DESCRIPTION
The UTC UC3500 Step-up DC/DC converters are optimized for
applications that prioritize high efficiency and high frequency. The
efficiency is greatly improved by utilizing an internal VFM controlled
scheme that switches with fixed frequency and is adjustable up to
more than 300 KHz depending on the load.
*Pb-free plating product number: UC3500L
The UTC UC3500 requires only three external components to
realize the conversion from the battery voltage to the selected
output voltage in the range of 2.5V ~ 5.5V.
The start-up voltage of UTC UC3500 is guaranteed at 0.8V and
the device is operating down to 0.5V. The Output current is
guaranteed up to 150mA, while quiescent current is only 18µA.
FEATURES
* 0.8V start-up voltage
* 0.5V hold-on voltage
* Output current up to 150mA
* Low supply current of 18µA
* Wide output voltage range of 2.5V~5.5V
* Output voltage accuracy ±2%
* High efficiency up to 88%
* Low profile and minimum external components

CMOS IC
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The UTC UC3500 consists of a Band-Gap reference voltage source, error amplifier, VFM control logic core,
oscillator, VLX limiter amplifier, N-channel MOSFET switching transistor and output voltage divider network.
The device compares the Band-Gap reference voltage with the feedback voltage from the output through divider
network. In TON phase, the energy is transferred from the battery to the inductor. The switch is turned off after a
maximum on time set to 2.5µs. In TOFF phase, the energy stored in the inductor is transferred to the load. This
process is continuously performed to ensure stable output voltage. Until the output voltage reaches the expected
value.
Therefore, in case of light load, the device works in PFM mode. In heavy load condition, the device works in
continuous mode, the frequency range up to a maximum 300 KHz set by the built in oscillator. In over current
conditions, the Ton time is shorted; the switching frequency will be higher than 300 KHz.
