Synchronous Step-Up Converter
Description
Features
The FP6715 is a high efficiency, fixed frequency
550KHz, current mode PWM boost DC/DC converter
which could operate battery such as input voltage
down to 2.5V. The converter output voltage can be
adjusted to a maximum of 5.25V by an external
resistor divider. Besides the converter includes a
0.08Ω N-channel MOSFET switch and 0.12Ω
P-channel synchronous rectifier. So no external
Schottky diode is required and could get better
efficiency near 93%.
The converter is based on a fixed frequency, current
mode, pulse-width-modulation PWM controller that
goes automatically into PSM mode at light load.
When converter operation into discontinuous mode,
the internal anti-ringing switch will reduce
interference and radiated electromagnetic energy.
The FP6715 is available in a space-saving SOT-23-6
package for portable application.

Application Information
Controller Circuit
Device Enable
The device is based on a current-mode control
topology and uses a constant frequency
pulse-width modulator to regulate the output
voltage. The controller limits the current through
the power switch on a pulse by pulse basis. The
current sensing circuit is integrated in the device;
therefore, no additional components are required.
Due to the nature of the boost converter topology
used here, the peak switch current is the same as
the peak inductor current, which will be limited by
the integrated current limiting circuits under normal
operating conditions.
The device will be shut down when EN is set to
GND. In this mode, the regulator stops switching,
all internal control circuitry including the low-battery
comparator will be switched off, and the load will be
disconnected from the input (as described in above
synchronous rectifier section). This also means
that the output voltage may drop below the input
voltage during shutdown.
The device is put into operation when EN is set
high. During start-up of the converter, the duty
cycle is limited in order to avoid high peak currents
drawn from the battery. The limit is set internally
by the current limit circuit.
Synchronous Rectifier
The device integrates an N-channel and a Pchannel MOSFET transistor to realize a
synchronous rectifier.
There is no additional
Schottky diode required. Because the device
uses a integrated low RDS(ON) PMOS switch for
rectification, the power conversion efficiency
reaches 93%.
A special circuit is applied to disconnect the load
from the input during shutdown of the converter.
In conventional synchronous rectifier circuits, the
backgate diode of the high-side PMOS is forward
biased in shutdown and allows current flowing from
the battery to the output. This device, however,
uses a special circuit to disconnect the backgate
diode of the high-side PMOS and so, disconnects
the output circuitry from the source when the
regulator is not enabled (EN=low).
PSM Mode
The FP6715 is designed for high efficiency over
wide output current range. Even at light load, the
efficiency stays high because the switching losses
of the converter are minimized by effectively
reducing the switching frequency. The controller
will enter a power saving mode if certain conditions
are met. In this mode, the controller only switches
on the transistor if the output voltage trips below a
set threshold voltage. It ramps up the output
voltage with one or several pulses, and goes again
into PSM mode once the output voltage exceeds a
set threshold voltage.
FP6715-Preliminary 0.1-MAY-2013
Anti-Ringing Switch
The device integrates a circuit which removes
the ringing that typically appears on the SW node
when the converter enters the discontinuous
current mode. In this case, the current through
the inductor ramps to zero and the integrated
PMOS switch turns off to prevent a reverse
current from the output capacitors back to the
battery. Due to remaining energy that is stored
in parasitic components of the semiconductors
and the inductor, a ringing on the SW pin is
induced.
The integrated anti-ringing switch
clamps this voltage internally to VIN; therefore,
dampens this ringing.
Adjustable Output Voltage
The accuracy of the output voltage is determined by
the accuracy of the internal voltage reference, the
controller topology, and the accuracy of the external
resistor. The reference voltage has an accuracy of
± 2%.
The controller switches between fixed
frequency and PSM mode, depending on load
current. The tolerance of the resistors in the
feedback divider determines the total system
accuracy.
Design Procedure
The FP6715 boost converter family is intended for
systems that are powered by a single-cell Ion
battery with a typical terminal voltage between 3V
to 4.2V.

Application Information (Continued)
(1) Programming the Output Voltage
The output voltage of the FP6715 can be
adjusted with an external resistor divider. The
typical value of the voltage on the FB pin is
800mV in fixed frequency operation.
The
maximum allowed value for the output voltage is
5.5V. The current through the resistive divider
should be about 100 times greater than the
current into the FB pin. The typical current into
the FB pin is 0.01µA, and the voltage across R2
is typically 800mV. Based on those two values,
the recommended value for R2 is in the range of
800kΩ in order to set the divider current at 1µA.
From that, the value of resistor R1, depending
on the needed output voltage (VO), can be
calculated using Equation 1.

(2) Inductor Selection
A boost converter normally requires two main
passive components for storing energy during
the conversion. A boost inductor is required
and a storage capacitor at the output. To select
the boost inductor, it is recommended to keep
the possible peak inductor current below the
current limit threshold of the power switch in the
chosen configuration.
The second parameter for choosing the inductor
is the desired current ripple in the inductor.
Normally, it is advisable to work with a ripple of
less than 20% of the average inductor current.
A smaller ripple reduces the magnetic hysteresis
losses in the inductor, as well as output voltage
ripple and EMI. But in the same way, regulation
time at load changes rises. In addition, a larger
inductor increases the total system cost. With
those parameters, it is possible to calculate the
value for the inductor by using Equation 2.

O T-

(3) Capacitor Selection
The major parameter necessary to define the
output capacitor is the maximum allowed output
voltage ripple of the converter. This ripple is
determined by two parameters of the capacitor,
the capacitance and the ESR. It is possible to
calculate the minimum capacitance needed for
the defined ripple, supposing that the ESR is zero,
by using Equation 3.

O T
O TO T
N
…..(3)
Parameter f is the switching frequency and △V is
the maximum allowed ripple.
The total ripple is larger due to the ESR of the
output capacitor. This additional component of
the ripple can be calculated using Equation 4.
ESR
O T
RESR …..(4)
The total ripple is the sum of the ripple caused by
the capacitance and the ripple caused by the ESR
of the capacitor. It is possible to improve the
design by enlarging the capacitor or using smaller
capacitors in parallel to reduce the ESR or by using
better capacitors with lower ESR, like ceramics.
Tradeoffs must be made between performance and
costs of the converter circuit.
A 10µF input capacitor is recommended to
improve transient behavior of the regulator. A
ceramic or tantalum capacitor with a 100nF in
parallel placed close to the IC is recommended.
…..(2)
Parameter is the switching requency and Δ L is
the ripple current in the inductor, i.e, 20% x IL.
With this calculated value and currents, it is
possible to choose a suitable inductor. Care must
be taken that load transients and losses in the
circuit can lead to higher currents. Also, the
losses in the inductor caused by magnetic
hysteresis losses and copper losses are a major
parameter for total circuit efficiency.

Layout Considerations
As for all switching power supplies, the layout is an
important step in the design, especially at high peak
currents and high switching frequencies. If the
layout is not carefully done, the regulator could
show stability problems as well as EMI problems.
Therefore, use wide and short traces for the main
current path as indicated in bold in Figure 4. The
input capacitor, output capacitor and the inductor
should be placed as close to the IC as possible.
Use a common ground node as shown in Figure 4
to minimize the effects of ground noise. The
feedback divider should be placed as close to the IC
as possible.
