Supply pin
The device is based on a current-mode control topology using 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 control loop must be externally compensated with an R-C-C network connected to the COMP-pin.
The device integrates an N-channel and a P-channel 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 95%.
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).
The benefit of this feature for the system design engineer, is that the battery is not depleted during shutdown of
the converter. So, no additional effort has to be made by the system designer to ensure disconnection of the
battery from the output of the converter. Therefore, design performance will be increased without additional costs
and board space.
