4~5mV 2-STEP PFM CONTROLLED OSC 100/155kHz VLX LIMITER BUFFER VSS LX EXT CE CHIP ENABLE 50 mA boost converter using Pulse Frequency Modulation, or PFM, technique, in 5-lead SOT-89 or a 5-lead SOT-23 package. Only 3 external components are needed to com- plete the switcher design. The ILC6390 automatically senses load variations to choose between 55% and 75% duty cycles. Normal operation is 55% duty at 155kHz; when load currents exceed the internal com- parator trip point, a “turbo mode” kicks in to provide extend- ed on-time switching (75% duty at 100kHz oscillation). Requiring only 30µA of supply current, the ILC6390 achieves efficiencies as high as 85% at 5V yet shuts down to 0.5µA max. Standard voltages offered are 2.5, 3.3, and 5.0V and is available in both a 5 lead SOT-23 and 5 lead SOT-89 pack- age for small footprint applications. In addition, the ILC6391 is configured to drive an external transistor to achieve higher power levels.

SOT-89 Step-Up PFM Switcher with Auto-Load Sense Impala Linear Corporation 5(408) 574-3939 www.impalalinear.com Feb 2001 ILC6390 1.1 The ILC6390 performs boost DC-DC conversion by controlling the switch element shown in the circuit below. When the switch is closed, current is built up through the inductor. When the switch opens, this current has to go somewhere and is forced through the diode to the output. As this on and off switch- ing continues, the output capacitor voltage builds up due to the charge it is storing from the inductor current. In this way, the out- put voltage gets boosted relative to the input. The ILC6390 mon- itors the voltage on the output capacitor to determine how much and how often to drive the switch. In general, the switching characteristic is determined by the output voltage desired and the current required by the load. Specifically the energy transfer is determined by the power stored in the coil during each switching cycle. P L = ƒ(tON, VIN) The ILC6390 and ILC6391 use a PFM or Pulse Frequency Modulation technique. In this technique, the switch is always turned on for a fixed period of time, corresponding to a fixed switching frequency at a predefined duty cycle. For the ILC6390 this value is 3.55msec on time, corresponding to 55% duty cycle at 155kHz. Because the inductor value, capacitor size, and switch on-time and frequency are all fixed, the ILC6390 in essence delivers the same amount of power to the output during each switching cycle. This in turn creates a constant output voltage ramp which is dependent on the output load requirement. In this mode, the only difference between the PFM and PWM techniques is the duty cycle of the switch. Once the output voltage reaches the set point, the ILC6390 will shut off the switch oscillator and wait until the output voltage drops low again, at which point it will re-start the oscillator. As you can see in the diagram, the PFM boost converter actually skips pulses as a way of varying the amount of power being deliv- ered to the output. Because of this, PFM is sometimes called “Pulse Skipping Modulation.” The chief advantage of using a PFM technique is that, at low cur- rents, the switcher is able to maintain regulation without con- stantly driving a switch on and off. This power savings can be 5mA or more for the ILC6390 versus the ILC6370, and at very light loads this current difference can make a noticeable impact on overall efficiency. However, because the ILC6390 will skip pulses based on load current, the effective frequency of switching may well drop into the audio band. This means that the radiated noise of the ILC6390 may interfere with the audio channel of the system and additional filtering may be necessary. In addition, because the PFM on-time is fixed, it usually has higher output ripple voltage than the PWM switcher, which dynamically changes the on-time to match the load current requirements. [ Ripple is due to the output cap constantly accepting and storing the charge received from the induc- tor, and delivering charge as required by the load. The “pumping” action of the switch produces a sawtooth- shaped voltage as seen by the output. ] On the plus side, because pulses are skipped, overtone content of the frequency noise is lower than in a PWM configuration. The sum of these characteristics for PFM converters makes it the ideal choice for low-current or ultra-long runtime applications, where overall conversion efficiency at low currents is of primary concern. [For other conversion techniques, please see the ILC6370/71 and ILC6380/81 datasheets.] Dual-Step Mode The ILC6390 and ILC6391 have one other unique feature, that being to automatically switch to a second switching scheme in the presence of heavy output loading. As we mentioned, the stan- dard switching scheme for these parts is a 3.55msec, 155kHz, 55% duty cycle part. However, if the device detects that the out- put load increases beyond a set point (as seen by the voltage drop on the output capacitor), it switches in a 7.5msec, 100kHz, 75% duty cycle “turbo mode” specifically to keep up with the increased load demand. This switchover is seamless to the user, but will result in a change in the output ripple voltage characteris- tic of the DC-DC converter. PFM converters are widely used in portable consumer applica- tions not requiring a high current level and relatively unaffected by audio noise. Applications such as pagers and PDAs, which need to operate in stand-by for extended periods of time, gravitate toward the advantages of PFM since maximum run-time is a chief differentiating element. The ILC6390 addresses this low-current requirement, and additionally offers a “turbo” mode which main- tains output regulation in the presence of heavier-than-normal load currents, and maintains 0.5mA shutdown currents. The only difference between the ILC6390 and ILC6391 parts is that the 6391 is configured to drive an external transistor as the switch element. Since larger transistors can be selected for this element, higher effective loads can be regulated. VSET VOUT Switch Waveform

SOT-89 Step-Up PFM Switcher with Auto-Load Sense Impala Linear Corporation 6(408) 574-3939 www.impalalinear.com Feb 2001 ILC6390 1.1 External Components and Layout Consideration The ILC6390 is designed to provide a complete DC-DC converter solution with a minimum of external components. Ideally, only three externals are required: the inductor, a pass diode, and an output capacitor. The inductor needs to be of low DC Resistance type, typically 1 Ω value. Toroidal wound inductors have better field containment (less high frequency noise radiated out) but tend to be more expensive. Some manufacturers like Coilcraft have new bobbin-wound induc- tors with shielding included, which may be an ideal fit for these applications. Contact the manufacturer for more information. The inductor size needs to be in the range of 47mH to 1mH. In general, larger inductor sizes deliver less current, so the load cur- rent will determine the inductor size used. For load currents higher than 10mA, use an inductor from 47mH to 100mH. [ The 100mH inductor shown in the datasheet is the most typical used for this application. ] For load currents of around 5mA, such as pagers, use an inductor in the range of 100mH to 330mH. 220mH is the most typical value used here. For lighter loads, an inductor of up to 1mH can be used. The use of a larger inductor will increase overall conversion efficiency, due to the reduction in switching currents through the device. For the ILC6391, using an external transistor, the use of a 47mH inductor is recommended based on our experience with the part. The capacitor should, in general, always be tantalum type, as tan- talum has much better ESR and temperature stability than other capacitor types. NEVER use electrolytics or chemical caps, as the C-value changes below 0×C so much as to make the overall design unstable. Different C-values will directly impact the ripple seen on the output at a given load current, due to the direct charge-to-voltage rela- tionship of this element. Different C-values will also indirectly affect system reliability, as the lifetime of the capacitor can be degraded by constant high current influx and outflux. Running a capacitor near its maximum rated voltage can deteriorate lifetime as well; this is especially true for tantalum caps which are particularly sen- sitive to overvoltage conditions. In general, then, this capacitor should always be 47mF, Tantalum, 16V rating. The diode must be of shottkey type for fast recovery and minimal loss. A diode rated at greater than 200mA and maximum voltage greater than 30V is recommended for the fastest switching time and best reliability over time. Different diodes may introduce dif- ferent levels of high frequency switching noise into the output waveform, so trying out several sources may make the most sense for your system. For the IL6391, much of the component selection is as described above, with the addition of the external NPN transistor and the base drive network. The transistor needs to be of NPN type, and should be rated for currents of 2A or more. [ This translates to lower effective on resistance and, therefore, higher overall effi- ciencies.] The base components should remain at 1k Ω and 3300pF; any changes need to be verified prior to implementation. As for actual physical component layout, in general, the more compact the layout is, the better the overall performance will be. It is important to remember that everything in the circuit depends on a common and solid ground reference. Ground bounce can direct- ly affect the output regulation and presents difficult behavior to predict. Keeping all ground traces wide will eliminate ground bounce problems. It is also critical that the ground pin of C L and the V SS pin of the device be the same point on the board, as this capacitor serves two functions: that of the output load capacitor, and that of the input supply bypass capacitor. Layouts for DC-DC converter designs are critical for overall per- formance, but following these simple guidelines can simplify the task by avoiding some of the more common mistakes made in these cases. Once actual performance is completed, though, be sure to double-check the design on actual manufacturing proto- type product to verify that nothing has changed which can affect the performance.
