Product Preview
2.5 A Boost Regulator
with Bypass Function
The NCP6868 is a synchronous boost converter. It is designed
primarily to boost new generation low-voltage Li-Ion batteries (silicon
anode-like) embedded into cell and smart phones. The objective is to
guarantee a minimum output voltage even in the case for which the
battery voltage is below the minimum voltage required by the system.
The device features a Bypass mode coupled with a Boost mode. It is
capable to drive a continuous load up to 2.5 A and it operates at
a switching frequency of 2.5 MHz. An I
2
C serial control can also be
enabled for configuring the output voltage and peak current limit. The
NCP6868 is available in a space saving, low profile 1.8
×
1.8 mm
CSP-16 package.

Description
Enable Control. Active high will enable the part. There is an internal pull down
resistor on this pin.
Interrupt Output pin active Low (Open drain); PG is pulled low if a PG event is
detected that is output out of regulation, over-voltage, overload, UVLO or TWRN
protection is activated. PG is pulled-up High when EN is Low.
DCDC input power connected to a Li-Ion battery. This pin must be decoupled to
ground by a 10
mF
and 1
mF
ceramic capacitors. These capacitors should be placed
as close as possible to this pin.
Output Voltage Select. This pin can be used to select the voltage when the device
operates in boost mode. VSEL = Low, Low voltage target selected; VSEL = High,
High voltage target selected. There is an internal pull-down resistor on this pin.
MODE: B2 pin is configured as a MODE pin when the I
2
C interface is disabled and
the device output voltage is fixed. When MODE = Low the device is operating in auto
mode. This pin must be set Low during device start-up. When MODE = High the
device is operating in forced CCM mode.
SCL: I
2
C interface Clock line when the I
2
C interface is enabled. There is an internal
pull down resistor on this pin.
NC: For device without I
2
C interface activated, connect this pin to AGND.
SDA: Bidirectional data line of the I
2
C bus.
Analog Ground. Analog and digital circuit blocks’ ground. This pin must be connected
to the system ground.
Output voltage. Connect output capacitors as close as possible to the device.
Bypass pin. Active Low. This pin is used to force the device into the bypass mode.
In forced Bypass mode, both Bypass P-MOSFET and P-Channel MOSFET (see
Figure 1) are turned ON and N-Channel MOSFET (see Figure 1) is turned OFF.
There is an internal pull-up resistor on this pin.
DC-DC Switch Power pin. This pin connects the power transistors to one end of the
inductor. Typical application (2.5 MHz) uses a 0.470
mH
inductor; refer to application
section for more information.
Power Ground. This pin is the power ground and carries the high switching current.
High quality ground must be provided to prevent noise spikes.
To avoid high-density current flow in a limited PCB track, a local ground plane that
connects all PGND pins together is recommended. Analog and power grounds
should only be connected together in one location through a printed trace.

Device State
All bias circuits are off and the device is in shutdown mode. During shutdown, current flow is
prevented from P
VIN
to V
OUT
and from SW to V
OUT
.
The device is active and forced in bypass mode. A short circuit protection is embedded in order to
prevent the output voltage going to low.
The device will switch between Boost mode and Bypass mode automatically.

Stresses exceeding those listed in the Maximum Ratings table may damage the device. If any of these limits are exceeded, device functionality
should not be assumed, damage may occur and reliability may be affected.
1. The thermal shutdown set to 150°C (typical) avoids potential irreversible damage on the device due to power dissipation.
2. The Junction-to-Ambient and Junction-to-Board thermal resistances are a function of Printed Circuit Board (PCB) layout and application.
These data are measured using 4-layer PCBs (2s2p). For a given ambient temperature T
A
it has to be pay attention to not exceed the max
junction temperature T
JMAX
.
