Preliminary RT9901 Application Information The RT9901 is a four-channel DC/DC converter with one voltage detector for digital still cameras and other handheld device. The four channels DC/DC converters are as follows: CH1: Step-up, asynchronous current mode DC/DC converter with an internal power MOSFET, current limit protection and high efficiency control for wide loading range CH2: Step-down, synchronous current mode DC/DC converter with internal power MOSFETs, current limit, short-circuit , over voltage protection and high efficiency control for wide loading range. CH3: Step-down, synchronous current mode DC/DC converter with internal power MOSFETs, current limit, short-circuit protection and high efficiency control for wide loading range. CH4: Charge pump DC/DC converter. Soft-Start CH1, CH2 and CH3 can be soft-started individually every time when the channel is enabled. Soft-start is achieved by ramping up the voltage reference of each channel's input of error amplifier. Adding a capacitor on SS pin to ground sets the ramping up speed of each voltage reference. Triangle wave will be appeared on SS pin, which provides a clock base for soft-start. The soft-start timing would be setted by following formular. TSS = 10 x CSS (ms) 1nF Oscillator The internal oscillator synchronizes CH1, CH2 and CH3 PWM operation frequency. The operation frequency is set by a resistor between RT pin to ground, ranging from 550kHz to 1.4MHz. Step-up (Boost) DC/DC Converter (CH1) The step-up channel (CH1) is designed as current-mode DC/DC PWM converters with built-in internal power MOS and external Schottky diode. Output voltage is regulated and adjustable up to 5.5V. This channel typically supplies 3.3V for main system power. DS9901-12 August 2007 At light load, efficiency is enhanced by pulse-skipping mode. In this mode, the NMOS turns on by a constant pulse width. As loading increased, the converter operates at constant frequency PWM mode. The max. duty of the constant frequency is 80% for the boost to prevent high input current drawn from input. Protection Current limit The current of NMOS is sensed cycle by cycle to prevent over current. If the current is higher than 2.6A (typical), then the NMOS is off . This state is latched and then reset automatically at next clock cycle. Under Voltage The status of under voltage is decided by comparing FB1 voltage with 0.4V. This function is enabled after soft start finishes. If the FB1 voltage is less than 0.4V, then the NMOS will be turned off immediately. And this state is latched. After a dummy count period, the controller begins a re-soft-start procedure. If the status of under voltage remains after 4 successive times of soft-start, then CH1 is latched. Over Voltage The over voltage protection is used when the output of CH1 supplies the power of the main chip. If the output voltage of CH1 is over 6.5V, the main chip is shutdown and the NMOS is kept off. Step-Down (Buck) DC/DC Converter (CH2, CH3) The step-down channels (CH2, CH3) are designed as synchronous current-mode DC/DC PWM converters. Output voltage is regulated and adjustable down to 0.8V. The internal synchronous power switches eliminate the typical Schottky free wheeling diode and improve efficiency. At light load, efficiency is enhanced by pulse-skipping mode. In this mode, the high-side PMOS turns on by a constant pulse width. As loading increased, the converter operates at constant frequency PWM mode. While the input voltage is close to output voltage, the converter www.richtek.com 17 RT9901 Preliminary enters low dropout mode. Duty could be as long as 100% to extend battery life. Protection Current limit (CH2, CH3) The current of high-side PMOS is sensed cycle by cycle to prevent over current. If the current is higher than 1.5A (typical), then the high-side PMOS is off and the low-side NMOS is on. This state is latched and then reset automatically at next clock cycle. The maximum output current can be determined by Cpump and C OUT ration. This equation would describe the relationship. IMAX = 2 x (VDDC-VF) x Cpump x Fpump z VF : Schottky diode forward voltage z Fpump : Charge pump maximum frequency is 500kHz Recommand Cpump ≤ 0.1μF. The status of under voltage is decided by comparing FB2 (or FB3) voltage with 0.4V. This function is enabled after soft start finishes. If the FB2 (or FB3) voltage is less than 0.4V, then the high/low-side Power MOS are turned off immediately. And this state is latched. After a dummy count period, the CH2 (or CH3) begins a soft-start procedure. However, if the status of under voltage remains after 3 successive times of soft-start, then CH2 (or CH3) is latched. UV remain after 3 How to reset? successive soft-start CH2 CH2 is latched, and whole Toggle ENM IC is shut down CH3 CH3 is latched Toggle EN3 or ENM Over Voltage Protection (CH2) Over voltage protection (OVP) is used to protect the external parts connected to the output of CH2. If the FB2 voltage is higher than 1V, the high-side PMOS is off and low-side NMOS is on. This status is latched and could be reset by toggling ENM. VBAT VDDC Under Voltage (CH2, CH3) CX Cpump R1 CPFB GND R2 CX COUT Reference The chip has an internal 0.8V reference voltage, which is the inputs of the error amplifiers of the CH1, CH2, and CH3 to compare the difference of feedback voltage. The reference voltage can be set up stably when the supplied power (VDDM) is above 1.5V, and EN1 (or EN2, EN3) goes high. Thermal Protection Thermal protection function is integrated in the chip. When the chip temperature is higher than 178 degree C, the controllers of CH1, CH2, and CH3 are shutdown. 10 degree C is the hysteresis range of temperature to prevent unstable operation when the thermal protection happens. When the thermal protection is relieved, the chip operates well again. Charge Pump DC/DC converter This is a low quiescent charge pump DC/DC converter, which is enabled by ENM. Add a capacitor CX (~1nF) between charge pump VOUT and CPFB to speed up charge pump response time. Output ripple can be easily suppressed by increasing the capacitance ratio of COUT and Cpump. This charge pump DC/DC converter can apply to μC stanby power or the gate driver power of IGBT for photoflash, etc. www.richtek.com 18 DS9901-12 August 2007 RT9901 Preliminary Outline Dimension D2 D SEE DETAIL A L 1 E E2 e b 1 1 2 2 A A1 A3 DETAIL A Pin #1 ID and Tie Bar Mark Options Note : The configuration of the Pin #1 identifier is optional, but must be located within the zone indicated.
