NCP1400A
100 mA, Fixed Frequency
PWM Step-Up Micropower
Switching Regulator
The NCP1400A series are micropower step−up DC to DC
converters that are specifically designed for powering portable
equipment from one or two cell battery packs. These devices are
designed to startup with a cell voltage of 0.8 V and operate down to
less than 0.2 V. With only four external components, this series allows
a simple means to implement highly efficient converters that are
capable of up to 100 mA of output current.
Each device consists of an on−chip fixed frequency oscillator, pulse
width modulation controller, phase compensated error amplifier that
ensures converter stability with discontinuous mode operation,
soft−start, voltage reference, driver, and power MOSFET switch with
current limit protection. Additionally, a chip enable feature is provided
to power down the converter for extended battery life.
The NCP1400A device series are available in the TSOP−5 package
with seven standard regulated output voltages. Additional voltages
that range from 1.8 V to 4.9 V in 100 mV steps can be manufactured.

NCP1400A
DETAILED OPERATING DESCRIPTION
Operation
Compensation
The NCP1400A series are monolithic power switching
regulators optimized for applications where power drain
must be minimized. These devices operate as fixed
frequency, voltage mode boost regulator and is designed to
operate in the discontinuous conduction mode. Potential
applications include low powered consumer products and
battery powered portable products.
The NCP1400A series are low noise fixed frequency
voltage−mode PWM DC−DC converters, and consist of
soft−start circuit, feedback resistor, reference voltage,
oscillator, loop compensation network, PWM control
circuit, current limit circuit and power switch. Due to the
on−chip feedback resistor and loop compensation network,
the system designer can get the regulated output voltage
from 1.8 V to 5.0 V with a small number of external
components. The quiescent current is typically 32 mA
(VOUT = 2.7 V), and can be further reduced to about 1.5 mA
when the chip is disabled (VCE t 0.3 V).
The device is designed to operate in discontinuous
conduction mode. An internal compensation circuit was
designed to guarantee stability over the full input/output
voltage and full output load range. Stability cannot be
guaranteed in continuous conduction mode.
Current Limit
The NCP1400A series utilizes cycle−by−cycle current
limiting as a means of protecting the output switch
MOSFET from overstress and preventing the small value
inductor from saturation. Current limiting is implemented
by monitoring the output MOSFET current build−up during
conduction, and upon sensing an overcurrent conduction
immediately turning off the switch for the duration of the
oscillator cycle.
The voltage across the output MOSFET is monitored and
compared against a reference by the VLX limiter. When the
threshold is reached, a signal is sent to the PWM controller
block to terminate the output switch conduction. The current
limit threshold is typically set at 350 mA.
Soft−Start
There is a soft−start circuit in NCP1400A. When power is
applied to the device, the soft−start circuit pumps up the
output voltage to approximately 1.5 V at a fixed duty cycle,
the level at which the converter can operate normally. What
is more, the startup capability with heavy loads is also
improved.
Enable/Disable Operation
The NCP1400A series offer IC shutdown mode by chip
enable pin (CE pin) to reduce current consumption. An
internal 150 nA pull−up current source tied the CE pin to
OUT pin by default, i.e., user can float the pin CE for
permanent “On’’. When voltage at pin CE is equal or greater
than 0.9 V, the chip will be enabled, which means the
regulator is in normal operation. When voltage at pin CE is
less than 0.3 V, the chip is disabled, which means IC is
shutdown.
Important: DO NOT apply a voltage between 0.3 V to
0.9 V to pin CE as this voltage will place the IC into an
undefined state and the IC may drain excessive current
from the supply.
Oscillator
The oscillator frequency is internally set to 180 kHz at an
accuracy of "20% and with low temperature coefficient of
0.11%/°C. Figures 16 and 17 illustrate oscillator frequency
versus temperature.
Regulated Converter Voltage (VOUT)
The VOUT is set by an internal feedback resistor network.
This is trimmed to a selected voltage from 1.8 V to 5.0 V
range in 100 mV steps with an accuracy of "2.5%.
Note: When the duty cycle is less than about 12%, the
regulator will skip switching cycles to maintain high
efficiency at light loads. The regulated output will be raised
by 3 to 4% under this condition.

Step−up Converter Design Equations
Diode
General step−up DC−DC converter designed to operate in
discontinuous conduction mode can be defined by:
The diode is the largest source of loss in DC−DC
converters. The most importance parameters which affect
their efficiency are the forward voltage drop, VF , and the
reverse recovery time, trr. The forward voltage drop creates
a loss just by having a voltage across the device while a
current flowing through it. The reverse recovery time
generates a loss when the diode is reverse biased, and the
current appears to actually flow backwards through the
diode due to the minority carriers being swept from the P−N
junction. A Schottky diode with the following
characteristics is recommended:
Small forward voltage, VF t 0.3 V
Small reverse leakage current
Fast reverse recovery time/switching speed
Rated current larger than peak inductor current,
Irated u IPK
Reverse voltage larger than output voltage,
Vreverse u VOUT

External Component Selection
Input Capacitor
Inductor
The input capacitor can stabilize the input voltage and
minimize peak current ripple from the source. The value of
the capacitor depends on the impedance of the input source
used. Small Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) Tantalum
or ceramic capacitor with value of 10 mF should be suitable.
Inductance values between 18 mH and 27 mH are the best
suitable values for NCP1400A. In general, smaller
inductance values can provide larger peak inductor current
and output current capability, and lower conversion
efficiency, and vice versa. Select an inductor with smallest
possible DCR, usually less than 1.0 W, to minimize loss. It
is necessary to choose an inductor with saturation current
greater than the peak current which the inductor will
encounter in the application. The inductor selected should be
able to handle the worst case peak inductor current without
saturation.
Output Capacitor
The output capacitor is used for sustaining the output
voltage when the internal MOSFET is switched on and
smoothing the ripple voltage. Low ESR capacitor should be
used to reduce output ripple voltage. In general, a 47 mF to
68 mF low ESR (0.15 W to 0.30 W) Tantalum capacitor
should be appropriate.

PCB Layout Hints
Grounding
efficiency (short and thick traces for connecting the inductor
L can also reduce stray inductance), e.g. short and thick
traces listed below are used in the evaluation board:
1. Trace from TP1 to L1
2. Trace from L1 to Lx pin of U1
3. Trace from L1 to anode pin of D1
4. Trace from cathode pin of D1 to TP2
One point grounding should be used for the output power
return ground, the input power return ground, and the device
switch ground to reduce noise as shown in Figure 44, e.g.:
C2 GND, C1 GND, and U1 GND are connected at one point
in the evaluation board. The input ground and output ground
traces must be thick enough for current to flow through and
for reducing ground bounce.
Output Capacitor
Power Signal Traces
The output capacitor should be placed close to the output
terminals to obtain better smoothing effect on the output
ripple.
Low resistance conducting paths should be used for the
power carrying traces to reduce power loss so as to improve
