M2 and the inductor to the battery input,
causing damage to the battery. The ZLC comparator comes
with fixed offset voltage to switch M2 OFF before any
reverse current builds up. However, if M2 is switched OFF
too early, large residue coil current flows through the body
diode of M2 and increases conduction loss. Therefore,
determination of the offset voltage is essential for optimum
performance. With the implementation of the synchronous
rectification scheme, efficiency can be as high as 94% with
this device.
True−Cutoff
The NCP1422 has a True−Cutoff function controlled by
the multi−function pin LBI/EN (pin 2). Internal circuitry
can isolate the current through the body diode of switch M2
to load. Thus, it can eliminate leakage current from the
battery to load in shutdown mode and significantly reduce
battery current consumption during shutdown. The
shutdown function is controlled by the voltage at pin 2
(LBI/EN). When pin 2 is pulled to lower than 0.3 V, the
controller enters shutdown mode. In shutdown mode, when
switches M1 and M2 are both switched OFF, the internal
reference voltage of the controller is disabled and the
controller typically consumes only 50 nA of current. If the
pin 2 voltage is raised to higher than 0.5 V (for example, by
a resistor connected to VIN), the IC is enabled again, and the
internal circuit typically consumes 8.5 A of current from
the OUT pin during normal operation.
Low−Battery Detection
A comparator with 30 mV hysteresis is applied to
perform the low−battery detection function. When pin 2
(LBI/EN) is at a voltage (defined by a resistor divider from
the battery voltage) lower than the internal reference
voltage of 1.20 V, the comparator output turns on a 50 low side switch. It pulls down the voltage at pin 3 (LBO)
which has hundreds of k of pull−high resistance. If the
pin 2 voltage is higher than 1.20 V + 30 mV, the comparator
output turns off the 50 low side switch. When this occurs,
pin 3 becomes high impedance and its voltage is pulled
high again.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Output Voltage Setting
voltage/current waveforms. The currents flowing into and
out of the capacitors multiply with the Equivalent Series
Resistance (ESR) of the capacitor to produce ripple voltage
at the terminals. During the Syn−Rect switch−off cycle, the
charges stored in the output capacitor are used to sustain the
output load current. Load current at this period and the ESR
combine and reflect as ripple at the output terminals. For
all cases, the lower the capacitor ESR, the lower the ripple
voltage at output. As a general guideline, low ESR
capacitors should be used. Ceramic capacitors have the
lowest ESR, but low ESR tantalum capacitors can also be
used as an alternative.
A typical application circuit is shown in Figure 23. The
output voltage of the converter is determined by the
external feedback network comprised of R1 and R2. The
relationship is given by:
VOUT 1.20 V 1 R1
R2
where R1 and R2 are the upper and lower feedback
resistors, respectively.
Low Battery Detect Level Setting
The Low Battery Detect Voltage of the converter is
determined by the external divider network that is
comprised of R3 and R4. The relationship is given by:
VLB 1.20 V 1 R3

PCB Layout Recommendations
Good PCB layout plays an important role in switching
mode power conversion. Careful PCB layout can help to
minimize ground bounce, EMI noise, and unwanted
feedback that can affect the performance of the converter.
Hints suggested below can be used as a guideline in most
situations.
where R3 and R4 are the upper and lower divider resistors
respectively.
Inductor Selection
Grounding
The NCP1422 is tested to produce optimum performance
with a 5.6 H inductor at VIN = 2.5 V and VOUT = 3.3 V,
supplying an output current up to 800 mA. For other
input/output requirements, inductance in the range 3 H to
10 H can be used according to end application
specifications. Selecting an inductor is a compromise
between output current capability, inductor saturation
limit, and tolerable output voltage ripple. Low inductance
values can supply higher output current but also increase
the ripple at output and reduce efficiency. On the other
hand, high inductance values can improve output ripple
and efficiency; however, it is also limited to the output
current capability at the same time.
Another parameter of the inductor is its DC resistance.
This resistance can introduce unwanted power loss and
reduce overall efficiency. The basic rule is to select an
inductor with the lowest DC resistance within the board
space limitation of the end application. In order to help with
the inductor selection, reference charts are shown in
Figures 24 and 25.
A star−ground connection should be used to connect the
output power return ground, the input power return ground,
and the device power ground together at one point. All
high−current paths must be as short as possible and thick
enough to allow current to flow through and produce
insignificant voltage drop along the path. The feedback
signal path must be separated from the main current path
and sense directly at the anode of the output capacitor.
Components Placement
Power components (i.e., input capacitor, inductor and
output capacitor) must be placed as close together as
possible. All connecting traces must be short, direct, and
thick. High current flowing and switching paths must be
kept away from the feedback (FB, pin 1) terminal to avoid
unwanted injection of noise into the feedback path.
Feedback Network
Feedback of the output voltage must be a separate trace
detached from the power path. The external feedback
network must be placed very close to the feedback (FB,
pin 1) pin and sense the output voltage directly at the anode
of the output capacitor.
Capacitors Selection
In all switching mode boost converter applications, both
the input and output terminals see impulsive

GENERAL DESIGN PROCEDURES
Switching mode converter design is considered a
complicated process. Selecting the right inductor and
capacitor values can allow the converter to provide
optimum performance. The following is a simple method
based on the basic first−order equations to estimate the
inductor and capacitor values for NCP1422 to operate in
Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM). The set component
values can be used as a starting point to fine tune the
application circuit performance. Detailed bench testing is
still necessary to get the best performance out of the circuit.
Design Parameters:
VIN = 1.8 V to 3.0 V, Typical 2.4 V
VOUT = 3.3 V
IOUT = 500 mA
VLB = 2.0 V
VOUT−RIPPLE = 40 mVp−p at IOUT = 500 mA
Determine the Steady State Duty Ratio, D, for typical
VIN. The operation is optimized around this point:

NCP1422
From the previous calculations, you need at least 18.75
F in order to achieve the specified ripple level at the
conditions stated. Practically, a capacitor that is one level
larger is used to accommodate factors not taken into
account in the calculations. Therefore, a capacitor value of
22 F is selected. The NCP1422 is internally compensated
for most applications, but in case additional compensation
is required, the capacitor C4 can be used as external
compensation adjustment to improve system dynamics.
In order to provide an easy way for customers to select
external parts for NCP1422 in different input voltage and
output current conditions, values of inductance and
capacitance are suggested in Figures 24, 25 and 26.
