Q1 and Q2 along with R3 and R4 form a band gap reference. The input to this circuit completes a feedback path from the high voltage output through a voltage di- vider, and is used as the regulation control input. When the voltage at the FB pin is slightly above 1.22V, comparator X1 disables most of the internal circuitry. Current is then provided by capacitor C2, which slowly discharges until the voltage at the FB pin drops below the lower hysteresis point of X1, about 6mV. X1 then enables the internal circuitry, turns on chip power, and the current in the inductor begins to ramp up. When the current through the driver transistor reaches about 150mA, comparator X2 clears the latch, which turns off the driver tran- sistor for a preset 0.3µs. At the instant of shutoff, inductor current is diverted to the output through diode D1. During this 0.3µs time limit, inductor current decreases while its energy charges C2. THEORY OF OPERATION At the end of the 0.3µs time period, the driver transistor is again allowed to turn on which ramps the current back up to the 150mA level. Comparator X2 clears the latch, its output turns off the driver transistor, and this allows delivery of inductor L1’s stored kinetic energy to C2. This switching action continues until the output capacitor voltage is charged to the point where FB is at band gap (1.22V). When this condition is reached, X1 turns off the internal circuitry and the cycle repeats. The SP4446 contains circuitry to provide protection during startup and while in short-circuit conditions. When FB pin voltage is less than approximately 300mV, the switch off time is increased to about 1.2µs and the current limit is reduced to about 70% of its normal value. While in this mode, the average inductor current is reduced and helps minimize power dissipation in the SP4446, the external inductor and diode.

Mar28-08 SP4446 High Output Voltage Boost Regulator, LCD Bias Regulator © 2008 Exar Corporation inherently low ESR, which will help produce low peak to peak output ripple, and reduce high fre- quency spikes. For the typical application, a 4.7µF input capacitor and a 2.2µF output capacitor are sufficient. The input and output ripple could be further reduced by increasing the value of the input and output capaci- tors. Place all the capacitors as close to the SP4446 as possible for layout. For use as a voltage source, to reduce the output ripple, a small feedforward capacitor (47pF) across the top feedback resistor can be used to provide sufficient overdrive for the error comparator, thus reduce the output ripple. Refer to Table 2 for some suggested low ESR capacitors. MANUF.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

For SP4446, the internal switch will be turned off only after the inductor current reaches the typical DC current limit (ILIM =150mA). However, there is typically a propagation delay of 200nS between the time when the current limit is reached and when the switch is actually turned off. During this 200nS delay, the peak inductor current will in- crease, exceeding the current limit by a small amount. The peak inductor current can be estimated by: IPK = ILIM + VIN (M A X ) • 200nS L The larger the input voltage and the lower the inductor value, the greater the peak current. In selecting an inductor, the saturation current specified for the inductor needs to be greater than the SP4446 peak current to avoid saturating the inductor, which would result in a loss of efficiency and could damage the inductor. Choosing an in- ductor with low DCR decreases power losses and increase efficiency. Refer to Table 1 for some suggested low ESR inductors. MANUF.
