RP400xxx1C SERIES
HIGH EFFICIENCY, SMALL PACKAGES, STEP-UP DC/DC CONVERTERS
NO.EA-193-150909
OUTLINE
RP400xxx1C Series are high efficiency, step-up DC/DC converter ICs packaged in compact 5pin SOT23 or 6pin
DFN(PLP). This converter starts up of low voltage (Typ.1.2V) operation from one to two alkaline or a
nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) or one-cell Lithium-ion (Li+) battery.
This IC consists of a reference voltage unit with soft start, a chip enable circuit, an error amplifier, phase
compensation circuits, a slope circuit, a PWM control circuit, a start-up circuit, a PWM/VFM mode control circuit,
internal switches and a protection circuit. As a protection circuit, RP400xxx1C has a current limit circuit which
limits the peak current of the inductor at each clock cycle.
A low ripple high efficiency step up DC/DC converter can be composed of RP400xxx1C Series with only an
inductor, a diode and capacitors. This converter is based on a fixed frequency current mode PWM control which
goes to power save mode (VFM mode) at light load automatically. RP400xxx1C Series has built-in Anti-ringing
switch to prevent switching node from ringing, when the converter enters the discontinuous current mode.
The output voltage of RP400K001C can be set within 1.8~5.0V (recommended range of output voltage) by
external divider resistors.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Electronic and mechanical stress momentarily exceeded absolute maximum ratings may cause the permanent damages
and may degrade the life time and safety for both device and system using the device in the field. The functional operation
at or over these absolute maximum ratings is not assured.
RECOMMENDED OPERATING CONDITIONS (ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS)
All of electronic equipment should be designed that the mounted semiconductor devices operate within the
recommended operating conditions. The semiconductor devices cannot operate normally over the recommended operating
conditions, even if when they are used over such conditions by momentary electronic noise or surge. And the
semiconductor devices may receive serious damage when they continue to operate over the recommended operating
conditions.
