SC1408 Low Voltage, Boost DC-DC Controller POWER MANAGEMENT Description Features The SC1408 is a low voltage boost controller that operates from a 1.8V to 16.5V input range. The SC1408 was designed for two cell Alkaline or single cell Lithium Ion battery applications. With the proper external components it can be used as a boost converter or a buck/boost converter. A Shutdown pin allows the user to turn the controller off, reducing supply current to less than 2µA typical. Output voltage can be preset to 5V or is adjustable from 3V to 16.5V with a resistor divider. The controller changes frequency in light load conditions to improve efficiency. 1.8V to 16.5V input range Preset (5V) or adjustable output Ground referenced current limit On chip precision reference Up to 300kHz switching frequency 10µA max shutdown current Industrial temperature range SO-8 and MSOP-8 packages.

The power switch is turned on when the output voltage falls slightly below it’s setpoint. It remains on for approximately 16µs, or until the inductor current reaches limit, whichever occurs first. The power switch is then turned off for 2.3 µs, or until the output voltage once again falls below setpoint, whichever occurs last. The SC1408 is normally powered from the output voltage. Internal circuitry, such as the bandgap, comparators and one shots, will not function properly until the BST pin voltage reaches 2.5V. To ensure start-up at low input voltages, the normal control circuitry is disabled and a special, low voltage start up oscillator generates an approximate square wave at the GATE pin, initiating boost action. When the output voltage reaches 2.5V, the normal control circuitry is enabled and the start up oscillator shuts down. To conserve power, a SHDN pin is provided which, when pulled high, shuts down most internal circuitry. The output voltage will then be 1 diode drop below the input. The bottom resistor in the divider chain (R4 in the typical application circuits) should be 300kΩ or less and the top resistor (R3 in the application circuits) can be calculated from V R 3 = R 4 O − 1 V REF Inductor The SC1408 will work with a wide range of inductor values. A good choice for most applications is 22µH. Smaller inductor values result in higher peak currents and increase output ripple, while larger values will result in slower loop response. Transistor selection Normally the power switch will be an N-channel MOSFET, although in certain circumstances an NPN bipolar may be substituted. The choice of FET can be critical, especially in battery powered applications where the converter must be able to use all of the available energy in the battery. This requires that the converter be capable of starting up from very low input voltages. For example a two cell alkaline system’s terminal voltage will drop to 1.8V as it approaches full discharge. For these demanding applications, a FET with low VGS(th) is required. A good rule of thumb is that VGS(th) should be at least 0.5V less than the minimum input voltage. COMPONENT SELECTION Boost Converter RSENSE The value of the sense resistor is the primary determining factor for maximum output current. The SC1408 has a fixed current limit voltage threshold, which is developed by the peak inductor current flowing through RSENSE. RSENSE may be determined either from the maximum output current curves or from the equation below: IO (MAX ) = − V + VF − VIN VCS 1 − O VO + VF − VFET R SENSE Diode For most applications, a Schottky diode should be used as the output rectifier. It will be subjected to reverse voltages of at least VO , and average current will be somewhat less than the Inductor peak current. Industry standard 1N5817 series or an equivalent surface mount part would be suitable. t off (VIN − VFET )(VO + VF − VIN ) 2L VO + VF − VFET Where : VF = Output Diode Forward Voltage Drop Output Capacitors Output capacitors should be low ESR to minimize ripple voltage and maximize efficiency. Low ESR tantalum or OSCON capacitors should be used. Ripple voltage will be approximately: VFET = Voltage across FET, RSENSE and Inductor DCR In the equation above, the use of 2.3∝s for toff may lead to slightly optimistic current values for low VO/VIN ratios. The theoretical curves use the actual value of toff, VF=0.5V, VFET=0.3V and VCS=0.08V and are generated for L=22µH. Input Capacitors Input capacitors on a boost converter are less critical than the output capacitors, since there are no fast current pulses drawn from the input supply. A 100µF tantalum will be adequate for most applications. Output Voltage Output voltage can be set to 5V by connecting the FB pin to GND, or to any voltage in the 3.0V to 16.5V range using external divider resistors. 2005 Semtech Corp. 5 www.semtech.com SC1408 POWER MANAGEMENT Applications Information (Cont.) COMPONENT SELECTION SEPIC Converter RSENSE Again, with the SEPIC topology, the value of the sense resistor is the primary determining factor for maximum output current. The simplest approach to select RSENSE is to add Vin to Vo and use this value as the output voltage in the output current curves or in the equation for Boost converter. terminal voltage will drop to 1.8V as it approaches full discharge. For these demanding applications, a FET with low VGS(th) is required. A good rule of thumb is that VGS(th) should be at least 0.5V less than the minimum input voltage. Diode For most applications, a Schottky diode should be used as the output rectifier. It will be subjected to reverse voltages of at least VO +VIN and average current will be somewhat less than the Inductor peak current. Industry standard 1N5817 series or an equivalent surface mount part would be suitable. Output Voltage Output voltage setting works exactly the same in SEPIC topology as in Boost, including the ability to set to 5V by connecting the FB pin to GND. Care must be taken to ensure that the IC supply (pin2; BST) does not exceed its 16.5V rating. In the circuit of Fig.2: This requires maximum output voltage to be limited to 16.5V-Vin. Higher output voltages are possible with different IC supply strategies. Output Capacitors Output capacitors should be low ESR to minimize ripple voltage and maximize efficiency. Low ESR tantalums, OSCONs or the newer Polymer capacitors should be used. Input Capacitors Input capacitors on a SEPIC converter are less critical than the output capacitors, since there are no fast current pulses drawn from the input supply. A 100µF tantalum will be adequate for most applications. Inductor The SEPIC topology requires a coupled inductor. Again A good choice for most applications is 22µH. Smaller inductor values result in higher peak currents and increase output ripple, while larger values will result in slower loop response. Series Capacitors The Series capacitor(s) must be capable of handling an RMS current given by:- Transistor selection The choice of FET can be critical, especially in battery powered applications where the converter must be able to use all of the available energy in the battery. This requires that the converter be capable of starting up from very low input voltages. For example a two cell alkaline system’s 2005 Semtech Corp.
