The MCP1640/B/C/D is a compact, high-efficiency,
fixed frequency, synchronous step-up DC-DC converter. It provides an easy-to-use power supply solution
for applications powered by either single-cell, two-cell,
or three-cell alkaline, NiCd, NiMH, and single-cell Li-Ion
or Li-Polymer batteries.
Low-voltage technology allows the regulator to start-up
without high inrush current or output voltage overshoot
from a low 0.65V input. High efficiency is accomplished
by integrating the low resistance N-Channel Boost
switch and synchronous P-Channel switch. All
compensation and protection circuitry is integrated to
minimize the number of external components. For
standby applications, the MCP1640 consumes only
19 µA while operating at no load, and provides a true
disconnect from input to output while in Shutdown
(EN = GND). Additional device options are available by
operating in PWM-Only mode and connecting input to
output while the device is in Shutdown.
The “true” load disconnect mode provides input-to-output isolation while the device is disabled by removing
the normal boost regulator diode path from input-tooutput. The Input-to-Output Bypass mode option connects the input to the output using the integrated low
resistance P-Channel MOSFET, which provides a low
bias voltage for circuits operating in Deep Sleep mode.
Both options consume less than 1 µA of input current.
Output voltage is set by a small external resistor
divider. Two package options are available, 6-Lead
SOT-23 and 8-Lead 2 x 3 mm DFN.

Output Voltage Pin
Feedback Voltage Pin (VFB)
The VFB pin is used to provide output voltage regulation
by using a resistor divider. Feedback voltage will be
1.21V typical with the output voltage in regulation.
3.2
Signal Ground Pin (SGND)
The signal ground pin is used as a return for the
integrated VREF and error amplifier. In the 2x3 DFN
package, the SGND and power ground (PGND) pins are
connected externally.
3.3
Power Ground Pin (PGND)
The power ground pin is used as a return for the
high-current N-Channel switch. In the 2x3 DFN
package, the PGND and SGND pins are connected
externally.
3.4
Enable Pin (EN)
The EN pin is a logic-level input used to enable or
disable device switching and lower quiescent current
while disabled. A logic high (>90% of VIN) will enable
the regulator output. A logic low (<20% of VIN) will
ensure that the regulator is disabled.
3.5
Switch Node Pin (SW)
Connect the inductor from the input voltage to the SW
pin. The SW pin carries inductor current and can be as
high as 800 mA peak. The integrated N-Channel switch
drain and integrated P-Channel switch source are
internally connected at the SW node.
 2010-2015 Microchip Technology Inc.
3.6
Output Voltage Power Pin (VOUTP)
The output voltage power pin connects the output

The ground or return pin is used for circuit ground
connection. Length of trace from input cap return,

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
4.1
Device Option Overview
The MCP1640/B/C/D family of devices is capable of
low start-up voltage and delivers high efficiency over a
wide load range for single-cell, two-cell, or three-cell
alkaline, NiCd, NiMH and single-cell Li-Ion battery
inputs. A high level of integration lowers total system
cost, eases implementation and reduces board area.
The devices feature low start-up voltage, adjustable
output voltage, PWM/PFM mode operation, low IQ,
integrated synchronous switch, internal compensation,
low noise anti-ring control, inrush current limit, and soft
start.
There are two options for the MCP1640/B/C/D family:
• PWM/PFM mode or PWM-Only mode
• “True Output Disconnect” mode or Input-to-Output
Bypass mode
4.1.1
PWM/PFM MODE OPTION
The MCP1640/C devices use an automatic switchover
from PWM to PFM mode for light load conditions to
maximize efficiency over a wide range of output
current. During PFM mode, higher peak current is used
to pump the output up to the threshold limit. While
operating in PFM or PWM mode, the P-Channel switch
is used as a synchronous rectifier, turning off when the
inductor current reaches 0 mA to maximize efficiency.
In PFM mode, a comparator is used to terminate
switching when the output voltage reaches the upper
threshold limit. Once switching has terminated, the
output voltage will decay or coast down. During this
period, very low IQ is consumed from the device and
input source, which keeps power efficiency high at light
load.
The disadvantages of PWM/PFM mode are higher output ripple voltage and variable PFM mode frequency.
The PFM mode frequency is a function of input voltage,
output voltage and load. While in PFM mode, the boost
converter pumps the output up at a switching frequency
of 500 kHz.
4.1.2
PWM-ONLY MODE OPTION
For noise immunity, the N-Channel MOSFET current
sense is blanked for approximately 100 ns. With a typical minimum duty cycle of 100 ns, the MCP1640B/D
continues to switch at a constant frequency under light
load conditions. Figure 2-12 represents the input voltage versus load current for the pulse skipping threshold
in PWM-Only mode. At lighter loads, the MCP1640B/D
devices begin to skip pulses.
4.1.3
TRUE OUTPUT DISCONNECT
MODE OPTION
The MCP1640/B devices incorporate a true output
disconnect feature. With the EN pin pulled low, the
output of the MCP1640/B is isolated or disconnected
from the input by turning off the integrated P-Channel
switch and removing the switch bulk diode connection.
This removes the DC path that is typical in boost converters, which allows the output to be disconnected
from the input. During this mode, less than 1 µA of current is consumed from the input (battery). True output
disconnect does not discharge the output; the output
voltage is held up by the external COUT capacitance.
4.1.4
INPUT BYPASS MODE OPTION
The MCP1640C/D devices incorporate the Input
Bypass shutdown option. With the EN input pulled low,
the output is connected to the input using the internal
P-Channel MOSFET. In this mode, the current draw
from the input (battery) is less than 1 µA with no load.
Input Bypass mode is used when the input voltage
range is high enough for the load to operate in Sleep or
Low IQ mode. When a higher regulated output voltage
is necessary to operate the application, the EN input is
pulled high, enabling the boost converter.

The MCP1640B/D devices disable PFM mode
switching, and operate only in PWM mode over the
entire load range. During periods of light load operation, the MCP1640B/D continues to operate at a constant 500 kHz switching frequency, keeping the output
ripple voltage lower than PFM mode.
During PWM-Only mode, the MCP1640B/D P-Channel
switch acts as a synchronous rectifier by turning off (to
prevent reverse current flow from the output cap back
to the input) in order to keep efficiency high.

MCP1640/B/C/D Block Diagram.
LOW-VOLTAGE START-UP
The MCP1640/B/C/D is capable of starting from a low
input voltage. Start-up voltage is typically 0.65V for a
3.3V output and 1 mA resistive load.
When enabled, the internal start-up logic turns the
rectifying P-Channel switch on until the output
capacitor is charged to a value close to the input
voltage. The rectifying switch is current-limited to
approximately 100 mA during this time. This will affect
the start-up under higher load currents, and the device
may not start to the nominal value. After charging the
output capacitor to the input voltage, the device starts
switching. If the input voltage is below 1.6V, the device
runs open-loop with a fixed duty cycle of 70% until the
output reaches 1.6V. During this time, the boost switch
DS20002234D-page 12
current is limited to 50% of its nominal value. Once the
output voltage reaches 1.6V, normal closed-loop PWM
operation is initiated.
The MCP1640/B/C/D charges an internal capacitor
with a very weak current source. The voltage on this
capacitor, in turn, slowly ramps the current limit of the
boost switch to its nominal value. The soft-start
capacitor is completely discharged in the event of a
commanded shutdown or a thermal shutdown.
There is no undervoltage lockout feature for the
MCP1640/B/C/D. The device will start-up at the lowest
possible voltage and run down to the lowest possible
voltage. For typical battery applications, this may result
in “motor-boating” (emitting a low-frequency tone) for
deeply discharged batteries.
 2010-2015 Microchip Technology Inc.
MCP1640/B/C/D
4.2.2
PWM-ONLY MODE OPERATION
In normal PWM operation, the MCP1640/B/C/D
operates as a fixed frequency, synchronous boost
converter. The switching frequency is internally
maintained with a precision oscillator typically set to
500 kHz. The MCP1640B/D devices will operate in
PWM-Only mode even during periods of light load
operation. By operating in PWM-Only mode, the output
ripple remains low and the frequency is constant.
Operating in fixed PWM mode results in lower
efficiency during light load operation (when compared
to PFM mode (MCP1640/C)).
Lossless current sensing converts the peak current signal to a voltage to sum with the internal slope compensation. This summed signal is compared to the voltage
error amplifier output to provide a peak current control
command for the PWM signal. The slope
compensation is adaptive to the input and output
voltage. Therefore, the converter provides the proper
amount of slope compensation to ensure stability, but is
not excessive, which causes a loss of phase margin.
The peak current limit is set to 800 mA typical.
4.2.3
PFM MODE OPERATION
The MCP1640/C devices are capable of operating in
normal PWM mode and PFM mode to maintain high
efficiency at all loads. In PFM mode, the output ripple
has a variable frequency component that changes with
the input voltage and output current. The value of the
output capacitor changes the low-frequency component ripple. Output ripple peak-to-peak values are not
affected by the output capacitor. With no load, the quiescent current draw from the output is typically 19 µA.
This is not a switching current and is not dependent on
the input and output parameters. The no-load input current drawn from the battery depends on the above
parameters. Its variation is shown in Figure 2-13. The
PFM mode can be disabled in selected device options.
PFM operation is initiated if the output load current falls
below an internally programmed threshold. The output
voltage is continuously monitored. When the output
voltage drops below its nominal value, PFM operation
pulses one or several times to bring the output back
into regulation. If the output load current rises above
the upper threshold, the MCP1640/C transitions
smoothly into PWM mode.
4.2.4
ADJUSTABLE OUTPUT VOLTAGE
The MCP1640/B/C/D output voltage is adjustable with
a resistor divider over a 2.0V minimum to 5.5V
maximum range. High-value resistors can be used to
minimize quiescent current to keep efficiency high at
light loads.
 2010-2015 Microchip Technology Inc.
4.2.5
ENABLE PIN
The enable pin is used to turn the boost converter on
and off. The enable threshold voltage varies with input
voltage. To enable the boost converter, the EN voltage
level must be greater than 90% of the VIN voltage. To
disable the boost converter, the EN voltage must be
less than 20% of the VIN voltage.
4.2.6
INTERNAL BIAS
The MCP1640/B/C/D gets its start-up bias from VIN.
Once the output exceeds the input, bias comes from
the output. Therefore, once started, operation is
completely independent of VIN. Operation is only
limited by the output power level and the input source
series resistance. When started, the output will remain
in regulation down to 0.35V typical with 1 mA output
current for low source impedance inputs.
4.2.7
INTERNAL COMPENSATION
The error amplifier, with its associated compensation
network, completes the closed-loop system by
comparing the output voltage to a reference at the
input of the error amplifier, and feeding the amplified
and inverted signal to the control input of the inner
current loop. The compensation network provides
phase leads and lags at appropriate frequencies to
cancel excessive phase lags and leads of the power
circuit. All necessary compensation components and
slope compensation are integrated.
4.2.8
SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION
Unlike most boost converters, the MCP1640/B/C/D
allows its output to be shorted during normal operation.
The internal current limit and overtemperature
protection limit excessive stress and protect the device
during periods of short circuit, overcurrent and overtemperature. While operating in Bypass mode, the
P-Channel current limit is inhibited to minimize
quiescent current.
4.2.9
LOW NOISE OPERATION
The MCP1640/B/C/D integrates a low noise anti-ring
switch that damps the oscillations typically observed at
the switch node of a boost converter when operating in
the Discontinuous Inductor Current mode. This
removes the high-frequency radiated noise.
4.2.10
OVERTEMPERATURE
PROTECTION
Overtemperature protection circuitry is integrated into
the MCP1640/B/C/D. This circuitry monitors the device
junction temperature and shuts the device off if the
junction temperature exceeds the typical +150°C
threshold. If this threshold is exceeded, the device will
automatically restart when the junction temperature
drops by 10°C. The soft start is reset during an
overtemperature condition.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
5.1
Typical Applications
For boost converters, the removal of the feedback
resistors during operation must be avoided. In this
case, the output voltage will increase above the
absolute maximum output limits of the MCP1640/B/C/D
and damage the device.
The MCP1640/B/C/D synchronous boost regulator
operates over a wide input and output voltage range.
The power efficiency is high for several decades of load
range. Output current capability increases with input
voltage and decreases with increasing output voltage.
The maximum output current is based on the
N-Channel peak current limit. Typical characterization
curves in this data sheet are presented to display the
typical output current capability.
The maximum device output current is dependent upon
the input and output voltage. For example, to ensure a
100 mA load current for VOUT = 3.3V, a minimum of
1.0-1.1V input voltage is necessary. If an application is
powered by one Li-Ion battery (VIN from 3.0V to 4.2V),
the minimum load current the MCP1640/B/C/D can
deliver is close to 300 mA at 5.0V output and a
maximum of 500 mA (Figure 2-3).

Maximum Output Current
To calculate the resistor divider values for the
MCP1640/B/C/D, the following equation can be used,
where RTOP is connected to VOUT, RBOT is connected
to GND and both are connected to the FB input pin.

The internal error amplifier is of transconductance type; its
gain is not related to the resistors' value. There are some
potential issues with higher-value resistors. For small
surface-mount resistors, environment contamination can
create leakage paths that significantly change the resistor
divider ratio and modify the output voltage tolerance.
Smaller feedback resistor values will increase the
current drained from the battery by a few µA, but will
result in good regulation over the entire temperature
range and environment conditions. The feedback input
leakage current can also impact the divider and change
the output voltage tolerance.
 2010-2015 Microchip Technology Inc.
VIN > VOUT SITUATION
For VIN > VOUT, the output voltage will not remain in
regulation. VIN > VOUT is an unusual situation for a
boost converter, and there is a common issue when
two Alkaline cells (2 x 1.6V typical) are used to boost to
3.0V output. The Input-to-Output Bypass option is
recommended to be used in this situation until the
batteries’ voltages go down to a safe headroom. A
minimum headroom of approximately 150 to 200 mV
between VOUT and VIN must be ensured, unless a lowfrequency, high-amplitude output ripple on VOUT is
expected. The ripple and its frequency is VIN and load
dependent. The higher the VIN, the higher the ripple
and the lower its frequency.
5.3
Input Capacitor Selection
The boost input current is smoothed by the boost inductor reducing the amount of filtering necessary at the
input. Some capacitance is recommended to provide
decoupling from the source. Low ESR X5R or X7R are
well suited since they have a low temperature coefficient
and small size. For most applications, 4.7 µF of capacitance is sufficient at the input. For high-power applications that have high source impedance or long leads,
connecting the battery to the input 10 µF of capacitance
is recommended. Additional input capacitance can be
added to provide a stable input voltage.
Table 5-1 contains the recommended range for the
input capacitor value.
5.4
Output Capacitor Selection
The output capacitor helps provide a stable output
voltage during sudden load transients and reduces the
output voltage ripple. As with the input capacitor, X5R
and X7R ceramic capacitors are well suited for this application. Using other capacitor types (aluminum or tantalum) with large ESR has an impact on the converter's
efficiency and maximum output power (see AN1337).
DS20002234D-page 15
MCP1640/B/C/D
Inductor Selection
The MCP1640/B/C/D is designed to be used with small
surface-mount inductors; the inductance value can
range from 2.2 µH to 10 µH. An inductance value of
4.7 µH is recommended to achieve a good balance
between inductor size, converter load transient
response and minimized noise.

voltage. While COUT provides load current, a voltage
drop also appears across its internal ESR that results
in ripple voltage.

The MCP1640/B/C/D is internally compensated, so
output capacitance range is limited (see Table 5-1 for
the recommended output capacitor range). An output
capacitance higher than 10 µF adds a better load-step
response and high-frequency noise attenuation, especially while stepping from light current loads (PFM
mode) to heavy current loads (PWM mode). Overshoots and undershoots during pulse load application
are reduced by adding a zero in the compensation
loop. A small capacitance (for example 100 pF) in parallel with an upper feedback resistor will reduce output
spikes, especially in PFM mode.

Several parameters are used to select the correct
inductor: maximum rated current, saturation current
and copper resistance (ESR). For boost converters, the
inductor current is much higher than the output current;
the average of the inductor current is equal to the input
current drawn from the input. The lower the inductor
ESR, the higher the efficiency of the converter. This is
a common trade-off in size versus efficiency.
Peak current is the maximum or the limit, and
saturation current typically specifies a point at which
the inductance has rolled off a percentage of the rated
value. This can range from a 20% to 40% reduction in
inductance. As inductance rolls off, the inductor ripple
current increases; as does the peak switch current. It is
important to keep the inductance from rolling off too
much, causing switch current to reach the peak limit.

estimate, assuming that most of the power lost is
internal to the MCP1640/B/C/D and not CIN, COUT and
the inductor. There is some percentage of power lost in
the boost inductor, with very little loss in the input and
output capacitors. For a more accurate estimation of
internal power dissipation, subtract the IINRMS2 x LESR
power dissipation.
The MCP1640/B/C/D is available in two different
packages: 6-Lead SOT-23 and 8-Lead 2 x 3 DFN. The
junction temperature is estimated by calculating the
power dissipation and applying the package thermal
resistance (JA). The maximum continuous junction
temperature rating for the MCP1640/B/C/D is +125°C.
5.7
To quickly estimate the internal power dissipation for
the switching boost regulator, an empirical calculation
using measured efficiency can be used. Given the
measured efficiency, the internal power dissipation is
estimated by Equation 5-3.
PCB Layout Information
Good printed circuit board layout techniques are
important to any switching circuitry, and switching
power supplies are no different. When wiring the
switching high-current paths, short and wide traces
should be used. Therefore, it is important that the input
and output capacitors be placed as close as possible to
the MCP1640/B/C/D to minimize the loop area.

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
•
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
•
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
•
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
