MP3115
The Future of Analog IC Technology
High-Efficiency, Single-Cell Alkaline, 1.3MHz
Synchronous Step-up Converter
with Output Disconnect
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MP3115 is a synchronous, fixed frequency,
current mode step-up converter with output-toinput disconnect optimized to boost a single AA
Alkaline battery to 2.5V or 3.3V.
•
•
•
•
It can startup from an input voltage as low as
0.950V and provide in-rush current limiting as
well as output short circuit protection. The
integrated P-Channel synchronous rectified
switch provides improved efficiency and
eliminates an external schottky diode. The
output disconnect feature allows the output to be
completely discharged, thus allowing the part to
draw less than 1µA of current in shutdown mode.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The 1.3MHz switching frequency allows for the
use of smaller external components and the
internal compensation and soft-start minimize
the external component count, all helping to
produce a compact solution for a wide range of
load current.

Figure 1—Functional Block Diagram
The MP3115 uses a 1.3MHz fixed-frequency,
current-mode regulation architecture to regulate
the output voltage. The MP3115 measures the
output voltage through an external resistive
voltage divider and compares that to the
internal 1.2V reference to generate the error
voltage. The current-mode regulator compares
the error voltage to the inductor current to
regulate the output voltage. The use of currentmode regulation improves transient response
and control loop stability.
When the MP3115 is disabled (EN0.8V), the P-Channel
MOSFET turns on to charge the output
capacitor to a voltage close to the input voltage.
During this time, the gate of the P-Channel is
controlled to limit the chip power dissipation.
The MP3115 starts switching when the output
voltage is close to the input voltage. If the input
voltage is less than 1.6V, the MP3115 will start
with CCM (constant current mode) until the
output voltage crosses 1.6V. After that, the
soft-start circuit will take over to bring the output
voltage to the regulated value.
MP3115 Rev. 0.9
4/12/2016
At the beginning of each cycle, the N-channel
MOSFET switch is turned on, forcing the
inductor current to rise. The current at the
source of the switch is internally measured and
converted to a voltage by the current sense
amplifier. That voltage is compared to the error
voltage. When the inductor current rises
sufficiently, the PWM comparator turns off the
switch, forcing the inductor current to the output
capacitor through the internal P-Channel
MOSFET rectifier, which forces the inductor
current to decrease. The peak inductor current
is controlled by the error voltage, which in turn
is controlled by the output voltage. Thus the
output voltage controls the inductor current to
satisfy the load.
The MP3115 has a temperature sensing circuit
to protect the part. The MP3115 turns off both
switches when the chip temperature reaches
150°C.

MP3115 – HIGH-EFFICIENCY 1.3MHz SYNCHRONOUS STEP-UP CONVERTER
APPLICATION INFORMATION
COMPONENT SELECTION
Setting the Output Voltage
Set the output voltage by selecting the resistive
voltage divider ratio. The voltage divider drops
the output voltage to the 1.2V feedback voltage.
Use 20kΩ for the low-side resistor (R2) of the
voltage divider. Determine the high-side resistor
(R1) by the equation:
R1 =
VOUT − VFB
⎛ VFB ⎞
⎜⎜
⎟⎟
⎝ R2 ⎠
Where VOUT is the output voltage, VFB is the
1.2V feedback voltage and R2=20kΩ.
Selecting the Input Capacitor
An input capacitor is required to supply the AC
ripple current to the inductor while limiting noise
at the input source. Multi-layer ceramic
capacitors are recommended as they have
extremely low ESR and are available in small
footprints. Use an input capacitor of 4.7μF or
greater, and place it physically close to the
device.
Selecting the Output Capacitor
A single 4.7µF to 10µF ceramic capacitor
normally provides sufficient output capacitance
for most applications. Larger values (up to 22µF)
may be used to obtain extremely low output
voltage ripple and improve transient response.
The impedance of the ceramic capacitor at the
switching frequency is dominated by its
capacitance, so the output voltage ripple is
mostly independent of ESR. The output voltage
ripple VRIPPLE is calculated as:
VRIPPLE =
ILOAD (VO UT − VIN )
VO UT × C2 × f SW
Where VIN is the input voltage, ILOAD is the load
current, C2 is the capacitance of the output
capacitor and fSW is the 1.3MHz switching
frequency.
MP3115 Rev. 0.9
4/12/2016
Selecting the Inductor
The inductor is required to force the output
voltage higher while being driven by the lower
input voltage. A good rule for determining the
inductance is to allow the peak-to-peak ripple
current to be approximately 30%-50% of the
maximum input current. Make sure that the
peak inductor current is below the minimum
current limit at the duty cycle used to prevent
loss of regulation due to current limit variation.
Calculate the required inductance value L using
the equations:
L=
VIN (VOUT - VIN )
VOUT × fSW × ΔI
IIN(MAX ) =
VOUT × ILOAD (MAX )
VIN × η
ΔI = (30% − 50%)IIN(MAX)
Where ILOAD(MAX) is the maximum load current, ΔI
is the peak-to-peak inductor ripple current and η
is the efficiency. For the MP3115, 4.7µH is
recommended for most applications. Choose an
inductor that does not saturate at the peak
switch current as calculated above with
additional margin to cover for heavy load
transients and extreme startup conditions.
Selecting the Feed-Forward Capacitor
A feed-forward capacitor in parallel with the
high-side resistor R1 can be added to improve
the output ripple at both discontinuous
conduction modes and the load transient
response. A 47pF capacitor is recommended
for most applications.
LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
High frequency switching regulators require
very careful layout for stable operation and low
noise. All components must be placed as close
to the IC as possible. All feedback components
must be kept close to the FB pin to prevent
noise injection on the FB pin trace. The ground
return of C1 and C2 should be tied close to the
GND pin. See the MP3115 demo board layout
for reference.
