Advanced Power Electronics Corp. APE2901 MICROPOWER VFM STEP-UP DC/DC Converter FEATURES DESCRIPTION Very Low Supply Current Regulated Output Voltage Wide Range of Output Voltage is Available from 2.5V to 5.0V by 0.1V Steps Output Voltage Accuracy 5% Output Current up to 100mA Low Ripple and Low Noise Very Low Start-up Voltage High Efficiency (Vout = 5V TYP. 87%) Few External Components Internal Soft-Start Low Profile: SOT-23, SOT-89 & SOT-23-5L Pb-Free The APE2901 is a high efficiency VFM Step-up DC/DC converter for small, low input voltage or battery powered systems with ultra low quiescent supply current. The APE2901 accept a positive input voltage from start-up voltage to VOUT and convert it to a higher output voltage in the 2.5 to 5V range. The APE2901 combine ultra low quiescent supply current and high efficiency to give maximum battery life. The high switching frequency and the internally limited peak inductor current permits the use of small, low cost inductors. Only three external components are needed an inductor a diode and an output capacitor. The APE2901 is suitable to be used in battery powered equipment where low noise, low ripple and ultra low supply current are required. The APE2901 is available in very small package: SOT-23, SOT-89 & SOT-23-5L. Typical applications are pagers, cameras & video camera, cellular telephones, wireless telephones, palmtop computer, battery backup supplies, battery powered i t TYPICAL APPLICATION VIN VOUT 47uH C1 100uF NC NC D1 B140 SW GND OUT C2 47uF C3 1uF APE2901 ORDERING INFORMATION APE2901XX-XX Package Type Y5 : SOT-23-5L N : SOT-23 G : SOT-89 VOUT 22 : 2.2V 25 : 2.5V 26 : 2.6V 27 : 2.7V : 50 : 5.0V Data and specifications subject to change without notice 1 201009076 Advanced Power Electronics Corp.

APE2901 BLOCK DIAGRAM + - OUT VREF SW LIMITER AMP. - + VFM CONTROL ERROR AMP. Driver GND OPERATION The APE2901 architecture is built around a VFM CONTROL logic core, switching frequency is set through a built in oscillator. TON time is fixed (Typ. 5uS) while TOFF time is determined by the error amplifier output, a logic signal coming from the comparison made by the Error Amplifier Stage between the signal coming from the output voltage divider network and the internal Band-Gap voltage reference (Vref). TOFF reaches a minimum (Typ. 1.7uS) when heavy load conditions are met (Clock frequency 150KHz). An over current conditions, through the internal power switch, causes a voltage drop VLX=RDSON x ISW and the VLX limiter block forces the internal switch to be off, so narrowing TON time and limiting internal power dissipation. In this case the switching frequency may be higher than the 150KHz set by the internal clock generator. VFM control ensures very low quiescent current and high conversion efficiency even with very light loads. Since the Output Voltage pin is also used as the device Supply Voltage, the versions with higher output voltage present an higher internal supply voltage that results in lower power switch RDSON, slightly greater output power and higher efficiency. Moreover, bootstrapping allows the input voltage to sag to 0.6V (at IOUT=1mA) once the system is started. If the input voltage exceeds the output voltage, the output will follow the input, however, the input or output voltage must not be forced above 5.5V. APPLICATION INFORMATION INPUT/OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION The Output Ripple Voltage, as well as the Efficiency, is strictly related to the behavior of these elements. The output ripple voltage is the product of the peak inductor current and the output capacitor Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR). Best performances are obtained with good high frequency characteristics capacitors and low ESR. The best compromise for the value of the Output Capacitance is 47F Tantalum Capacitor; Lower values may cause higher Output Ripple Voltage and lower Efficiency without compromising the functionality of the device. An Input Capacitor is required to compensate, if present, the series impedance between the Supply Voltage Source and the Input Voltage of the Application. INDUCTOR SELECTION A 47H inductor is recommended for most APE2901 applications. However, the inductance value is not critical, and the APE2901 will work with inductors in the 33H to 120H. 3 Advanced Power Electronics Corp. APE2901 APPLICATION INFORMATION DIODE SELECTION Schottky diodes with higher current ratings usually have lower forward voltage drop, larger diode capacitance and fast reverse recovery, it is the ideal choices for APE2901 applications. The forward voltage drop of a Schottky diode represents the conduction losses in the system, while the diode capacitance (CT or CD) represents the switching losses. For diode selection, both forward voltage drop and diode capacitance need to be considered. PCB LAYOUT GUIDE When laying out the PC board, the following suggestions should be taken to ensure proper operation of the APE2901. These items are also illustrated graphically in below. 1. The power traces, including the GND trace, the SW trace and the VCC trace should be kept short, direct and wide to allow large current flow. Put enough multiply-layer pads when they need to change the trace layer. 2. Do not trace signal line under inductor. 4 Advanced Power Electronics Corp.
