This eliminates the current drain associated with conventional step-up converters when off or in shutdown. Supply current is 270µA under no load and only 20µA in stand by mode. DESCRIPTION The ST777/778/779 are dc-dc converters that step-up from low voltage inputs requiring only three external components, an inductor (typically 22µH) and two capacitors. The device include a Sinchronous Rectifier that eliminates the need for an external catch diode, and allows regulation even when the input is greater than the output.

VOUT is measured to be 5V±2.5% to guarantee the error comparator trip point. 3/11 ST777/778/779 TYPICAL APPLICATION CIRCUIT SEL / N.C. / FB 8 1 ILIM R2 Vin 1÷6V 2 V+ C1 22µF L1 22µH ST777 ST778 ST779 3 AGND ____ SHDN 7 Vout R1 C3 Vo 6 C2 100µF 4 PGND LX 5 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION R1 and R2 must be placed only in ST779 applications to set the output voltage according to the following equation: VOUT = (1.23) [(R1+R2)/R2] and to simplify the resistor selection: R1 = R2 [(VOUT/1.23)-1] It is possible to use a wide range of values for R2 (10KΩ to 50KΩ) with no significant loss of accuracy thanks to the very low FB input current. To have 1% error, the current through R2 must be at least 100 times FB’s bias current. When large values are used for the feedback resistors (R1>50KΩ), stray output impedance at FB can incidentally add "lag" to the feedback response, destabilizing the regulator and creating a larger ripple at the output. Lead lengths and circuit board traces at the FB node should be kept short. Compensate the loop by adding a "lead" compensation capacitor (C3, 100pF to 1nF) in parallel with R1. The typical value of the L1 inductor is 22µH, enough for most applications. However, are also suitable values ranging from 10µF to 47µF with a saturation rating equal to or greater than the peak switch -current limit. 4/11 Efficiency will be reduced if the inductor works near its saturation limit, while will be maximized using an inductor with a low DC resistance, preferably under 0.2Ω. Connecting ILIM to VIN the maximum LX current limit (1A) is set. If this maximum value is not required is possible to reduce it connecting a resistor between ILIM and VIN (See Figure 16 to choose the right value). The current limit value is misured when the switch current through the inductor begins to flatten and does’nt coincide with the max short circuit current. Even if the device is designed to tolerate a short circuit without any damage, it is strictly recommended to avoid a continuos and durable short circuit of the output to GND. To achieve the best performances from switching power supply topology, particular care to layout drawing is needed, in order to minimize EMI and obtain low noise. Moreover, jitter free operation ensures the full device functionality. Wire lengths must be minimized, filter and by-pass capacitors must be low ESR type, placed as close as possible to the integrated circuit. Solder AGND and PGND pins directly to a ground plane.
