So dead time is introduced to make sure M2 is completed 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 start−up. NCP1410 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). 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. Voltage Reference The voltage at REF is set typically at +1.190 V. It can output 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 Synchronous Rectification The IC is shutdown when the voltage at pin 5 (SHDN) 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 pin 5 voltage is pull higher than 0.6 V, for example, by a resistor connected to VIN, the IC is enabled, and the internal circuit will only consume 9.0 A current typically from the OUT pin. Refer to Figure 2, the product of RSHDN and CSHDN must be larger than (500 k • 56 nF, i.e. 28 msec). This is to provide reset pulse for startup as battery is plugged in. 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. http://onsemi.com 9 NCP1410 Low−Battery Detection Capacitors Selection A comparator with 30 mV hysteresis is applied to perform the low−battery detection function. When pin 2 (LBI) 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 by the external resistor. In all switching mode boost converter applications, both the input and output terminals sees pulsating 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 terminals. 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. APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Output Voltage Setting Optional Startup Schottky Diode for Low Battery Voltage The output voltage of the converter is determined by the external feedback network comprised of RFB1 and RFB2 and the relationship is given by: In general operation, no external Schottky diode is required, however, in case you are intended to operate the device close to 1 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. R VOUT 1.190 V 1 FB1 RFB2 where RF2 and RF1 are the upper and lower feedback resistors respectively. L Low Battery Detect Level Setting MBR0502 The Low Battery Detect Voltage of the converter is determined by the external divider network comprised of RLB1 and RLB2 and the relationship is given by: VOUT OUT R VLB 1.190 V 1 LB1 RLB2 NCP1410 LX where RLB1 and RLB2 are the upper and lower divider resistors respectively. Inductor Selection COUT Figure 27. Schottky Device Between LX and OUT Pins The NCP1410 is tested to produce optimum performance with a 22 H inductor at VIN = 3 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 NCP1410, ILIM is set at 1 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 time. One other parameter of the inductor is its DC 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. 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 in the following paragraphs, can be used as guidelines 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 along the path. Feedback signal path must be separated with the main current path and sensing directly at the anode of the output capacitor. http://onsemi.com 10 NCP1410 Components Placement Feedback Network 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 kept away from the feedback (FB, pin 1) terminal to avoid unwanted injection of noise into the feedback path. 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.

Typical Application Schematic for 2 Alkaline Cells Supply http://onsemi.com 11 GND NCP1410 GENERAL DESIGN PROCEDURES 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 form 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 NCP1410 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.
