SM6702 series
PFM Step-up DC/DC Converter
OVERVIEW
The SM6702 series are step-up DC/DC converter ICs, fabricated using NPC’s Molybdenum-gate CMOS pro-
cess. They incorporate reference voltage source, error amplifier, oscillator, start-up circuit, PFM (Pulse Fre-
quency Modulation) control circuit into a single chip. The only external components required are a Coil, Diode
and output smoothing capacitors to form a step-up DC/DC converter. They employ PFM voltage control cir-
cuits to achieve high efficiency, stable constant-voltage output.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Step-up Principle
The SM6702 series use a transistor to switch the input supply in a non-isolated chopper switching regulator
configuration. The figure below shows the basic step-up switching regulator circuit.
If the transistor is ON for an interval t
ON
and then instantly turned OFF, the energy stored in the coil L during
the interval t
ON
generates a voltage V
L
across the coil. This voltage is superimposed on the input voltage such
that the peak voltage reaches V
IN
+ V
L
which forces the diode D to conduct and release the stored energy into
the output.
During normal operation, the above switching occurs repeatedly at a frequency controlled by an oscillator
(which can change depending on the input and output load conditions), generating a square wave output which
is then smoothed by the output capacitor C. Thus the output voltage (V
OUT
> V
IN
) has been stepped up.

PFM Control
In SM6702 series, the LX transistor ON interval is fixed, and the OFF interval varies in response to the input
voltage and load changes. Thus the resulting switching cycle frequency varies, called pulse frequency modula-
tion.
