The input voltage range is 2V to 3.6V (two battery cells). It requires only four external capacitor: two 0.22µF flying capacitors, and 10µF capacitors at the input and output. DIP-8 SO-8 Low operating supply current (typ 200µA) make the device ideal for small, portable and battery powered applications. When shut down the load is disconnected from the input and the supply current is typically 0.02µA. The ST619LB is available in SO-8 and DIP-8 packages. SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM May 2001 1/9 ST619LB SERIES OPERATING PRINCIPLE The ST619LB is able to provide a regulated 5V output from a 2V to 3.6V (two battery cells) input. Internal charge pump and external capacitors generate the 5V output, eliminating the need for inductors. The output voltage is regulated to 5V, ±4% by a pulse skipping controller that turns on the charge pump when the output voltage begins to drop. To maintain the greatest efficiency the internal charge pump of the device operates as a voltage doubler when VI ranges from 3.0V to 3.6V and as a voltage tripler when VI ranges from 2.0V to 2.5V. When VI ranges from 2.5V to 3.0V , the ST619LB switches between doubler and tripler mode on alternating cycles, making a 2.5 x VI charge pump. To further enhance the efficiency over the input range, an internal comparator selects the higher of VI or VO to run the ST619LB’s circuitry. With VI = 2V and IO = 20mA the typical efficiency value is 80%. In tripler mode (see block diagram), when the S1 switches close, the S2 switches open and capacitors C1 and C2 charge up to VI. On the second half of the cycle, C1 and C2 are connected in series between IN and OUT when the S1 switches open and S2 switches close. In the doubler mode only C2 is used. During one oscillator cycle, energy is transferred from the input to the charge pump capacitors, and then from the charge pump capacitors to the output capacitors and load. The number of cycles within a given time frame increases as the load increases or as the input supply voltage decreases. In the limiting case , the charge pumps operate continuously, and the oscillator frequency is nominally 500kHz. Shut Down Mode The ST619LB enters low power shut down mode when SHDN is a logic high. In shut down mode, OUT is disconnected from the IN and VO falls to 0V. The SHDN pin is connected to ground for normal operation. SHDN is a CMOS compatible input.

It is suggested to use values in the range of 0.22µF to 1.0µF and avoid the use of higher values of CO capacitors, in order to obtain best performance. Ceramic or tantalum capacitors are recommended. Input and output capacitors C3 and C4 The type of input capacitor (C3) and output filter capacitor (C4) used is not critical, but it does affect performance. Tantalums, ceramics or aluminium electrolytic are suggested. For lowest ripple, use large, low effective series resistance (ESR) ceramic tantalum capacitors. If the input supply TYPICAL APPLICATION CIRCUIT TYPICAL APPLICATION DEMOBOARD 6/9 source impedance is very low, C3 can be omitted. The typical application circuit shows the component values for proper operation using minimal board space. The input bypass capacitor (C3) and output filter capacitor (C4) should be at least 10µF. Many capacitors exhibit 40% to 50% variation over temperature. Compensate for capacitor temperature coefficient by selecting a large nominal value to ensure proper operation over temperature. Layout Consideration In the below figure, the typical application demoboard of ST619LB is reported. A good layout ensures stability and helps maintain the output voltage under heavy loads. For best performance, use very short connections to the capacitors.
