The XC9140 series is a synchronous rectification type step-up DC/DC converter.
The combination of PFM control and a CMOS structure achieves a low supply current,
making these converters ideal for portable devices where battery life is a concern.
Product startup is possible from an input voltage VIN=0.9V when the load current is 1mA
and the output voltage is 3.3V, enabling these ICs to be used in devices that use one alkaline
battery or one nickel-hydrogen battery. Two types are available: one that breaks continuity
between the input and output using the load break function at shutdown, and one that maintains continuity between the input and output using the bypass mode function at shutdown.

Synchronous rectification improves efficiency
The XC9140 series uses the synchronous rectification control
method to reduce energy loss and improve efficiency
compared to the previous XC9110 series.

Improved load transient response characteristics
The XC9140 series improves the load transient response to
limit output voltage drops when the load current fluctuates.
In addition, current control is used to control the coil current,
enabling improvement of ripple voltage.

The switching frequency is 1.2MHz, making it possible to use a small
coil and ceramic capacitors. This enables mounting on an area that
is approximately 74% smaller than previous products.

Bypass mode function
Even when the step-up IC is not operating, the real-time clock (RTC) of the microcontroller in healthcare and other devices
operates, and thus power must be supplied from a battery. To handle these types of applications, the bypass mode function
is available in the XC9140 series as an option.
In previous step-up DC/DC controllers (refer to Fig.1), the output voltage is lower than the input voltage by the amount of
the forward voltage (VF) of the Schottky diode (SBD), resulting in lower efficiency. In bypass mode of the XC9140 series
(refer to Fig.2), the output voltage is only lower than the input voltage by the amount due to the Pch driver ON-resistance
(about 0.65Ω), the DC resistance component of the coil, and the load current, resulting in improved efficiency as shown in
Fig.3. This is ideal for application devices where battery life is a concern. Bypass mode operates at shutdown in the C type.
