Description

The MCP1641X Step-up DC-DC Converters family provides an automatic input-to-output voltage bypass operation, which helps optimize battery utilization and achieve high efficiency, while the nominal voltage of fresh batteries remains in the same range with the converter's output value. The MCP1641X can be powered by either single-cell, two-cell alkaline/NiMH batteries or single-cell Li-Ion/Li-Polymer batteries.

A low-voltage designed architecture allows the regulator to start up without high inrush current or output voltage overshoot from a low input voltage. The start-up voltage is easily programmed by a resistive divider connected to the UVLO pin. If the resistive divider is not used, the default start-up voltage is 0.85V. The 0.8V built-in UVLO STOP helps prevent deep discharge of the alkaline battery, which can cause battery leakage. An open-drain Low Battery Output (LBO) pin warns the user to replace the battery if the input voltage ramps down to the programmed UVLO START value.

The MCP1641X family introduces an additional safety feature to a low-voltage boost converter: Overtemperature Output. Devices, such as personal care products, Bluetooth headsets or toys, will benefit from the combined Power Good and Die Overtemperature (PGT) output, which flags a warning signal when the output voltage level drops within 10% or the die temperature exceeds the +75°C (typical). ^(1) Both functions are implemented in the MCP16411/2/3/4 devices (on the same pin, PGT), while the MCP16415/6/7/8 devices have only the Power Good option.

Note 1: Factory programmable from +55°C to +85°C, at +10°C increments, by customer request.

4.1 Undervoltage Lockout Input Pin (UVLO), Input for Low-Voltage Output Comparator

The UVLO and low battery comparator input use an internal 485 mV reference. Connect the UVLO pin to the V_IN pin for a default start-up threshold of 0.85V. The device stops switching at 0.8V typical input voltage. Connect an external resistive divider to this pin to increase the UVLO_START threshold. When the battery voltage or V_IN is ramping down to the programmed threshold, the LBO output pin will be asserted low.

4.2 Low Battery Output Pin (LBO)

The open-drain output shows a low-level warning signal if the UVLO pin detects a battery level below the 485 mV threshold. If no external divider on the UVLO pin is used (UVLO = V_IN ), low battery detection is ineffective.

4.3 Power Good and Die Overtemperature Pin (PGT)

The Power Good and Die Overtemperature (PGT) pin is an open-drain output, which can be connected to V_OUT through a pull-up resistor. The pin switches to a low level when V_OUT drops below 10% of its nominal value or when the internal die's temperature sensor detects a value higher than +75°C (typical).

The MCP16415/6/7/8 devices have only the Power Good function implemented – PG pin (see Table 3-1 for the device options).

4.4 Feedback Voltage Pin (V FB)

The V_FB pin is used to provide output voltage regulation by using a resistive divider network. The feedback voltage is typically 0.97V.

4.5 Output Voltage Pin (V OUT)

The Output Voltage pin connects the synchronous integrated P-Channel MOSFET to the output capacitor. The resistive divider network from FB is also connected to the V_OUT pin for voltage regulation.

4.6 Switch Node Pin (SW)

Connect the inductor from the input voltage to the SW pin. The SW pin carries inductor current which can be as high as 1A (typical). The integrated N-Channel switch drain and integrated P-Channel switch source are internally connected at the SW node.

4.7 Power Ground Pin (P GND)

The Power Ground pin is used as a return for the high-current N-Channel switch. The P_GND and S_GND pins are connected externally.

4.8 Signal Ground Pin (S GND)

The Signal Ground pin is used as a return for the integrated V_REF and error amplifier. The S_GND and power ground ( P_GND ) pins are connected externally.

4.9 Power Supply Input Voltage Pin ( V_IN )

Connect the input voltage source to V_IN . A local bypass capacitor is required. The input source should be decoupled to GND with a 10 F minimum capacitor.

4.10 Enable Pin (EN)

The EN pin is an input of a Schmitt Trigger circuit used to enable or disable the device's switching. While the EN pin is low (EN = GND), the device is in Shutdown mode – output discharge or input-to-output bypass (see Table 3-1) and consumes low quiescent current, 2.3 A (typical). A logic high (> 82% of V_IN ) enables the boost converter output. A logic low (< 25% of V_IN ) ensures that the boost converter is disabled. Do not allow this pin to float.

4.11 Exposed Thermal Pad (EP)

There is no internal electrical connection between the Exposed Thermal Pad (EP) and the S_GND and P_GND pins. They must be connected to the same electric potential on the Printed Circuit Board (PCB).

5.0 DEVICE OVERVIEW

5.1 Introduction

The MCP1641X is a low-voltage, step-up converter with battery monitoring features. The MCP1641X delivers high efficiency over a wide range of inputs: single-cell, two-cell, alkaline/NiMH batteries or single-cell Li-Ion/Li-Polymer batteries can be used.

A high level of integration lowers total system cost, eases implementation and reduces the Bill of Materials (BOM) and board area.

This family of devices features low quiescent current, a programmable start-up voltage (UVLO _START ), low battery indication, adjustable output voltage, dual modes of operation (PFM/PWM and PWM Only), integrated synchronous switch, internal compensation, low noise anti-ringing control, inrush current limit and soft start.

A new battery-friendly feature for the Microchip's step-up converters family is the Automatic Input-to-Output Voltage Bypass. This function helps optimize the capacity usage of the battery, and keeps the efficiency high and the noise low for a narrow step-up conversion ratio (e.g., two fresh alkaline cells powering a boost converter for a 3.0V or 3.3V output voltage). With automatic transition from Input-to-Output Bypass to Boost mode operation and low noise anti-ringing control circuitry, in addition to the PWM Only switching, the MCP1641X devices offer a good low noise DC-DC solution for compact battery-powered systems.

The monitoring of its internal temperature, while powering the converter from batteries, is an additional safety feature of the MCP1641X family. An output pin (PGT) provides an error signal if the temperature of the die exceeds +75°C.

There are two shutdown options for the MCP1641X family: Output Discharge and Input-to-Output Bypass.

5.2 MCP1641X Options

A summary of the device options is presented in Table 3-1.

The MCP16411/3/5/7 devices use an automatic switchover from PWM to PFM mode, for light load conditions, to maximize efficiency over a wide range of output current.

The PFM mode operation has a higher output voltage ripple and variable frequency as compared to the PWM mode.

During periods of light load operation, the MCP1641X devices continue to operate at a fixed 500 kHz switching frequency, allowing pulse-skipping.

The MCP16412/4/6/8 devices disable PFM mode switching and operate only in PWM mode over the entire load range.

5.2.3 OUTPUT DISCHARGE SHUTDOWN OPTION

The MCP16411/2/5/6 devices incorporate an output auto-discharge feature. While in Shutdown mode, the MCP16411/2/5/6 devices automatically discharge the output capacitor by using an internal N-Channel MOSFET switch.

The capacitors connected to the output are discharged by an integrated switch of 150-200Ω. The discharge time depends on the total output capacitance.

During the Output Discharge Shutdown mode, the output of the MCP16411/2/5/6 is completely disconnected from the input by turning off the integrated P-Channel switch and removing the switch bulk diode connection. This removes the DC path, which is typically present in boost converters and which allows the output to be disconnected from the input. While in this mode, a low quiescent current (2.3 A, typical) is consumed from the input (battery).

5.2.4 INPUT-TO-OUTPUT BYPASS SHUTDOWN OPTION

The MCP16413/4/7/8 devices incorporate the Input-to-Output Bypass Shutdown option. With the EN input pulled low, the output is connected to the input using the internal P-Channel MOSFET.

In this mode, the current drawn from the input (battery) is 2.3 A, typically, with no load. The Input-to-Output Bypass mode is used when the input voltage range is high enough for the load to operate in Standby or Low I_Q mode (e.g., a microcontroller). When a higher, regulated output voltage is necessary to operate the application, the EN input is pulled high, boosting the output to the regulated value.

5.2.5 POWER GOOD AND DIE OVERTEMPERATURE (PGT PIN OPTION)

The MCP16411/2/3/4 devices offer a combined output Power Good and Die Overtemperature signal to the PGT pin.

Pin switches to low level when either:

• The output voltage drops below 10% of its nominal value, with 5% hysteresis;
• The IC works at a temperature which is higher than +75^ .

5.2.6 POWER GOOD (PG PIN OPTION)

The MCP16415/6/7/8 devices offer only a Power Good output signal to the PG pin, which switches low when the output voltage drops below 10% of the V_OUT nominal value and resumes at 95% of the V_OUT nominal value.

5.3 Functional Description

The MCP1641X is a compact, high-efficiency, fixed frequency, synchronous step-up DC-DC converter with programmable UVLO start-up, low battery detection and output discharge that provides an easy-to-use power supply solution for applications powered from batteries. Figure 5-1 depicts the functional block diagram of the MCP1641X. It incorporates a Current-mode control scheme, in which the PWM ramp signal is derived from the NMOS Power Switch Current ( I_SENSE ).

This ramp signal adds to the slope compensation signal and is compared to the output of the Error Amplifier ( V_ERR ) to control the on-time of the power switch. In addition, several voltage comparators (PG, UVLO internal overtemperature and LBO) protect the converter from heretical operation and overheating, as well as the battery from overdischarging and risk of leakage.

FIGURE 5-1: MCP1641X Functional Block Diagram.

5.3.1 INTERNAL BIAS

The MCP1641X devices get their start-up bias from V_IN . The V_IN bias is used to power the device and drive circuits over the entire operating range. During normal operation, the internal V_MAX comparator selects the highest voltage rail between V_IN and V_OUT , in order to optimize operation and reduce power consumption. Once the output exceeds the input, bias comes from the output. The internal voltage reference of 485 mV is powered from the input voltage at all times. A voltage amplifier buffers and multiplies the reference to 0.97V for the FB input of the error amplifier. Once the UVLO comparator triggers the start-up, the internal control loop keeps the output in regulation, while V_IN ramps down to 0.8V (UVLO _STOP ).

5.3.2 LOW-VOLTAGE START-UP

The MCP1641X is capable of starting from a low input voltage. Start-up voltage is well-controlled by the UVLO circuitry, which uses the 485 mV voltage reference. The default start-up value is 0.85V (typical). The UVLO _START threshold can be programmed by using an external resistive divider connected to the UVLO pin. This input also serves as a low battery input.

When the device is enabled (EN set high) and the input voltage is higher than 0.85V (typical), the internal start-up logic turns on the rectifying P-Channel switch until the output capacitor is charged to a value close to the input voltage. This is commonly called the output precharging phase and the rectifying switch limits the current during this time. Precharge current varies and increases with V_IN . Precharge current starts from 25 mA for low input voltage and increases up to 250 mA or more near the maximum limit of V_IN .

After the output capacitor is charged to the input voltage, the device starts switching and runs in open loop, with limited inductor peak current, at approximately 30-40% of its nominal value. Once the output voltage ramps up to 60-70% of the nominal value, the normal closed-loop operation is initiated.

5.3.3 UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT (UVLO)

The internal UVLO comparator input uses the 485 mV voltage reference to compare it with the battery input voltage. If the UVLO input is tied to V_IN , the comparator enables the converter at 0.85V typical input voltage. If a different UVLO_START voltage is desired, a resistive divider must be connected to the UVLO pin.

The UVLO _STOP threshold is set internally to 0.8V.

The MCP16411/3/5/7 devices use an automatic switchover from PWM to PFM mode, for light load conditions, to maximize efficiency over a wide range of output current. During PFM mode, a controlled peak current limit is used to pump the output up to the threshold. While operating in PFM or PWM mode, the P-Channel switch is used as a synchronous rectifier, turning off when the inductor current reaches 0 mA, in order to maximize efficiency.

In PFM mode, a voltage comparator is used to terminate switching when the output voltage reaches an upper threshold limit. Once switching has terminated, the output voltage decays or coasts down. During this Sleep period, a very low current is consumed from the input source, which keeps power efficiency high at light load.

The PFM mode frequency is a function of input voltage, output voltage and load. While in PFM mode, the boost converter periodically pumps the output with a fixed switching frequency of 500 kHz. The value of the output capacitor changes the low-frequency component ripple. The device itself is powered from the output and consumes 5 A (typical).

PFM operation is initiated if the output load current falls below an internally programmed threshold. The output voltage is continuously monitored; when the output voltage drops below its nominal value, PFM operation pulses one or several times to bring the output back into regulation. If the output load current rises above the upper threshold, the MCP16411/3/5/7 enters smoothly into the PWM mode.

Figure 2-12 represents the input voltage versus load current for the PFM to PWM threshold.

In normal PWM Operation mode, the MCP16412/4/6/8 devices operate as a fixed frequency, synchronous boost converter. The switching frequency is internally maintained with a precision oscillator, which is typically set to 500 kHz.

At light loads, the MCP16412/4/6/8 devices begin to skip pulses. By operating in PWM Only mode, the output ripple remains low and the frequency is constant. Operating in Fixed PWM mode results in low efficiency during light load operation, but with the advantage of low output ripple and noise for the supplied load. Lossless current sensing converts the peak current signal to voltage in order to sum it with the internal slope compensation. This summed signal is compared with the voltage error amplifier output to provide a peak current control command for the PWM signal. The converter provides the proper amount of slope compensation to ensure stability. The peak current limit is typically set to 1A.

The MCP1641X integrates a low noise anti-ringing switch that damps the oscillations observed at the switch node of the boost converter. This method reduces the noise spread when operating at light loads in Discontinuous Inductor Current (DCM) mode.

5.3.7 INTERNAL COMPENSATION

The error amplifier (a transconductance type), with its associated compensation network, completes the closed-loop system; it compares the output voltage ( V_FB pin) to a reference at the input of the error amplifier, and feeds the amplified and inverted signal to the control input of the inner current loop. The compensation network provides phase leads and lags at appropriate frequencies to cancel the excessive phase lags and leads of the power circuit. All necessary compensation components and slope compensation are integrated.

5.3.8 LOW BATTERY DETECTION

The LBO pin is connected to the output of the Low Battery Input (LBI) comparator to warn if the input voltage is low or the UVLO pin level is below the 485 mV trip point. The LBI comparator is active only when the device is active (EN is high), after the start-up sequence ends. The LBI comparator acts only during the V_IN down slope (e.g., battery is discharging). There is a hysteresis of 20 mV (typical) between the UVLO START and LBI thresholds. After the LBO output pin is asserted low for low battery, the boost converter continues to operate down to 0.8V (UVLO STOP ). In order to get a valid LBO signal, the input voltage must be lower for more than 150 s (see Figure 5-2). This blanking time eliminates false triggering of the LBI comparator due to voltage transients.

FIGURE 5-2: UVLO and LBO Behavior (UVLO pin connected to V_IN pin).

FIGURE 5-3: UVLO and LBO Behavior (UVLO pin connected to a resistive divider to program the UVLO _START value).

5.3.9 POWER GOOD AND DIE OVERTEMPERATURE SYSTEM RESPONSE

The PGT is an open-drain output pin, a mixed Power Good and Die Overtemperature function, which works as a general error pin if one of the following events occurs:

• V_OUT is below 90% of regulated value; there is a 5% hysteresis. It resumes when V_OUT gets back to 95% of its nominal value. A 250 μs delay is needed for a valid signal (see Figure 5-4).
• The device's temperature is higher than +75^ (only for MCP16411/2/3/4 devices; see Table 3-1). This feature can be preprogrammed by customer request (in the +55^ to +85^ range with +10^ increments).

Note: Contact the regional sales office for more details.

The open-drain transistor allows interfacing the PGT pin with an MCU I/O port. It can sink up to 2 mA from the power line with the pull-up resistor connected. The PGT signal is generated (comparator active) only if the device is active (EN is high).

The device's overtemperature protection feature helps in any case of overload, or other Fault conditions that generate the heating of the device or its proximity (e.g., PCB area), preventing the end equipment from overheating or melting.

FIGURE 5-4: PGT Output Response.

5.3.10 AUTOMATIC INPUT-TO-OUTPUT BYPASS MODE

The MCP1641X features Automatic Input-to-Output Bypass mode if V_IN is close to the selected V_OUT or higher. In this situation, V_OUT tracks V_IN , which is "bypassed" to the output through the synchronous P-Channel MOSFET. The device resumes Boost mode if V_OUT decreases down to approximately 90% of the target regulation voltage.

This function has the advantage of offering a highly efficient Conversion mode while the battery is fresh, which translates into better battery utilization. This mode of operation also removes the high output ripple and noise, which is usually present in boost converters during operation when the value of the input is very close to the desired output voltage (where the switching duty cycle is minimum and limited). This mode is recommended for noise-sensitive power rail applications (e.g., audio, LCD displays). The disadvantage is that the output is not regulated in this range, but equal with battery voltage minus a drop on the synchronous P-MOS ( I_OUT * R_DSON ) rectifier.

FIGURE 5-5: Automatic Boost-Bypass Transition.

5.3.11 ENABLE

The MCP1641X devices are enabled when the EN pin is set high and are disabled when the EN pin is set low (Shutdown mode). The enable threshold voltage varies with the input voltage. To enable the boost converter, the EN voltage level must be greater than 82% of the V_IN voltage. To disable the boost converter, the EN voltage must be less than 25% of the V_IN voltage.

In Shutdown mode, a low quiescent current, 2.3 A (typical), is consumed from the input (battery).

5.3.12 SHORT-CIRCUIT PROTECTION

Unlike most boost converters, the MCP1641X allows its output to be shorted during normal operation. The 1A (typical) internal current limit and thermal shutdown reduce excessive stress and protect the device during periods of short-circuit, overcurrent and overtemperature.

5.3.13 INPUT OVERCURRENT LIMIT

The MCP1641X devices use a 1A (typical) cycle-by-cycle inductor peak current limit to protect the N-Channel switch. The overcurrent comparator resets the driving latch when the peak of the inductor current reaches the limit. In current limitation, the output voltage starts dropping. To assure highest load current operation, by design, the current limit is higher than typical for an input voltage close to the output voltage value.

5.3.14 THERMAL SHUTDOWN

Thermal shutdown circuitry is integrated in the MCP1641X devices. This circuitry monitors the device's junction temperature and shuts off the output if the junction temperature exceeds the typical +140°C value. If this threshold is exceeded, the device automatically restarts once the junction temperature drops by 10°C (typical).

6.0 APPLICATION INFORMATION

The MCP1641X synchronous boost converter operates over a wide input and output voltage range. The power efficiency is high for several decades of load range. The output current capability increases with the input voltage and decreases with the output voltage. The maximum output current is based on the N-Channel peak current limit. Section 2.0 "Typical Performance Curves" displays the typical output current capability.

6.1 Adjustable Output Voltage Calculations

To calculate the resistive divider values for the MCP1641X, use Equation 6-1, where R_TOP is connected to V_OUT , R_BOT is connected to GND, and both R_TOP and R_BOT are connected to the V_FB input pin.

EQUATION 6-1:

$$ R _ {T O P} = R _ {B O T} \times \left(\frac {V _ {O U T}}{V _ {F B}} - 1\right) $$

EXAMPLE 1:

$$ V _ {\text { OUT }} = 1. 8 \mathrm{V} $$

$$ V _ {F B} = 0. 9 7 V $$

$$ R _ {B O T} = 3 6 0 k \Omega $$

$$ R _ {T O P} = 3 0 9 \mathrm{k} \Omega $$

EXAMPLE 2:

$$ V _ {O U T} = 2. 0 V $$

$$ V _ {F B} = 0. 9 7 V $$

$$ R _ {B O T} = 3 6 0 k \Omega $$

$$ R _ {T O P} = 3 8 3 k \Omega $$

EXAMPLE 3:

$$ V _ {O U T} = 3. 3 V $$

$$ V _ {F B} = 0. 9 7 V $$

$$ R _ {B O T} = 3 6 0 \mathrm{k} \Omega $$

$$ R _ {T O P} = 8 6 6 k \Omega $$

EXAMPLE 4:

$$ V _ {O U T} = 5. 0 V $$

$$ V _ {F B} = 0. 9 7 V $$

$$ R _ {B O T} = 3 6 0 \mathrm{k} \Omega $$

$$ R _ {T O P} = 1. 5 \mathrm{M} \Omega $$

The internal error amplifier of the Peak Current mode control loop is a transconductance error amplifier; its gain is not related to the resistor's value. There are some potential issues with higher value resistors. For small surface-mount resistors, environment contamination can create leakage paths that significantly change the resistive divider ratio and the output voltage tolerance. Smaller feedback resistor values increase the quiescent current drained from the battery by a few A, but result in good regulation over the entire temperature range.

When R_TOP and R_BOT are higher, the efficiency of the DC-DC conversion is optimized at very light loads.

For boost converters, the removal of the feedback resistors during operation must be avoided. If feedback resistors are removed during operation, the output voltage increases above the absolute maximum output limits of the MCP1641X and damages the device (for additional information, see Application Note AN1337, "Optimizing Battery Life in DC Boost Converters Using MCP1640", DS00001337).

6.2 Programmable UVLO and LBO Calculations

This feature is used to increase the UVLO START threshold. To calculate the resistive divider values for a new UVLO threshold, use Equation 6-2, where RH is connected to V_IN , R_L is connected to GND, and both R_H and R_L are connected to the UVLO input pin.

The programmable UVLO resistors' calculations result in changing the low battery input detection level on the down slope of the input voltage, as detailed in Section 5.3.8 "Low Battery Detection".

EQUATION 6-2:

$$ R _ {H} = R _ {L} \times \left(\frac {U V L O _ {S T A R T}}{V r e f _ {U V L O}} - 1\right) $$

EXAMPLE 5:

$$ \mathrm{UVLO} _ {\text { START }} = 1. 1 \mathrm{V} $$

$$ \mathrm{Vref} _ {\mathrm{UVLO}} = 4 8 5 \mathrm{mV} $$

$$ R _ {L} = 4 3 0 \mathrm{k} \Omega $$

$$ R _ {H} = 5 4 9 \mathrm{k} \Omega $$

EXAMPLE 6:

$$ \mathrm{UVLO} _ {\text { START }} = 1. 8 \mathrm{V} $$

$$ \mathrm{Vref} _ {\mathrm{UVLO}} = 4 8 5 \mathrm{mV} $$

$$ R _ {L} = 4 3 0 \mathrm{k} \Omega $$

$$ \begin{array}{r c l} R _ {H} & = & 1. 1 6 5 \mathrm{M} \Omega (\text {with a standard value}) \ & & \text {of 1.15 M\Omega , UVLO_{START} is} \ & & 1. 7 8 2 \mathrm{V}) \end{array} $$

6.3 Input Capacitor Selection

The boost input current is smoothed by the boost inductor, reducing the amount of filtering necessary at the input. Some capacitance is recommended to provide decoupling from the source. Low-ESR X5R or X7R ceramic capacitors are well-suited, due to their low-temperature coefficient and small size. For most applications, 10 F of capacitance is sufficient at the input. For high-power applications that have high source impedance or long leads, connecting additional input capacitance to the battery provides a stable input voltage. Table 6-1 shows the recommended input capacitor value range.

6.4 Output Capacitor Selection

The output capacitor helps to provide a stable output voltage during sudden load transients and reduces the output voltage ripple. As with the input capacitor, X5R and X7R ceramic capacitors are well-suited for this application. While C_OUT provides load current, a voltage drop also appears across its internal ESR that results in ripple voltage. Using other capacitor types (e.g., aluminum) with large ESR has a detrimental impact on the converter's efficiency and maximum output power. For a proper value, the output capacitance can be estimated by Equation 6-3.

The MCP1641X is internally compensated, therefore, the output capacitance range is limited to 20 F.

An output capacitance higher than 10 F adds a better load step response and high-frequency noise attenuation, especially while stepping from light loads (PFM mode) to heavy loads (PWM mode).

For output voltages below 2V, 20 F capacitance is recommended.

See Table 6-1 for the recommended output capacitor range.

EQUATION 6-3:

$$ I _ {O U T} = C _ {O U T} \times \left(\frac {d V}{d t}\right) $$

Where:

$$ d V = \text { Ripple voltage } $$

$$ d t = \text { On - time of the N - Channel switch } $$

$$ (D \times 1 / f _ {S W}, D \text { is duty cycle }) $$

TABLE 6-1: CAPACITOR VALUE RANGE

	C_IN	C_OUT
Minimum	10 μF	10 μF
Maximum	None	20 μF

6.5 Inductor Selection

The MCP1641X is designed to be used with small surface-mount inductors; the inductance value can range from 2.2 H to 4.7 H. An inductance value of 4.7 H is recommended to achieve a good balance between inductor size, converter load transient response and minimized noise. For an output below 2.0V, the inductor value must be reduced to 2.2 H. Several parameters should be considered when selecting the correct inductor: maximum rated current, saturation current and copper resistance (DCR). For boost converters, the inductor current can be much higher than the output current. The lower the inductor's DCR, the higher the efficiency of the converter; a common trade-off in size versus efficiency. See Table 6-2 for the recommended inductors.

The MCP1641X limits the inductor peak current to 1A; for proper operation, an inductor with a saturation current higher than this limit should be chosen. The saturation current typically specifies a point at which the inductance has rolled off a percentage of the rated value. This can range from a 20% to 40% reduction in inductance. As the inductance rolls off, the inductor current ripple increases, so does the peak switch current. It is important to keep the inductance from rolling off too much as it can cause switch current to reach the peak limit.

6.6 Thermal Calculations

The MCP1641X devices are available in two different packages, 10-lead MSOP and 3 mm x 3 mm 10-lead TDFN. The junction temperature is estimated by calculating the power dissipation and applying the package thermal resistance ( _JA ). The maximum operating junction temperature rating for the MCP1641X family of devices is +125°C.

To quickly estimate the internal power dissipation for the switching boost regulator, an empirical calculation using measured efficiency can be applied, as presented in Equation 6-4.

The difference between the first term, input power and the second term, power delivered, is the internal MCP1641X device's power dissipation. This is an estimate, assuming that most of the power lost is internal to the MCP1641X and not by the C_IN , C_OUT or the inductor. However, there is some percentage of power lost in the boost inductor with very little loss in the input and output capacitors. For a more accurate estimation of the internal power dissipation, subtract the I_LRMS^2 × L_DCR power dissipation.

6.7 PCB Layout Information

Good PCB layout techniques are important to any switching circuitry and switching power supplies is no different. When wiring the switching high-current paths, short and wide traces should be used. Therefore, it is important that the input and output capacitors should be placed as close as possible to the MCP1641X to minimize the loop area.

The feedback resistors and feedback signal should be routed away from the switching node and the switching current loop. When possible, ground planes and traces should be used to help shield the feedback signal and minimize noise and magnetic interference.

UVLO START = 3.3V UVLO STOP = 2.8V L1 4.7 μH CIN 10 μF REN 10 kΩ RH 226 kΩ RHI 1.5 MΩ NMOS PGT RL 39.2 kΩ ENABLE Q1 PGT SW VIN VOUT VFB UVLO EN PGT GND LBO VOUT 5V 1.5 MΩ 360 kΩ 1 MΩ 1 MΩ COUT 10 μF LOW BATTERY (2.8V)

Note: R_H and R_L set the UVLO START to 3.3V. For battery voltage higher than 3.3V, the switching is enabled and the device regulates to 5V. After start-up, the PGT signal turns on the N-MOS switch and puts in parallel RH and R_H1 and UVLO START changes dynamically from 3.3V to 2.8V. As a result, when the battery gets discharged to 2.8V, the LBO switches to low level, turns on the NPN transistor ( Q1 ) and asserts to low the enable input, turning off the output of the converter.
