SC46166 300mA ,500KHZ HIGH EFFICIENCY STEP-UP DC/DC CONVERTER DESCRIPTION The SC46166 is a compact, high efficiency, and low voltage step-up DC/DC converter, includes an error amplifier, ramp generator, current comparator, slope compensation, current sense and driver. Peak current mode PWM control with internal compensation reduces external parts count and provides a stable SOT-23-6 and high efficient operation over a wide range of load currents. The low start-up input voltage below 0.85V makes SC46166 suitable for 1 to 4 battery cells applications. A high switching frequency of 500kHz minimizes overall solution footprint by allowing the use of tiny, low profile inductors and ceramic capacitors. The SC46166 shifts automatically to Power Saving Mode operation at SOT-89-5 light loads, the 20uA low quiescent current together with high efficiency maintains long battery lifetime. The device also features low shutdown current of under 1μA.

The low start-up function allows SC46166 operating from an input voltage below 1V, 0.85V typically at VDD. In HANGZHOU SILAN MICROELECTRONICS CO.,LTD Http://www.silan.com.cn REV:1.2 2008.07.04 Page 3 of 11 SC46166 current mode PWM operation,SC46166 automatically detects the output, if the output load current falls below an internally programmed threshold (The threshold has an dependence on the input voltage, output voltage and also the value of the external inductor.), it shifts to Power Saving Mode operation, in which the IC consumes only 20μA, the efficiency is increased. However, the output ripple typically increases. Power Saving Mode ripple can be reduced, by placing a small feed-forward capacitor (An empirical suggestion is around 0.1~10nF) between VOUT and FB pins. Operating at heavy loads for a long time, the die temperature will rise, if the die temperature continues to rise and reaches 150°C, the device shuts off entirely, the part will be enabled again when the die temperature drops by about 20°C. APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Output Voltage Setting Referring to the figure1, the output voltage of the switching regulator (VOUT) can be set with Equation following: VOUT = (1 + R1 R2 )X1.23V Feedback Loop Design Referring to Application Circuit of figure1, the selection of R1 and R2 are based on the trade-off between quiescent current consumption and interference immunity. Higher R reduces the quiescent current (Path current = 1.23V/R2), however resistors beyond 5MΩ , are not recommended. Lower R gives better noise immunity, and is less sensitive to interference, layout parasitics, FB node leakage, and improper probing to FB pins. A proper value of feed-forward capacitor C1 parallel with R1 can improve the noise immunity of the feedback loops, especially in an improper layout. An empirical suggestion is around 100pF~1nF for feedback resistors of MΩ, and 10nF~100nF for feedback resistors of hundreds kΩ. COMPONENT SELECTION Inductor Selection The SC46166 can utilize small surface mount and chip inductors due to its fast 500kHz switching frequency. Typically, a 4.7μH inductor is recommended for most applications. Larger values of inductance will allow greater output current capability by reducing the inductor ripple current. Increasing the inductance above will also increase size . HANGZHOU SILAN MICROELECTRONICS CO.,LTD Http://www.silan.com.cn REV:1.2 2008.07.04 Page 4 of 11 SC46166 The inductor current ripple is typically set for 20% to 40% of the maximum inductor current (IP). The inductor should have low ESR (series resistance of the windings) to reduce the power losses, and must be able to handle the peak inductor current without saturating. To minimize radiated noise, use a shielded bobbin inductor. Output and Input Capacitor Selection Low ESR (equivalent series resistance) capacitors should be used to minimize the output voltage ripple. Multilayer ceramic capacitors are an excellent choice as they have extremely low ESR and are available in small footprints. A 10μF to 22μF output capacitor is sufficient for most applications. Larger values may be used to obtain extremely low output voltage ripple and improve transient response. Low ESR input capacitors reduce input switching noise and reduce the peak current drawn from the battery. It follows that ceramic capacitors are also a good choice for input decoupling, and should be located as close as possible to the device. A 4.7μF input capacitor is sufficient for virtually any application. Operating at light loads, a additional feed forward capacitor may be required (for example C1 in the Figure 1)to maintain acceptable output voltage ripple. For all the three capacitors above, X5R and X7R dielectric materials are preferred, for their ability to maintain capacitance over wide voltage and temperature ranges.
