XC9120/XC9121/XC9122 Series
ETR04009-005b
Step-Up DC/DC Controller IC, MAXDUTY: 93%
☆Green Operation Compatible
■GENERAL DESCRIPTION
XC9120/XC9121/XC9122 Series are PWM, PWM/PFM auto/external switching controlled step-up DC/DC converter
controller ICs. Since maximum duty ratio is as large as 93%, the series is the best for the applications used as high step-up
ratios, such as the LCD panels and OLED. In this series, even if it is a high step-up ratio, the output voltage stabilized at high
efficiency can be obtained.
With 0.9V (±2.0%) of reference voltage supply internal, and using external resistors, RFB1 and RFB2, output voltage can be
set up freely within a range of 1.5V to 30V. For a current sense, with the use of RSENSE, ceramic capacitors can be used as
load capacitors and allows for lower output ripple and reduced PCB area requirements.
Control automatically switches from PWM to PFM during light loads with the XC9121 series and the XC9122 series can
switch the control from PWM to PFM using external signals depending on the circuit conditions.
During stand-by (when the CE pin is low), all circuits are shutdown to reduce current consumption to as low as 1.0μA or
less.

Test Conditions: Unless otherwise stated, CL: ceramic, recommended MOSFET should be connected.
When VOUT is set at 15V, VIN=VDD=3.6V.
NOTE:
*1: Although the IC starts step-up operations from a VDD=0.8V, the output voltage and oscillation frequency are stabilized at VDD>1.8V.
Therefore, a VDD of more than 1.8V is recommended when VDD is supplied from VIN or other power sources.
*2: EFFI: {(output voltage) x (output current)} / {(input voltage) x (input current)} x 100
*3: The XC9122 series’ CE pin combines PWM/PFM external switch pin. In the operation state, PWM control becomes effective when the CE
pin is more than VDD-0.2V. When the CE pin is less than VDD-1.0V and more than VCEH, PWM/PFM automatic switching control becomes
effective with 32% duty.

Please place CL and CIN as close as to the VOUT and VDD pins
respectively and also close to the GND pin. Strengthen the wiring
sufficiently.
RSENSE should be removed and shorted when the CL capacitor except
for ceramic or low ESR capacitor is used.

■ OPERATIONAL EXPLANATION
The XC9120/XC9121/XC9122 series consists of a reference voltage source, ramp wave circuit, error amplifier, PWM
comparator, phase compensation circuit, and current limiter circuit.
The series ICs compare, using the error amplifier, the voltage of the internal voltage reference source with the feedback
voltage from the FB pin. Phase compensation is performed on the resulting error amplifier output, to input a signal to the
PWM comparator to determine the turn-on time during PWM operation.
The PWM comparator compares, in terms of voltage level, the signal from the error amplifier with the ramp wave from the
ramp wave circuit and delivers the resulting output to the buffer driver circuit to cause the EXT pin to output a switching duty
cycle. This process is continuously performed to ensure stable output voltage.
Error amplifier is designed to monitor the output voltage, comparing the feedback voltage (FB) with the reference voltage
Vref. In response to feedback of a voltage lower than the reference voltage Vref, the output voltage of the error amp.
decreases.
The circuit generates the internal reference clock. The frequency is set to 100kHz (TYP.).
The ramp wave generator generates a saw-tooth waveform based on outputs from the OSC Generator.
The PWM comparator compares outputs from the error amp. and saw-tooth waveform. When the voltage from the error
amp’s output is low, the external switch will be set to ON.
The circuit generates PFM pulses.
The XC9122 series can switch PWM control and PWM/PFM switching control by external signal. The PWM/PFM automatic
switching control becomes effective when the voltage of the CE pin is less than VDD-1.0V, and the control switches between
PWM and PFM automatically depending on the load. The PWM/PFM control turns into the PFM control when threshold
voltage becomes lower than voltage of error amps. The PWM control becomes effective when the CE pin voltage is more
than VDD-0.2V. Noise is easily reduced with the PWM control since the switching frequency is fixed. Because of this, the
series gives the best control suitable for your application.
The reference voltage, Vref (FB pin voltage) =0.9V, is adjusted and fixed by laser trimming (for output voltage settings,
please refer to the output voltage setting.). Soft-start circuit protects against inrush current, when the power is switched on,
and also protects against voltage overshoot. It should be noted, however, that this circuit does not protect the load capacitor
(CL) form inrush current. With the Vref voltage limited and depending on the input to the error amps, the operation maintains a
balance between the two inputs of the error amps and controls the EXT pin’s ON time so that it does not increase more than
is necessary.
The function controls the operation and shutdown of the IC. When the voltage of the CE pin is 0.2V or less, the mode will be
disable, the channel’s operations will stop and the EXT pin will be kept at a low level (the external N-ch MOSFET will be
OFF). When the IC is in a state of disable, current consumption will be no more than 1.0μA. When the CE pin’s voltage is
0.65V or more, the mode will be enabled and operations will recommence.

■ OPERATIONAL EXPLANATION (Continued)
Output voltage can be set by adding external split resistors. Output voltage is determined by the following
equation, based on the values of RFB1 and RFB2. The sum of RFB1 and RFB2 should normally be 2MΩ.
VOUT = 0.9 x (RFB1 + RFB2) / RFB2
The value of CFB, speed-up capacitor for phase compensation, should result in fzfb = 1/(2×π×CFB×RFB1) equal to
15kHz. Adjustments are required between 5kHz to 30kHz depending on the application, value of inductance (L), and value
of load capacitance (CL).

The circuit of the XC9120 series is organized by a specialized circuit, which reenacts negative feedback of both voltage
and current. Also by insertion of approximately 50mΩ of a low and inexpensive sense resistor as current sense, a high
degree of stability is possible even using a ceramic capacitor, a condition which used to be difficult to achieve. Compared to
a tantalum condenser, because the series can be operated in a very small capacity, it is suited to use of the ceramic
capacitor, which is cheap and small.
