General Description
The MCP16251/2 is a compact, high-efficiency, fixed
frequency, synchronous step-up DC-DC converter.
This family of devices provides an easy-to-use power
supply solution for applications powered by either
one-cell, two-cell or three-cell alkaline, NiCd, NiMH,
one-cell Li-Ion or Li-Polymer batteries.
A low-voltage technology allows the regulator to start
up without high inrush current or output voltage
overshoot from a low voltage input. High efficiency is
accomplished by integrating the low-resistance
N-Channel boost switch and synchronous P-Channel
switch. All compensation and protection circuitry are
integrated to minimize external components.
MCP16251/2 operates and consumes less than 14 µA
from battery, while operating at no load (VOUT = 3.3V,
VIN = 1.5V). The devices provide a true disconnect
from input to output (MCP16251) or an input-to-output
bypass (MCP16252), while in shutdown (EN = GND).
Both options consume less than 0.6 µA from battery.
Output voltage is set by a small external resistor
divider. Two package options, SOT-23-6 and
2 x 3 TDFN-8, are available.

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
typically be 1.23V, 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 TDFN
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 highcurrent N-Channel switch. In the 2x3 TDFN package,
the PGND and signal ground (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 (>70% of VIN) will enable
the regulator output. A logic low (<20% of VIN) will
ensure that the regulator is disabled.
3.6
Output Voltage Power Pin (VOUTP)
The output voltage power pin connects the output voltage to the switch node. High current flows through the
integrated P-Channel and out of this pin to the output
capacitor and output. In the 2x3 TDFN package, VOUTS
and VOUTP are connected externally.
3.7
Output Voltage Sense Pin (VOUTS)
The output voltage sense pin connects the regulated
output voltage to the internal bias circuits. In the 2x3
TDFN package, VOUTS and VOUTP are connected
externally.
3.8
Connect the input voltage source to VIN. The input
source should be decoupled to GND with a 4.7 µF
minimum capacitor.
3.9
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 650 mA typical peak. The integrated
N-Channel switch drain and integrated P-Channel
switch source are internally connected at the SW node.
Exposed Thermal Pad (EP)
There is no internal electrical connection between the
Exposed Thermal Pad (EP) and the PGND and SGND
pins. They must be connected to the same potential on
the Printed Circuit Board (PCB).

Power Supply Input Voltage Pin (VIN)
Ground Pin (GND)
The ground or return pin is used for circuit ground connection. Length of trace from input cap return, output
cap return and GND pin should be made as short as
possible to minimize noise on the GND pin. In the
SOT23-6 package, a single ground pin is used.
3.11
Output Voltage Pin (VOUT)
The output voltage pin connects the integrated
P-Channel MOSFET to the output capacitor. The feedback voltage divider is also connected to the VOUT pin
for voltage regulation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
4.1.2
4.1
Device Overview
The MCP16251 device incorporates a true output
disconnect feature. With the EN pin pulled low, the
output of the MCP16251 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 typical in boost converters,
which allows the output to be disconnected from the
input. During this mode, less than 0.6 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.
The MCP16251/2 family of devices is capable of low
start-up voltage and delivers high efficiency over a wide
load range for single-cell, two-cell, three-cell alkaline,
NiMH, NiCd 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 quiescent current, low start-up voltage,
adjustable output voltage, PWM/PFM mode operation,
integrated synchronous switch, internal compensation,
low noise anti-ring control, inrush current limit and soft
start. There are two options for the MCP16251/2 family:
True Output Disconnect and Input-to-Output Bypass
(see Table 4-1).
4.1.1
PFM/PWM OPERATION
The MCP16251/2 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, a controlled 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, which is called Sleep period, 1 µA is typically
consumed from the input source, which keeps power
efficiency high at light load. PWM/PFM mode has
higher output ripple voltage than PWM mode, and
variable frequency. The PFM mode frequency is a
function of input voltage, output voltage and load. While
in PFM mode, the boost converter periodically pumps
the output with a fixed switching frequency of 500 kHz.
Figure 2-17 represents the load current versus input
voltage for the PFM-to-PWM threshold.

4.1.3
TRUE OUTPUT DISCONNECT
OPTION
INPUT BYPASS OPTION
The MCP16252 device incorporates the input-to-output
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 0.6 µA with no load.
The Input Bypass mode is used when the input voltage
range is high enough for the load to operate in Standby
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.
In this mode, the current through the P-Channel
MOSFET must not be higher than 400 mA.

Functional Description

frequency, step-up DC-DC converter that provides an
easy-to-use power supply solution for applications
powered by either one-cell, two-cell, or three-cell

MCP16251/2
4.2.1
LOW-VOLTAGE START-UP
The MCP16251/2 is capable of starting from a low input
voltage. Start-up voltage is typically 0.82V 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 during
this time. After charging the output capacitor to the
input voltage, the device starts switching. If the output
voltage is below 60-70% of the desired VOUT, the
device runs in open-loop with a fixed duty cycle of
70-75% until the output reaches this threshold. During
start-up, the inductor peak current is limited (see
Figure 2-21) to allow a correct start from a weak power
supply, such as a solar cell, small coin battery or a
discharged battery. Once the output voltage reaches
60-70% of the desired VOUT, normal closed-loop PWM
operation is initiated.
The MCP16251/2 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
MCP16251/2. The device will start switching at the
lowest voltage possible, and run down to the lowest
possible voltage. For a minimum 0.82V typical input,
the device starts with regulated output under 1 mA
resistive load. Real world loads are mostly nonresistive and allow device start-up at lower values,
down to 0.65V. Working at very low input voltages may
result in “motor-boating” for deeply discharged
batteries.
4.2.2
PFM/PWM MODE
The MCP16251/2 devices are capable of automatically
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-topeak values are not affected by the output capacitor.
With no load, the input current drawn from the battery
is typically 14 µA. The device itself is powering from the
output after start-up, the quiescent current drawn from
output being less than 4 µA (typical, without feedback
resistors divider current).
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 MCP16251 enters smoothly
into the PWM mode.
DS25173A-page 12
In PWM operation, the MCP16251/2 operates as a
fixed frequency, synchronous boost converter. The
switching frequency is internally maintained with a precision oscillator, typically set to 500 kHz. By operating
in PWM-only mode, the output ripple remains low and
the frequency is constant.
Lossless current sensing converts the peak current
signal to a voltage to sum with the internal slope
compensation signal. 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 650 mA typical.
4.2.3
ADJUSTABLE OUTPUT VOLTAGE
AND MAXIMUM OUTPUT CURRENT
The MCP16251/2 output voltage is adjustable with a
resistor divider over a 1.8V minimum to 5.5V maximum
range. High value resistors are recommended to minimize quiescent current to keep efficiency high at light
loads. When an application runs below -20oC, smaller
values for feedback resistors should be used to avoid
any alteration of VOUT, because of the leakage path on
PCBs.
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
1.1 – 1.2V input voltage is necessary. If an application
is powered by one Li-Ion battery (VIN from 3.0V to
4.2V), the maximum load current the MCP16251/2 can
deliver is close to 200 mA at 5.0V output (Figure 2-10).
4.2.4
ENABLE
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 70% of the VIN voltage. To
disable the boost converter, the EN voltage must be
less than 20% of the VIN voltage.
4.2.5
INTERNAL BIAS
The MCP16251/2 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 limited
only by the output power level and the input source
series resistance. Once started, the output will remain
in regulation down to 0.35V input with 1 mA output
current for low source impedance inputs.
 2013 Microchip Technology Inc.
MCP16251/2
4.2.6
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.
4.2.7
SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION
Unlike most boost converters, the MCP16251/2 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 Input-to-output
Bypass mode, the P-Channel current limit is inhibited to
minimize quiescent current.
4.2.8
LOW NOISE OPERATION
The MCP16251/2 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.
4.2.9
OVERTEMPERATURE
PROTECTION
Overtemperature protection circuitry is integrated in the
MCP16251/2 devices. This circuitry monitors the
device junction temperature and shuts the output off if
the junction temperature exceeds the typical +160oC. If
this threshold is exceeded, the device will automatically
restart once the junction temperature drops by 20oC.
During the thermal shutdown, the device is periodically
looking for temperature; once the temperature of the
die drops, the device restarts. Because the device
takes its bias from the output (to achieve lower IQ current) while in thermal shutdown state, there is no low
reference band gap and the output may be higher than
zero for inputs below 1.4V typical. The soft start is reset
during an overtemperature condition.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
5.1
Typical Applications
The MCP16251/2 synchronous boost regulator
operates over a wide input voltage and output voltage
range. The power efficiency is high for several decades
of load range. Output current capability increases with
the input voltage and decreases with the 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 internal Error Amplifier is a 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 change the output voltage
tolerance. Designers should use resistors that are
larger than 1 M with precaution; they can be used on
limited temperature range (-20 to +85oC). For a lower
temperature (down to -40oC), resistors from
Examples 1 or 2 are calculated as following:

Calculations
To calculate the resistor divider values for the
MCP16251/2, use Equation 5-1, where RTOP is

VFB = 1.23V
RBOT = 309 k
RTOP = 520.024 kwith a standard value of

Smaller feedback resistor values will increase the
quiescent current drained from the battery by a few µA,
but will result in good regulation over the entire
temperature range.
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 MCP16251/2
and damage the device (for additional informations,
see AN1337 Application Note).
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 highpower 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.
DS25173A-page 14
 2013 Microchip Technology Inc.
MCP16251/2
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 impact for the converter's
efficiency (see AN1337) and maximum output power.
The MCP16251/2 is internally compensated, so the
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). A minimum of 20 µF output capacitance is
mandatory while the output drives load steps between
heavy load levels. In addition, 2 x 10 µF output
capacitors ensure a better recovery of the output after
a short period of overloading.
While the N-Channel switch is on, the output current is
supplied by the output capacitor COUT. The amount of
output capacitance and equivalent series resistance
will have a significant effect on the output ripple
voltage. While COUT provides load current, a voltage
drop also appears across its internal ESR that results
in ripple voltage.

Inductor Selection
The MCP16251/2 is designed to be used with small
surface mount inductors; the inductance value can
range from 2.2 µH to 6.8 µH. An inductance value of
4.7 µH is recommended to achieve a good balance
between the inductor size, converter load transient
response and minimized noise.

EQUATION 5-3:
Several parameters are used to select the correct
inductor: maximum rated current, saturation current
and copper resistance (ESR). For boost converters, the
inductor current can be much higher than the output
current. The lower the inductor ESR, the higher the
efficiency of the converter, a common trade-off in size
versus efficiency.

The difference between the first term, input power, and
the second term, power delivered, is the internal
MCP16251/2’s power dissipation. This is an estimate
assuming that most of the power lost is internal to the
MCP16251/2 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 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 the 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.
5.6
Thermal Calculations
5.7
The MCP16251/2 is available in two different packages
(SOT-23-6 and 2 x 3 TDFN-8). By calculating the
power dissipation and applying the package thermal
resistance (JA), the junction temperature is estimated.
The maximum continuous junction temperature rating
for the MCP16251/2 family of devices is +125oC.
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 MCP16251/2 to minimize the loop area.
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.
The feedback resistors and feedback signal should be
routed away from the switching node and the switching
current loop. When possible, ground planes and traces
should be used to help shield the feedback signal and
minimize noise and magnetic interference.

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
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
•
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
Information contained in this publication regarding device
applications and the like is provided only for your convenience
and may be superseded by updates. It is your responsibility to
ensure that your application meets with your specifications.
