Typical DC-to-DC application
7.1 Enable (EN) pin
EN pin enables the boost converter when HIGH. However the effect of the EN when LOW
has two methods of operation, depending on which device is used.
PCA9410 device: the EN pin when LOW causes the part to go into a total disconnect
mode from input to output.
PCA9410A device: EN pin when LOW forces the part into Pass Through mode where the
output voltage is the same as the input voltage. This device emulates a conventional
boost converter (without the voltage drop of the internal diode).
When the EN pin is pulled HIGH it should be held HIGH for at least 500 s for the device
to properly initialize. This is for getting the forced Pass Through mode set up properly.
Shorter pulses may cause unpredictable behavior.

Mode if VIN goes above the VOUT target. In Pass-Through Mode, the device provides a
very low impedance path from VIN to VOUT. Entry to the Pass-Through Mode is triggered

by condition where VIN > VOUT target. Pass-Through Mode exit is triggered when VOUT
going down reaches the target VOUT voltage. During Automatic Pass-Through Mode, the
PMOS overcurrent protection remains enabled.
In the PCA9410A, user can force the device in Forced Pass-Through Mode through the
EN pin. If the EN pin is pulled HIGH, the device starts operating in Boost Mode. Once the
EN pin is pulled LOW, the device is forced into Pass-Through Mode. To disable the
device, the input supply voltage must be removed. The device cannot start-up in Forced
Pass-Through Mode. During start-up, keep the EN pulled HIGH for 500 s, before pulling
it LOW and putting the device into Forced Pass-Through Mode. The EN pin has an
internal pull-down resistor (see Figure 5 for the sequence).

7.2 Inrush current limiter (soft start)
The PCA9410 and PCA9410A have an integrated pre-charge circuit that prevents large
inrush currents when input voltage is applied. This inrush is accompanied with a current
limit that shuts down the device, and runs a delay timer then attempts a restart.
Once the output voltage reaches the input voltage the soft start function is enabled to limit
the maximum current in boost time and to reduce an input voltage dip. Therefore the
system has a turn-on procedure which starts up step-by-step and limits the inrush current
via a duty cycle control up to the maximum current capability.
7.3 Thermal protection
The PCA9410 and PCA9410A have an integrated thermal protection. The protection
circuit senses the internal temperature of the chip and switches off the integrated PMOS
power switch transistor when temperature reaches 150 C. After the temperature returns
to a safe value 20 C below the shutdown temperature, the system restarts in the
pre-charge phase.

7.4 Overcurrent protection
Overcurrent protection circuit senses the current through the integrated PMOS. If the
diagnostic circuit detects an overcurrent, the system switches off the PMOS and NMOS to
break the current flow, and a 20 ms timeout is started. Once the 20 ms timeout expires,
the part restarts in the pre-charge phase.

11. Application information
11.1 Overcurrent protection
Conventional Boost convertors have no output current limit protection. Additionally they
have a phantom power path made up of the inductor and output diode connecting the
input directly to the output; this causes an inrush of current when power is applied. The
PCA9410 has extra provisions to prevent the inrush current and output current limit
problems.
To implement these protections this device has a start-up state machine. This machine
includes a two-stage pre-charge of the output circuitry:
• Stage 1, Inrush control: a 1 A current source is turned on providing a path from input
to output while a voltage comparator and a timer1 are active. If the output voltage
doesn't reach VIN - 200 mV within 1 ms, the device goes into the fault state. If the
output voltage reaches 200 mV below the input voltage first the state machine
advances to the boost mode soft start state.
• Stage 2, Boost Soft-Start: Starting from VOUT = VIN, the output will ramp up to VOUT
target. The PMOS current limit will be enabled during this stage.
The current levels are implemented through the synchronous rectifier transistor properties
and drive states.
11.2 Thermal shutdown
A thermal shutdown state shuts out all other states out until the device has cooled to the
(HiTemp Thysteresis) turn back on temperature, and then it enters the fault state.

11.3 Fault recovery
When a fault occurs, the device has a fault state that disables the output for 20 ms. After
the 20 ms timeout, the device will attempt a restart starting from the inrush state.
11.4 Enable delay
Once the device has been running and gets disabled, it cannot be re-enabled until the
output voltage discharges down to the input voltage. The device has an internal pull-down
to accomplish this, however in the absence of any external load this will take 3 ms. Any
external load will shorten the time it takes to get re-enabled.

The DC-to-DC converter requires an external inductor and two decoupling capacitors.

11.6 Recommended inductors
In order to ensure proper operation of the step-up DC-to-DC converter an inductor with a
sufficient inductance and sufficient saturation current value needs to be used. Recommended
inductance is 1 H. Using this recommended 0603 inductor puts a 300 mA current limit on the
circuit; this inductor has a 800 mA saturation current. For more output current a larger, higher
saturation current inductor will be required according to Figure 18. The saturation current of the
inductor has to be properly chosen for the input voltage and load current range. The lower the
input voltage the higher the input current for a given load current. Once the saturation current of
the inductor is reached, the ferromagnetic core of the inductor will show a rapid nonlinear
behavior and the output current capability of the circuit will drop significantly.

11.7 Input capacitor
To eliminate unwanted voltage transients at the input, place an input decoupling capacitor
of at least 2.2 F as close as possible to the input pin. Due to the voltage dependence of
the capacitor, care should be taken that the effective capacitance of 2 F is available at
input voltages up to 5.25 V. To ensure best performance, it is recommended to use a
capacitor with a low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR). When using a capacitor with
X5R or X7R dielectric keep in mind that the capacitance drops significantly with voltage,
thus a 22 F cap will actually only have 4.2 F at 5 V as shown in Table 10.

11.8 Output capacitor
Because of the narrow voltage-dependent capacitance spread, high temperature stability
and low ESR at high frequencies, it is recommended to use the dielectric X7R or X5R.
The rated capacitance of the output capacitor will be much greater than the actual
capacitance at the 5 V output voltage. The device requires at least 3 F of output
capacitance at its rated output voltage for suppression of ringing, overshoot, as well as for
loop stability. We recommend a 22 F 6.3 V capacitor that is actually a 4.2 F capacitor
when biased at 5 V.

When the space on the application board allows, it is recommended to use two capacitors
instead of a single large value. The reason is that the equivalent series inductance
reduces to half when using two capacitors with the same value and this helps the
capacitors to work more efficiently against high frequency noise where it can be reduced
by a factor of 2. The minimum capacitance needed can either be obtained with a single
22 F capacitor or two 10 F capacitors when the space allows and lower noise is
targeted; keep in mind that the bulk capacitance at the output voltage needs to be greater
than 3.0 F for control loop stability, and two large capacitors will have superior
performance when compared with two smaller capacitors. The boost factor, output
current, switching frequency and the desired peak to peak ripple limit define the minimum
capacitance needed.
The duty cycle (D) needed with 90 % efficiency at a worst case of 2.5 V VIN.
Eff V IN
D = 1 – --------------------V OUT
(1)
For the minimum input voltage 2.5 V and 5 V output voltage D = 0.55
Using the simplified correlation between the current (IOUT(max)), ripple (Vripple), duty cycle
(D) and switching frequency (fsw) the minimum Cout capacitance can be calculated as
follows:
D
C OUT min = I OUT max ----------------------------f sw V ripple
(2)
With a sample set of values: Iout = 300 mA, D = 0.55, fsw = 3 MHz, Vripple = 20 mV
COUT(min) = 2.75 F (This is not the nominal value at 0 V bias, it is the derated value at 5 V
bias).
This value presumes that the ESR and ESL of the capacitor is negligible and the path
output-capacitor-ground is as short as possible. Compensating for the listed factors, the
minimum output capacitance is specified at 3.0 f at 5 V. How much the capacitance
degrades at high bias voltage is supplier dependent and especially when 0402 size
capacitors are chosen the voltage dependence should be taken into consideration.

11.9 Layout of the PCB
The most critical layout constraint of this circuit is that the output Cap C2 be placed as
close to the IC as possible. Use short wide traces to connect this capacitor to the IC. See
below for an example of the layout detailing the IC and the output capacitor. The
connection from switch pin to the inductor should have minimum capacitance to GND.

13. Soldering of WLCSP packages
13.1 Introduction to soldering WLCSP packages
This text provides a very brief insight into a complex technology. A more in-depth account
of soldering WLCSP (Wafer Level Chip-Size Packages) can be found in application note
AN10439 “Wafer Level Chip Scale Package” and in application note AN10365 “Surface
mount reflow soldering description”.
Wave soldering is not suitable for this package.
All NXP WLCSP packages are lead-free.
13.2 Board mounting
Board mounting of a WLCSP requires several steps:
1. Solder paste printing on the PCB
2. Component placement with a pick and place machine
3. The reflow soldering itself
13.3 Reflow soldering
Key characteristics in reflow soldering are:
• Lead-free versus SnPb soldering; note that a lead-free reflow process usually leads to
higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 22) than a SnPb process, thus
reducing the process window
• Solder paste printing issues, such as smearing, release, and adjusting the process
window for a mix of large and small components on one board
• Reflow temperature profile; this profile includes preheat, reflow (in which the board is
heated to the peak temperature), and cooling down. It is imperative that the peak
temperature is high enough for the solder to make reliable solder joints (a solder paste
characteristic) while being low enough that the packages and/or boards are not
damaged. The peak temperature of the package depends on package thickness and
volume and is classified in accordance with Table 12.

Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on the packing, must be respected at all
times.
Studies have shown that small packages reach higher temperatures during reflow
soldering, see Figure 22.

13.3.1 Stand off
The stand off between the substrate and the chip is determined by:
• The amount of printed solder on the substrate
• The size of the solder land on the substrate
• The bump height on the chip
The higher the stand off, the better the stresses are released due to TEC (Thermal
Expansion Coefficient) differences between substrate and chip.
13.3.2 Quality of solder joint
A flip-chip joint is considered to be a good joint when the entire solder land has been
wetted by the solder from the bump. The surface of the joint should be smooth and the
shape symmetrical. The soldered joints on a chip should be uniform. Voids in the bumps
after reflow can occur during the reflow process in bumps with high ratio of bump diameter
to bump height, i.e. low bumps with large diameter. No failures have been found to be
related to these voids. Solder joint inspection after reflow can be done with X-ray to
monitor defects such as bridging, open circuits and voids.
13.3.3 Rework
In general, rework is not recommended. By rework we mean the process of removing the
chip from the substrate and replacing it with a new chip. If a chip is removed from the
substrate, most solder balls of the chip will be damaged. In that case it is recommended
not to re-use the chip again.

Device removal can be done when the substrate is heated until it is certain that all solder
joints are molten. The chip can then be carefully removed from the substrate without
damaging the tracks and solder lands on the substrate. Removing the device must be
done using plastic tweezers, because metal tweezers can damage the silicon. The
surface of the substrate should be carefully cleaned and all solder and flux residues
and/or underfill removed. When a new chip is placed on the substrate, use the flux
process instead of solder on the solder lands. Apply flux on the bumps at the chip side as
well as on the solder pads on the substrate. Place and align the new chip while viewing
with a microscope. To reflow the solder, use the solder profile shown in application note
AN10365 “Surface mount reflow soldering description”.
13.3.4 Cleaning
Cleaning can be done after reflow soldering.
