SC1631-5CS

LOW VOLTAGE STEP-UP DC-DC CONVERTER January 29, 1998 SC1631 TEL:805-498-2111 FAX:805-498-3804 WEB:http://www.semtech.com DESCRIPTION The SC1631 is a high efficiency step up DC-DC converter. Only four external components are required to deliver a fixed voltage of 3V, 3.3V, or 5V. Efficiency beyond 87% can be easily achieved at 100mA load with 2.2V to 3V input voltages. A logic-controlled shutdown mode is provided for power saving. Switch current limit can be programmed with a resistor. The low battery detector can be configured as a linear regulator or a burst mode controller providing extremely low supply current operation. A switching rate of 120kHz reduces the inductor size inductors of 25µH to 50µH are recommended for most applications. FEATURES • High efficiency 90% • Power-saving shutdown mode (7µA typical) • Internal 2A switch • 120kHz switching rate • Adjustable switch current limit • On-chip low battery detector APPLICATIONS • Palmtop and notebook computers • Pocket organizers • Cameras • Pagers • Battery backup supplies • Portable instruments BLOCK DIAGRAM ORDERING INFORMATION DEVICE (1) OUTPUT VOLTAGE 3.3V 3.0V 5.0V PACKAGE SO-8 SC1631CS SC1631-3CS SC1631-5CS Note: (1) Add suffix ‘TR’ for tape and reel.

It serves to protect the IC and inductor, as well as to improve efficiency and output ripple. However, the supply capability of the SC1631 is limited by the current limit resistor (see typical performance characteristics). The ILIM/SD pin should be shorted to VIN if limiting switch peak current is not required. (2) The SC1631 goes into shutdown mode and consumes less than 10µA when the ILIM/SD pin is pulled to ground. PIN 2: VIN PIN 3: SW Input supply. Drain of the power switch, to be connected to the inductor and diode. PIN 5: CGND Ground for control circuits of the IC. It should be separated from SGND to avoid interference. PIN 6: LBO Open drain output of the battery low detector, with 45 Ohm “On Resistance” at VIN=2V. It is pulled low when the voltage on the LBI pin is below 1.22 volts. The inverting input of the battery low detector, of which the non-inverting input is internally connected to the 1.22V voltage reference. The output voltage feeds back to the IC through this pin. PIN 7: LBI PIN 8: VOUT PIN 4: SGND Ground connected to the source of the power switch. PIN CONFIGURATION © 1997 SEMTECH CORP. 652 MITCHELL ROAD NEWBURY PARK CA 91320
