MP3416
Step-UpConverter with Low IQ,
1.1A Switching Current,Output Disconnect
and Battery Detection Feature
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MP3416 is a low quiescent current, step-up
converterthat uses peak-currentcontrol and
variable frequency architecture to regulate the
output voltage. The MP3416 can work with an
input voltage as low as 0.86Vto provide an
output voltage from 1.8V to 5.5V.
The MP3416 works in peak-current-control
modeand provides good transient response. The
integrated P-channel synchronous rectifier
improves efficiency and eliminates the need for
an external Schottky diode.
In light-load condition, the peak current declines
to about 350mA, and the device enters pulseskip mode to save power loss. When the
MP3416 shuts down, the output is disconnected
from the input, allowing the output to draw less
than 0.65µA in shutdown mode.
The MP3416 is available in 8-pin TSOT23 and 8pin QFN (1.5mmx2.0mm) packages.
Input Voltage Range: 0.86V to 5.5V

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS (1)
Thermal Resistance (4)
SW ...................... -0.3V to+6.5V (8.5V for 0.7V) turns on the
regulator; logic low(VOUT)
The MP3416 integrates one disconnection
MOSFET (DIS-FET) for down-mode condition.
WhenVIN is lower than VOUT-0.2V, the DIS-FET is
on and does not differ from a normal converter’s
operation. While VIN rises higher, the gate of the
DIS-FET is connected to a voltage level of VIN0.4V. In this condition, the SW voltage is charged
high by the inductor current.The DIS-FET no
longer acts as a low-impedance path,but only
turns on when the SW voltage is charged high by
the inductor current. If the inductor current is
zero, the SW voltage is equal to VIN, so the DISFET does not turn on. In shutdown, the LS-FET
never turns on to setup the inductor current, so
the DIS-FET can disconnect the output terminal
from the input to prevent battery discharge.
Start-Up
There are three steps for start-up. Firstly,after
the input voltage rises up to the minimum startup voltage,the MP3416enters open-loop work
mode. In this mode, the switching ontime is
constant, and the output voltage is charged high
by increasing the switching frequency. When
VOUTrises to about 1.7V, the MP3416 switches to
close-loop work mode with soft-start control. In
this second stage, the inductor peak current is
controlled by the internal COMP voltage
(VCOMP),andthe minimum peak current is not
limited, so the switching frequency may be high,
and the rising output voltage has a very small
voltage ripple. Finally, when the output voltage is
close to its set value, the MP3416 enters BCM
close-loop mode, whilethe minimum peak
inductor current is limited above 350mA.Due to
the 350mA minimum peak current, the MP3416
may enter pulse-skipmode in steady state if the
load is light.The loop is powered by the input
before VOUTrises up to 1.7V.It is then powered by
the output after VOUT is higher than 1.7V.
Enable Control (EN)
The device operates when EN is high (>0.7V). In
shutdown mode with a low EN voltage, the
regulator stops switching and halts all internal
control circuitry, and the DIS-FET turns off as
well. This isolates the load from the input, so the
output voltage can drop below the input voltage
during shutdown.

Current Limit
The MP3416 usescurrent limit to prevent
aninductor current runaway. If the inductor
current triggersthe current limit, the LS-FET is
turned off immediately. When the load current
increases, the inductor current triggersthe limit
level and limits the output energy. To prevent the
LS-FET from running away, the max turn on time
is limited to 10µs.
Short-Circuit and Overload Protection
Unlike most step-up converters, the MP3416
allows for short circuits on the output. In the
event of a short circuit, the MP3416 enters
hiccup protection.During an overload, VOUT may
drop to about 1.6V.If the load continues
increasing, the MP3416 enters hiccup protection.
If overload is defined as VOUT higher than 1.6V
but still smaller than VIN+0.2V,the MP3416
treatsthis as down mode operation with current
limit.The internal temperature of the MP3416
may rise,causing the device to enter OTP.

Low Battery Detection
The MP3416 includes one LBI pin to detect the
battery voltage, andthe function is active only
when the device is enabled. LBI is connected to
VIN through the externalresistor divider. If the LBI
voltage is lower than 0.4V, LBO goes low to
indicate the power failure. During application, the
LBI voltage should always be higher than
0.2V;otherwise, the LBO function may indicate
falsely.
Thermal Protection
The device has an internal temperature monitor.
If the die temperature exceeds 155°C, the part
stop working and restartswhen the die
temperature drops below 135°C.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Setting the Output Voltage
The external resistor divider sets the output
voltage (see the Typical Application schematic
on page 1). The feedback resistor (R1) must
account for both stability and dynamic response
and should therefore be chosen carefully.
Choose R1, and then calculate R2with Equation
(1):

Where VFB=0.504V.
The feedback circuit is shown in Figure 2.

Input Capacitor Selection
Low ESR input capacitors reduce input switching
noise and peak current drawn from the battery.
Ceramic capacitors are recommended for input
decoupling and should be located as close to the
deviceas possible. A ceramic capacitor 10μF or
larger is recommended to restrain the VIN ripple.
MP3416 Rev.1.0
12/14/2016
Considering the efficiency and output ripple, a
1.5μH to 3.3μH inductor is recommended for
most applications.
The inductor should have a low DCR to reduce
resistive power loss. The saturated current (ISAT)
should be large enough to support the peak
current.

Inductor Selection
The MP3416 can apply small surface-mounted
chip inductors due to the 1.1A peak current.
Because of the peak current and boundary
conduction mode (BCM) control method, the
values of the inductance affect the switching
frequency. A larger inductance causes lower
switching frequency and increases output
ripple.A smaller inductance causes higher
switching frequency and decreases efficiency.
The output capacitor requires a minimum
capacitance value of 22μF at the programmed
output voltage to ensure stability over the full
operating range. A higher capacitance value
may be required to lower the output ripple and
transient response. Low ESR capacitors such as
X5R or X7R type ceramic capacitors are
recommended. Supposing that ESR is zero, the
minimum output capacitor to support the ripple in
the boost mode can be calculated with Equation
(2):
Co
Io ( V OUT (MAX ) VIN(MIN ) )
VOUT (MAX ) V fS(MIN )
(2)
WhereVOUT(MAX)is the maximum output voltage,
VIN(MIN) is the minimum input voltage, IOis the
output current, fS(MIN)is the minimum switching
frequency, and ∆V is theacceptable output ripple.

PCB Layout Considerations
Efficient PCB layout is critical for switching
power supplies with a high switching frequency.
A poor layout can result in reduced performance,
EMI problems, resistive loss, and system
instability. For best results, refer to Figure 3 and
Figure 4 and follow the guidelines below.
Bottom Layer
SW
Vout
1) Place the output capacitor as close to OUT
and GND as possible.
2) Place the input capacitor and inductor close
to the IC.
3) Keep the SW trace as short and wide as
possible.
4) Keep the feedback loop far away from noise
sources, such as the SW trace.
5) Keep the feedback divider resistor as close
to FB and GND as possible.
6) Tie the ground return of the input/output
capacitor close to GND witha large GND
copper area.
7) Add GND and vias on the bottom layer if the
top layer GND connection between CIN,
COUT, and IC-GND is narrow.
