The boost converter is based on a fixed frequency, pulse-width-modulation (PWM) controller using a synchronous rectifier to obtain maximum efficiency. Current mode control with external compensation network makes it easy to stabilize the system and keep maximum flexibility. The linear regulator controller can use to drive the external P-Channel MOSFET switch for load disconnection. It keeps the output voltage regulated even when the input voltage exceeds the nominal output voltage, and keeps the output voltage completely disconnected from input voltage (battery) when the chip is in shutdown mode Soft-start When the chip is enabled. Soft-start is achieved by ramping up the PWM duty from very small to normal operation. The ramping up PWM duty is achieved by sourcing 1uA from error amplifier to the compensation capacitor. When the output voltage is regulated, the PWM duty enters the normal operation, and the error amplifier can sink and source up to 22uA. The soft-start time is set by the following formula : TSS = (1V - 1µA x RCOMP ) x CCOMP 1µA RCOMP and CCOMP are compensation components. Current limit The current of NMOS is sensed cycle by cycle to prevent over current. When over current limit, then the NMOS is off. This state is latched and then reset automatically at next clock cycle. Over voltage When the chip voltage is higher than 6.5V, Switch is off. When the Over Voltage Protection is relieved, the chip operates well again. Thermal protection Thermal protection function is integrated in the chip. When the chip temperature is higher than 180°C, the controllers are shutdown. 20°C is the hysteresis range of temperature to prevent unstable operation when the thermal protection happens. When the thermal protection is relieved, the chip operates well again. www.richtek.com 6 DS9278-04 August 2007 Preliminary Absolute Maximum Ratings l l l l RT9278 (Note 1) l l l l l Supply Voltage, VDD ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7V LX Pin Voltage -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- − 0.3V to 7V The Other pins -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- − 0.3V to 7V Power Dissipation, PD @ TA = 25°C VDFN-10L 3x3 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.43W Package Thermal Resistance (Note 4) VDFN-10L 3x3, θJA --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 70°C/W Lead Temperature (Soldering, 10 sec.)-------------------------------------------------------------------------- 260°C Operation Temperature Range ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ −40°C to 85°C Storage Temperature Range --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- − 65°C to 150°C ESD Susceptibility (Note 2) HBM (Human Body Mode) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2kV Recommended Operating Conditions l l (Note 3) Ambient Temperature Range -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0°C to 70°C Junction Temperature Range -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0°C to 125°C Electrical Characteristics (VBAT = 1.8V, VOUT = 3.3V, TA = 25°C, unless otherwise specified) Parameter Start-Up Voltage Operating Voltage Range, After start-up VOUT Output Voltage Range VOUT Over Voltage Protection Switch-off Current I (VBAT) Shutdown Current Feedback Reference Voltage Switching Frequency Maximum Duty SWN Switch ON Resistance SWP Switch ON Resistance Current Limit Setting Error Amplifier GM Compensation Source Current Compensation Sink Current Symbol VST VBAT VOUT_ADJ ISW OFF IOFF VFB FS D(MAX) Test Conditions IL = 1mA Min -1.1 2.4 ---0.784 ------ Typ 1.5 --6.5 200 0.01 0.8 650 85 210 240 2 Max -5.5 5.5 -350 1 0.816 ------ Units V V V V µA µA V kHz % mΩ mΩ A VOUT = 3.3V, VFB = 0.9V EN Pin = 0V, Open Loop Close Loop, V OUT = 3.3V VOUT = 3.3V VOUT = 3.3V ISW VOUT = 3.3V ---- 0.2 22 22 ---- ms uA uA To be continued DS9278-04 August 2007 www.richtek.com 7 RT9278 Parameter Linear Controller Feedback Voltage for Linear Controller EN Input High Level Threshold EN Input Low Level Threshold Thermal Shutdown Thermal Shutdown Hysterises TSD ∆TSD Preliminary Symbol Test Conditions Min Typ Max Units VLFB --0.4 --- 0.2 --180 20 -1.3 ---- V V V °C °C Note 1.Stresses listed as the above "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device.

To fully utilize its advantages, peripheral components should be appropriately selected. The following information provides basic considerations for component selection. Inductor Selection For a better efficiency in high switching frequency converter, the inductor selection has to use a proper core material such as ferrite core to reduce the core loss and choose low ESR wire to reduce copper loss. The most important point is to prevent the core saturated when handling the maximum peak current. Using a shielded inductor can minimize radiated noise in sensitive applications. The maximum peak inductor current is the maximum input current plus the half of inductor ripple current. The calculated peak current has to be smaller than the current limitation in the electrical characteristics. A typical setting of the inductor ripple current is 20% to 40% of the maximum input current. If the selection is 40% 1 IPK = IIN(MAX) + IRIPPLE = 1.2 × IIN(MAX) 2  (IOUT(MAX) × VOUT  = 1.2 ×    η × VIN(MIN)    The minimum inductance value is derived from the following equation: L= η × IIN(MIN)2 × [VOUT - VIN(MIN)] 0.4 × IOUT(MAX) × VOUT 2 × fOSC Output Capacitor Selection For lower output voltage ripple, low-ESR ceramic capacitors are recommended. The tantalum capacitors can be used as well, but the ESR is bigger than ceramic capacitor. The output voltage ripple consists of two components: one is the pulsating output ripple current flows through the ESR, and the other is the capacitive ripple caused by charging and discharging. VRIPPLE = VRIPPLE(ESR ) + VRIPPLE(C) ≅ IPEAK × ESRCOUT + Output Voltage Setting Referring to application circuits (Figure 6), the output voltage of the switching regulator (VOUT ) can be set with below equation : R2 VOUT = (1 + ) × VFB, R1 VFB = 0.8V (typ.) IPP 2× C× f Linear Regulator Linear Regular MOSFETs Selection The linear controller of RT9278 was designed to drive an external P-Channel MOSFET. The main consideration of pass MOSFETs of linear regulator is package selection for efficient removal of heat. The power dissipation of a linear regulator is Plinear = (VIN-VOUT ) x IOUT (W) Depending on the application, the recommended inductor value is between 2.2µH and 10µH. Input Capacitor Selection For better input bypassing, low-ESR ceramic capacitors are recommended for performance. A 10µF input capacitor is sufficient for most applications. For a lower output power requirement application, this value can be decreased. The criterion for selection of package is the junction temperature below the maximum desired temperature with the maximum expected ambient temperature. Layout Guide l l A f ull GND plane without gap break. VDD to GND noise bypass − Short and wide connection for the 1µF MLCC capacitor between Pin7 and Pin3. VIN to GND noise bypass − Add a capacitor close to L1 inductor, when VIN is not an ideal voltage source. Minimized FB node copper area and keep far away from noise sources. The MOSFETs of linear regulator should have wide pad to dissipate the heat.
