DATA SHEET BiCMOS INTEGRATED CIRCUIT µ PC1934 DC-DC CONVERTER CONTROL IC DESCRIPTION The µ PC1934 is an IC that controls a low-voltage input DC-DC converter. This IC is suitable for an operation with 3-V, 3.3-V input or a lithium ion secondary battery input, because the minimum operation supply voltage is 2.5 V. Because of its wide operating voltage range, it can also be used to control DC-DC converters that use an AC adapter for input. FEATURES • Low supply voltage: 2.5 V (MIN.) • Operating voltage range: 2.5 to 20 V (breakdown voltage: 30 V) • Timer latch circuit for short-circuit protection. • Ceramic capacitor with low capacitance (0.1 µ F) can be used for short-circuit protection. • Open drain outputs (Each of the outputs can be used to control a step-down converter, a step-up converter and an inverted converter.) • Can control two output channels.

CONFIGURATION AND OPERATION OF EACH BLOCK Figure 2-1 Block Diagram 2 1 Oscillation section DTC1 FB1 II1 IN1 DTC2 FB2 II2 IN2 6 5 4 3 11 12 13 14 Error amplifier PWM comparator VREF 16 Under voltage lock-out section Output section Error amplifier PWM comparator Output section RT CT 7 OUT1 10 OUT2 VCC 9 Reference voltage section SCP comparator Q1 0.63 V DLY Q2 S Q 8 Q GND 15 CDLY Timer latch for short-circuit protection section 2.1 Reference Voltage Generator The reference voltage generator is comprised of a band-gap reference circuit, and outputs a temperature-compensated reference voltage (2.1 V). The reference voltage can be used as the power supply for internal circuits, or as a reference voltage, and can also be accessed externally via the VREF pin (pin 16). 2.2 Oscillator The oscillator self-oscillates if a timing resistor is attached to the RT pin (pin 2). Also, the oscillator outputs the symmetrical triangular waveform if a timing capacitor is attached to the CT pin (pin 1). This oscillator waveform is input to the non-inverted input pins of the two PWM comparators to determine the oscillation frequency. 10 Data Sheet G13567EJ3V0DS00 µ PC1934 2.3 Under Voltage Lock-out Circuit The under voltage lock-out circuit prevents malfunctioning of the internal circuits when the supply voltage is low, such as when the supply voltage is first applied, or when the power supply is interrupted. When the voltage is low, the two output transistors are cut off at the same time. 2.4 Error Amplifiers The circuits of the error amplifiers E/A1 and E/A2 are exactly the same. The first stage of the error amplifier is a Pchannel MOS transistor input. Be careful of the input voltage ranges (the common mode input voltage ranges are all 0 to 0.4 V (TYP .)). 2.5 PWM Comparators The output ON duty is controlled according to the outputs of the error amplifiers and the voltage input to the Dead Time Control pin. A triangular waveform is input to the non-inverted pin, and the error amplifier output and Dead Time Control pin voltage are input to the inverted pins of the PWM comparators. Therefore, the output transistor ON period is the period when the triangular waveform is higher than the error amplifier output and Dead Time Control pin voltage (refer to Timing Charts). 2.6 Timer Latch-Method Short Circuit Protection Circuit When the converter outputs either a channel or both channels drop, the FB outputs of the error amplifiers of those outputs go low. If the FB output goes lower than the timer latch input detection voltage (VTH = 0.63 V)), then the output of the SCP comparator goes low, and Q1 goes off. When Q1 turns OFF, the constant-current supply charges CDLY via the DLY pin. The DLY pin is internally connected to a flip-flop. When the DLY pin voltage reaches the UV detection voltage (VUV = 0.8 V (TYP the output Q of the flip-flop goes .)), low, and the output stage of each channel is latched to OFF (refer to Figure 2-1 Block Diagram). Make the power supply voltage briefly less than the reset voltage (VCCR, 1.0 V TYP to reset the latch circuit when the .) short-circuit protection circuit has operated. 2.7 Output Circuit The output circuit has an N-channel open-drain output providing an output withstand voltage of 30 V (absolute maximum rating), and an output current of 21 mA (absolute maximum rating). Data Sheet G13567EJ3V0DS00 11 µ PC1934 3. NOTES ON USE 3.1 Setting the Output Voltage Figure 3-1 illustrates the method of setting the output voltage. The output voltage is obtained using the formula shown in the figure. The common mode input voltage range of the error amplifier is 0 to 0.4 V (TYP for both the error amplifiers, E/A1 and .) E/A2. Therefore, select a resistor value that gives this voltage range. Figure 3-1 Setting the Output Voltage (1) When setting a positive output voltage using error amplifier E/A1.

The formula below (3-1) gives an approximation of fOSC. However, the result of formula 3-1 is only an approximation, and the value must be confirmed in actual operation, especially for high-frequency operation. fOSC [Hz] ≅ 0.375/(CT [F] x RT [Ω]) (3-1) 3.3 Preventing Malfunction of the Timer Latch-Method Short Circuit Protection Circuit The timer latch short-circuit protection circuit operates when the error amplifier outputs (pin 5 and 12) goes below approximately 0.63 V, and cuts off the output. However, if the rise of the power supply voltage is fast, or if there is noise on the DLY pin (pin 15), the latch circuit may malfunction and cut the output off. To prevent this, lower the wiring impedance between the DLY pin and the GND pin (pin 8), and avoid applying noise to the DLY pin. 3.4 Connecting Unused Error Amplifiers When one of the two control circuits is used, connect the circuit so that the output of the error amplifier of unused circuit is high. Figure 3-2 shows examples of how to connect unused error amplifiers.

The PWM converter can be turned ON/OFF by controlling the level of the DTC pin. However, it is necessary to keep the level of the FB output high so that the timer latch does not start when the PWM converter is OFF. In this circuit example, the FB output level is controlled by controlling the level of the II pin. Figure 3-3 ON/OFF Control VO VREF FB II – R1 R5 SCP comparator (common to each channel) + – DLY Q CDLY Q3 R2 R6 IN Error 0.3 V amplifier + 0.63 V VREF Q2 R3 C1 DTC ON Q1 R4 – – + To output stage PWM comparator Oscillation section (common to each channel) (1) When ON is high: OFF status Q1: ON → Q2: ON → DTC pin: High level → Output duty of PWM comparator: 0 % Q3: ON → II pin: Low level → FB output: High level → SCP comparator output: High level → Q is ON. → Timer latch stops. (2) When ON3 is low: ON status Q1: OFF → Q2 is OFF → C1 is charged in the sequence of [VREF → C1 → R4] → DTC pin voltage drops. → Soft start . Q3: OFF → II pin: High level → FB output: Low level → SCP comparator output: Low level → Q: OFF → Charging CDLY starts (timer latch start). Caution Keep the high-level voltage of the DTC pin at 1.6 V or higher and the low-level voltage of the II pin within (R6/(R5+R6))•VREF. The maximum voltage that is applied to the II pin must be equal to or lower than VREF. 3.6 Notes on Actual Pattern Wiring When actually carrying out the pattern wiring, it is necessary to separate control-related grounds and power-related grounds, and make sure that they do not share impedances as far as possible. In addition, make sure the high-frequency impedance is lowered using capacitors and other components to prevent noise input to the VREF pin. 14 Data Sheet G13567EJ3V0DS00 µ PC1934 4.

Steps must be taken to stop generation of static electricity as much as possible, and quickly dissipate it once, when it has occurred. Environmental control must be adequate. When it is dry, humidifier should be used. It is recommended to avoid using insulators that easily build static electricity. Semiconductor devices must be stored and transported in an anti-static container, static shielding bag or conductive material. All test and measurement tools including work bench and floor should be grounded. The operator should be grounded using wrist strap. Semiconductor devices must not be touched with bare hands. Similar precautions need to be taken for PW boards with semiconductor devices on it. 2 HANDLING OF UNUSED INPUT PINS Note: No connection for device inputs can be cause of malfunction. If no connection is provided to the input pins, it is possible that an internal input level may be generated due to noise, etc., hence causing malfunction. Input levels of devices must be fixed high or low by using a pull-up or pulldown circuitry. Each unused pin should be connected to V DD o r GND with a resistor, if it is considered to have a possibility of being an output pin. All handling related to the unused pins must be judged device by device and related specifications governing the devices. 3 STATUS BEFORE INITIALIZATION OF BiCMOS DEVICES Note: Power-on does not necessarily define initial status of device. Production process of BiCMOS does not define the initial operation status of the device. Immediately after the power source is turned ON, the devices with reset function have not yet been initialized. Hence, power-on does not guarantee out-pin levels, I/O settings or contents of registers. Device is not initialized until the reset signal is received. Reset operation must be executed immediately after power-on for devices having reset function.
