General Description
The UM1660 is a PFM controlled step-up DC-DC converter with a switching frequency up to
1MHz. The device is ideal to generate output voltage for small to medium LCD bias supplies and
white LED backlight supplies from a single cell Li-Ion battery. The part can also be used to
generate standard 3.3V/5V to 12V power conversions.
With a high switching frequency of 1MHz, a low profile and small board area solution can be
achieved using a chip coil and an ultra small ceramic output capacitor. The UM1660 has an
internal 400mA switch current limit, offering lower output voltage ripple. The low quiescent
current (typically 36µ together with an optimized control scheme, allows device operation at
A)
very high efficiencies over the entire load current range.

UM1660
Operation
The UM1660 features a constant off-time control scheme. Operation can be best understood by
referring to the function block diagram. The converter monitors the output voltage, and as soon as
the feedback voltage falls below the reference voltage of typically 1.233V, the internal switch
turns on and the current ramps up. The switch turns off as soon as the inductor current reaches the
internally set peak current of typically 400mA. The second criteria that turns off the switch is the
maximum on-time of 6µ (typical). This is just to limit the maximum on-time of the converter to
s
cover for extreme conditions. As the switch is turned off the external Schottky diode is forward
biased delivering the current to the output. The switch remains off for a minimum of 400ns
(typical), or until the feedback voltage drops below the reference voltage again. Using this PFM
peak current control scheme the converter operates in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM)
where the switching frequency depends on the output current, which results in very high
efficiency over the entire load current range.
Peak Current Control
The internal switch turns on until the inductor current reaches the typical dc current limit (I
LIM
) of
400mA. There is approximately a 100ns delay from the time the current limit is reached and when
the internal logic actually turns off the switch. During this 100ns delay, the peak inductor current
will increase. This increase demands a larger saturation current rating for the inductor. This
saturation current can be approximated by the following equation:
I
peak
(
typ
)
½
I
LIM
Vin
100
ns
L
The higher the input voltage and the lower the inductor value, the greater the peak current.
Soft-Start
All inductive step-up converters exhibit high inrush current during start-up if no special
precaution is made. This can cause voltage drops at the input rail during start up and may result in
an unwanted or early system shut down. The UM1660 limits this inrush current by increasing the
current limit in two steps from I
LIM
/4 for 256 cycles to I
LIM
/2 for the next 256 cycles, and then full
current limit.
Enable
Pulling the enable pin (EN) to ground shuts down the device reducing the shutdown current to
1µ (typical). Since there is a conductive path from the input to the output through the inductor
A
and Schottky diode, the output voltage is equal to the input voltage during shutdown. The enable
pin needs to be terminated and should not be left floating. Using a small external transistor
disconnects the input from the output during shutdown as shown in the figure below.
