The TC105 normally operates in pulse width modulation mode (PWM), but automatically switches to pulse frequency modulation (PFM) at low output loads for greater efficiency. Oscillator frequency is 300kHz, allowing use of small (22H) inductors. Supply current draw is only 102A (max), and is reduced to less than 0.5A when the SHDN input is brought low. Regulator operation is suspended during shutdown. The TC105 accepts a maximum input voltage of 10V.

TABLE 2-1: PIN FUNCTION TABLE Pin No. (5-Pin SOT-23A) Symbol 1 EXT Description Switch transistor control output. This terminal connects to the gate of an external P-channel MOSFET (or to the base of an external PNP transistor through a current limiting resistor). 2 VDD Power supply voltage input. 3 GND Ground terminal. 4 SHDN Shutdown input (active low). The device enters a low power shutdown state when this input is brought low. During shutdown, regulator action is suspended, and supply current is reduced to less than 0.5A. The device resumes normal operation when SHDN is again brought high. 5 VOUT Voltage sense input. This input senses output voltage for regulation and must be connected to the output voltage node as shown in the application schematic in this data sheet. 2001-2012 Microchip Technology Inc. DS21349C-page 3 TC105 3.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION The TC105 is a PFM/PWM step-down DC/DC controller for use in systems operating from two or more cells, or in line-powered applications. It uses PWM as the primary modulation scheme, but automatically converts to PFM at output duty cycles less than approximately 10%. The conversion to PFM provides reduced supply current, and therefore higher operating efficiency at low loads. The TC105 uses an external switching transistor, allowing construction of switching regulators with output currents of up to 1A. The TC105 consumes only 102A, max, of supply current when VIN = 5V and VOUT = 3.3V, and can be placed in a 0.5A shutdown mode by bringing the shutdown input (SHDN) low. The regulator remains disabled while in shutdown mode, and output voltage discharges to zero through the load. Normal operation resumes when SHDN is brought high. Other features include a built-in undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and externally programmable soft start time. 3.1 Low Power Shutdown Mode The TC105 enters a low power shutdown mode when SHDN is brought low. While in shutdown, the oscillator is disabled and the output switch is shut off. Normal regulator operation resumes when SHDN is again brought high. SHDN may be tied to the input supply if not used. 3.2 Soft Start Soft start allows the output voltage to gradually ramp from 0 to rated output value during start-up. This action minimizes (or eliminates) overshoot, and in general, reduces stress on circuit components. Figure 4-1 shows the circuit required to implement soft start (values of 470K and 0.033F for RSS and CSS respectively, are adequate for most applications). 3.3 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) The TC105 is disabled when VIN is below the undervoltage lockout threshold. This threshold is equal to the guaranteed minimum operating voltage for the TC105 (i.e., 2.2V). When UVLO is active, the TC105 is completely disabled. DS21349C-page 4 3.4 Input Bypass Capacitors Using an input bypass capacitor reduces peak current transients drawn from the input supply and reduces the switching noise generated by the regulator. The source impedance of the input supply determines the size of the capacitor that should be used. 3.5 Output Capacitor The effective series resistance of the output capacitor directly affects the amplitude of the output voltage ripple. (The product of the peak inductor current and the ESR determines output ripple amplitude.) Therefore, a capacitor with the lowest possible ESR should be selected. Smaller capacitors are acceptable for light loads or in applications where ripple is not a concern. The Sprague 595D series of tantalum capacitors are among the smallest of all low ESR surface mount capacitors available. Table 4-1 lists suggested components and suppliers. 3.6 Inductor Selection Selecting the proper inductor value is a trade-off between physical size and power conversion requirements. Lower value inductors cost less, but result in higher ripple current and core losses. They are also more prone to saturate since the coil current ramps faster and could overshoot the desired peak value. This not only reduces efficiency, but could also cause the current rating of the external components to be exceeded. Larger inductor values reduce both ripple current and core losses, but are larger in physical size and tend to increase the start-up time slightly. A 22H inductor is recommended as the best overall compromise. For highest efficiency, use inductors with a low DC resistance (less than 20 m). To minimize radiated noise, consider using a toroid, pot core or shielded-bobbin inductor. 3.7 Output Diode The high operating frequency of the TC105 requires a high-speed diode. Schottky diodes such as the MA737 or 1N5817 through 1N5823 (and the equivalent surface mount versions) are recommended. Select a diode whose average current rating is greater than the peak inductor current and whose voltage rating is higher than VDDMAX. 2001-2012 Microchip Technology Inc. TC105 3.8 External Switching Transistor Selection EXT is a complementary output with a maximum ON resistance of 22 to VDD when high and 19 to ground when low. It is designed to directly drive a P-channel MOSFET or a PNP bipolar transistor through a base current limiting resistor (Figure 4-2). A PNP transistor is recommended in applications where VIN is less than 2.5V. Otherwise, a P-channel MOSFET is preferred as it affords the highest efficiency because it does not draw any gate drive current. However, P-channel MOSFETs are typically more expensive than bipolar transistors. 3.8.1 BOARD LAYOUT GUIDELINES As with all inductive switching regulators, the TC105 generates fast switching waveforms, which radiate noise. Interconnecting lead lengths should be minimized to keep stray capacitance, trace resistance and radiated noise as low as possible. In addition, the GND pin, input bypass capacitor and output filter capacitor ground leads should be connected to a single point. The input capacitor should be placed as close to power and ground pins of the TC105 as possible. The length of the EXT trace must also be kept as short as possible. P-channel MOSFET selection is determined mainly by the on-resistance, gate-source threshold, and gate charge requirements. Also, the drain-to-source and gate-to-source breakdown voltage ratings must be greater than VDDMAX. The total gate charge specification should be less than 100nC for best efficiency. The MOSFET must be capable of handling the required peak inductor current, and should have a very low on-resistance at that current. For example, an Si9430 MOSFET has a drain-to-source rating of -20V, and a typical on-resistance rDSON of 0.07 at 2A, with VGS = -4.5V.
