Sync−Rect PFM Step−Up
DC−DC Converter with
Low−Battery Detector and
Ring−Killer
NCP1411 is a monolithic micropower high frequency Boost
(step−up) voltage switching converter IC specially designed for
battery operated hand−held electronic products up to 250 mA loading.
It integrates Synchronous Rectifier for improving efficiency as well as
eliminating the external Schottky Diode. High switching frequency
(up to 600 kHz) allows low profile inductor and output capacitor being
used. Low−Battery Detector, Logic−Controlled Shutdown and
Cycle−by−Cycle Current Limit provide value−added features for
various battery−operated applications. The innovative Ring−Killer
circuitry guarantees quiet operation in discontinuous conduction
mode. With all these functions ON, the device quiescent supply
current is only 9.0 A typical. This device is available in the space
saving compact Micro8 package.

DETAILED OPERATION DESCRIPTIONS
situation will occur. So dead time is introduced to make sure
M2 is completely turned OFF before M1 is being turned ON.
When the regulator is operating in DCM, as coil current
is dropped to zero, M2 is supposed to be OFF. Fail to do so,
reverse current will flow from the output bulk capacitor
through M2 and then the inductor to the battery input. It
causes damage to the battery. So the ZLC comparator comes
with fixed offset voltage to switch M2 OFF before any
reverse current builds up. However, if M2 is switch OFF too
early, large residue coil current flows through the body diode
of M2 and increases conduction loss. Therefore,
determination on the offset voltage is essential for optimum
performance.
With the implementation of synchronous rectification,
efficiency can be as high as 92%. For single cell input
voltage, use an external Schottky diode such as MBR0520
connected from pin 7 to pin 8 to ensure quick startup.
NCP1411 is a monolithic micropower high frequency
step−up voltage switching converter IC specially designed
for battery operated hand−held electronic products up to
250 mA loading. It integrates Synchronous Rectifier for
improving efficiency as well as eliminating the external
Schottky Diode. High switching frequency (up to 600 kHz)
allows low profile inductor and output capacitor being used.
Low−Battery Detector, Logic−Controlled Shutdown and
Cycle−by−Cycle Current Limit provide value−added
features for various battery−operated application. With all
these functions ON, the quiescent supply current is only
9.0 A typical. This device is available in a compact Micro8
package.
PFM Regulation Scheme
From the simplified Functional Diagram (Figure 2), the
output voltage is divided down and fed back to pin 1 (FB).
This voltage goes to the non−inverting input of the PFM
comparator whereas the comparator’s inverting input is
connected to REF. A switching cycle is initiated by the
falling edge of the comparator, at the moment, the main
switch (M1) is turned ON. After the maximum ON−time
(typical 1.4 S) elapses or the current limit is reached, M1
is turned OFF, and the synchronous switch (M2) is turned
ON. The M1 OFF time is not less than the minimum
OFF−time (typical 0.31 S), this is to ensure energy transfer
from the inductor to the output capacitor. If the regulator is
operating at Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM), M2 is
turned OFF just before M1 is supposed to be ON again. If the
regulator is operating at Discontinuous Conduction Mode
(DCM), which means the coil current will decrease to zero
before the next cycle, M1 is turned OFF as the coil current
is almost reaching zero. The comparator (ZLC) with fixed
offset is dedicated to sense the voltage drop across M2 as it
is conducting, when the voltage drop is below the offset, the
ZLC comparator output goes HIGH, and M2 is turned OFF.
Negative feedback of closed loop operation regulates
voltage at pin 1 (FB) equal to the internal voltage reference
(1.190 V).
Ring−Killer
When the device entered Discontinuous Conduction
Mode operation, a typical ringing at LX pin will start while
the inductor current just ceased. This ringing is caused
primarily by the capacitance and inductance at LX node and
the result can produce unwanted EMI problem to the system.
In order to eliminate this ringing, an internal damping switch
(M3) is implemented to provide a low impedance path to
dissipate the residue energy stored in the inductor once the
operation entered the Discontinuous Conduction Mode.
This feature can improve the EMI problem. The
performance of the Ring−Killer switch is shown in
Figure 22.
Cycle−by−Cycle Current Limit
From Figure 2, SENSEFET is applied to sample the coil
current as M1 is ON. With that sample current flowing
through a sense resistor, sense−voltage is developed.
Threshold detector (ILIM) detects whether the
sense−voltage is higher than preset level. If it happens,
detector output signifies the CONTROL LOGIC to switch
OFF M1, and M1 can only be switched ON as next cycle
starts after the minimum OFF−time (typical 0.31 S). With
properly sizing of SENSEFET and sense resistor, the peak
coil current limit is set at 1.0 A typically.
Synchronous Rectification
Synchronous Rectifier is used to replace Schottky Diode
for eliminating the conduction loss contributed by forward
voltage of the latter. Synchronous Rectifier is normally
realized by powerFET with gate control circuitry which,
however, involved relative complicated timing concerns.
As main switch M1 is being turned OFF, if the
synchronous switch M2 is just turned ON with M1 not being
completed turned OFF, current will be shunt from the output
bulk capacitor through M2 and M1 to ground. This power
loss lowers overall efficiency. So a certain amount of dead
time is introduced to make sure M1 is completely OFF
before M2 is being turned ON.
When the main regulator is operating in CCM, as M2 is
being turned OFF, and M1 is just turned ON with M2 not
being completely turned OFF, the above mentioned
Voltage Reference
The voltage at REF is set typically at +1.190 V. It can
deliver up to 2.5 mA with load regulation ±1.5%, at VOUT
equal to 3.3 V. If VOUT is increased, the REF load capability
can also be increased. A bypass capacitor of 0.15 F is
required for proper operation when REF is not loaded. If
REF is loaded, 1.0 F capacitor at REF is needed.
Shutdown
The IC will shutdown when the voltage at pin 2 (LBI/EN)
is pulled lower than 0.3 V. During shutdown, M1 and M2 are
both switched OFF, however, the body diode of M2 allows
current flow from battery to the output, the IC internal circuit
will consume less than 0.05 A current typically. If the

resistance, this resistance can introduce unwanted power
loss and hence reduce overall efficiency, the basic rule is
selecting an inductor with lowest DC resistance within the
board space limitation of the end application.
pin 1 voltage raised higher than 0.6 V, the IC will be enabled.
The internal circuit will only consume 9.0 A current
typically from the OUT pin. In order to ensure proper
startup, a timing capacitor CEN as shown in Figure 1 is
required to provide the reset pulse during batteries are
plugged in. The product of RLB1 and CEN must be larger than
28 msec.
Capacitors Selection
In all switching mode boost converter applications, both
the input and output terminals sees impulsive
voltage/current waveforms. The currents flowing into and
out of the capacitors multiplying with the Equivalent Series
Resistance (ESR) of the capacitor producing ripple voltage
at the terminals. During the syn−rect switch off cycle, the
charges stored in the output capacitor is used to sustain the
output load current. Load current at this period and the ESR
combined and reflected as ripple at the output terminal. For
all cases, the lower the capacitor ESR, the lower the ripple
voltage at output. As a general guide line, low ESR
capacitors should be used. Ceramic capacitors have the
lowest ESR, but low ESR tantalum capacitors can also be
used as a cost effective substitute.
Low−Battery Detection
A comparator with 30 mV hysteresis is applied to perform
the low−battery detection function. When pin 2 (LBI/EN) is
at a voltage, which can be defined by a resistor divider from
the battery voltage, lower than the internal reference
voltage, 1.190 V, the comparator output will cause a 50 Ohm
low side switch to be turned ON. It will pull down the
voltage at pin 3 (LBO) which has a hundreds kilo−Ohm of
pull−high resistance. If the pin 2 voltage is higher than
1.190 V +30 mV, the comparator output will cause the
50 Ohm low side switch to be turned OFF, pin 3 will become
high impedance, and its voltage will be pulled high.

In general operation, no external schottky diode is
required, however, in case you are intended to operate the
device close to 1.0 V level, a schottky diode connected
between the LX and OUT pins as shown in Figure 27 can
help during startup of the converter. The effect of the
additional schottky was shown in Figure 8.

Inductor Selection
The NCP1411 is tested to produce optimum performance
with a 22 H inductor at VIN = 3.0 V, VOUT = 3.3 V
supplying output current up to 250 mA. For other
input/output requirements, inductance in the range 10 H to
47 H can be used according to end application
specifications. Selecting an inductor is a compromise
between output current capability and tolerable output
voltage ripple. Of course, the first thing we need to obey is
to keep the peak inductor current below its saturation limit
at maximum current and the ILIM of the device. In NCP1411,
ILIM is set at 1.0 A. As a rule of thumb, low inductance values
supply higher output current, but also increase the ripple at
output and reducing efficiency, on the other hand, high
inductance values can improve output ripple and efficiency,
however it also limit the output current capability at the same
PCB Layout Recommendations
Good PCB layout plays an important role in switching
mode power conversion. Careful PCB layout can help to
minimize ground bounce, EMI noise and unwanted
feedback that can affect the performance of the converter.
Hints suggested in below can be used as a guide line in most
situations.
Grounding
Star−ground connection should be used to connect the
output power return ground, the input power return ground
and the device power ground together at one point. All high
current running paths must be thick enough for current
flowing through and producing insignificant voltage drop

kept away from the feedback (FB, pin 1) terminal to avoid
unwanted injection of noise into the feedback path.
along the path. Feedback signal path must be separated with
the main current path and sensing directly at the anode of the
output capacitor.
Feedback Network
Feedback of the output voltage must be a separate trace
detached from the power path. External feedback network
must be placed very close to the feedback (FB, pin 1) pin and
sensing the output voltage directly at the anode of the output
capacitor.
Components Placement
Power components, i.e. input capacitor, inductor and
output capacitor, must be placed as close together as
possible. All connecting traces must be short, direct and
thick. High current flowing and switching paths must be

GENERAL DESIGN PROCEDURES
RLB1 RLB2
Switching mode converter design is considered as black
magic to most engineers, some complicate empirical
formulae are available for reference usage. Those formulae
are derived from the assumption that the key components,
i.e. power inductor and capacitors are available with no
tolerance. Practically, its not true, the result is not a matter
of how accurate the equations you are using to calculate the
component values, the outcome is still somehow away from
the optimum point. In below a simple method base on the
most basic first order equations to estimate the inductor and
capacitor values for NCP1411 operate in Continuous
Conduction Mode is introduced. The component value set
can be used as a starting point to fine tune the circuit
operation. By all means, detail bench testing is needed to get
the best performance out of the circuit.

With the feedback resistor divider, additional small
capacitor, CFB1 in parallel with RFB1 is required to ensure
stability. The value can be in between 68 pF to 220 pF, the
rule is to select the lowest capacitance to ensure stability.
Also a small capacitor, CFB2 in parallel with RFB2 may also
be needed to lower the feedback ripple hence improve
output regulation. The use of CFB2 is a compromise between
output ripple level and regulation, so careful selection of the
value according to end application requirement is needed. In
this example, values for CFB1 and CFB2 are 150 pF and
220 pF respectively.

to achieve the specified ripple level at conditions stated.
Practically, a one level larger capacitor will be used to
accommodate factors not take into account in the
calculation. So a capacitor value of 33 F is selected.
