GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP1110 is part of a family of step-up/step-down switch­ing regulators that operate from an input voltage supply as little as 1.0 V. This very low input voltage allows the ADP1110 to be used in applications that use a single cell as the primary power source.
The ADP1110 can be configured to operate in either step-up or step-down mode, but for input voltages greater than 3 V, the ADP1111 would be a more effective solution.
An auxiliary gain amplifier can serve as a low battery detector or as a linear regulator.
The quiescent current of 300 µA makes the ADP1110 useful in remote or battery powered applications.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADP1110 is a flexible, low-power, switch-mode power supply (SMPS) controller. The regulated output voltage can be greater than the input voltage (boost or step-up mode) or less than the input (buck or step-down mode). This device uses a gated-oscillator technique to provide very high performance with low quiescent current.
A functional block diagram of the ADP1110 is shown on the first page. The internal 220 mV reference is connected to one input of the comparator, while the other input is externally connected (via the FB pin) to a feedback network connected to the regulated output. When the voltage at the FB pin falls below 220 mV, the 70 kHz oscillator turns on. A driver amplifier provides base drive to the internal power switch, and the switching action raises the output voltage. When the voltage at the FB pin exceeds 220 mV, the oscillator is shut off. While the oscillator is off, the ADP1110 quiescent current is only 300 µA. The comparator includes a small amount of hysteresis, which ensures loop stability without requiring external components for frequency compensation.
The maximum current in the internal power switch can be set by connecting a resistor between V
and the I
IN
pin. When the
LIM
maximum current is exceeded, the switch is turned OFF. The current limit circuitry has a time delay of about 800 ns. If an external resistor is not used, connect I tion on I

sheet. The ADP1110 internal oscillator provides 10 µs ON and 5 µs
OFF times, which is ideal for applications where the ratio between V
and V
IN
is roughly a factor of three (such as generating +5 V
OUT
from a single 1.5 V cell). Wider range conversions, as well as step-down converters, can also be accomplished with a slight loss in the maximum output power that can be obtained.
An uncommitted gain block on the ADP1110 can be connected as a low–battery detector. The inverting input of the gain block is internally connected to the 220 mV reference. The noninverting input is available at the SET pin. A resistor divider, connected between V pin, causes the AO output to go LOW when the low battery set point is exceeded. The AO output is an open collector NPN transistor that can sink 300 µA.
The ADP1110 provides external connections for both the collector and emitter of its internal power switch, which permits

both step-up and step-down modes of operation. For the step­up mode, the emitter (Pin SW2) is connected to GND and the collector (Pin SW1) drives the inductor. For step-down mode, the emitter drives the inductor while the collector is connected to V
.
IN
The output voltage of the ADP1110 is set with two external resistors. Three fixed-voltage models are also available: ADP1110–3.3 (+3.3 V), ADP1110–5 (+5 V) and ADP1110-12 (+12 V). The fixed-voltage models are identical to the ADP1110 except that laser-trimmed voltage-setting resistors are included on the chip. Only three external components are required to form a +3.3 V, +5 V or +12 V converter. On the fixed-voltage models of the ADP1110, simply connect the SENSE pin (Pin 8) directly to the output voltage.
COMPONENT SELECTION General Notes on Inductor Selection
When the ADP1110 internal power switch turns on, current begins to flow in the inductor. Energy is stored in the inductor core while the switch is on, and this stored energy is then transferred to the load when the switch turns off. Because both the collector and the emitter of the switch transistor are accessible on the ADP1110, the output voltage can be higher, lower, or of opposite polarity than the input voltage.
To specify an inductor for the ADP1110, the proper values of inductance, saturation current, and DC resistance must be determined. This process is not difficult, and specific equations for each circuit configuration are provided in this data sheet. In general terms, however, the inductance value must be low enough to store the required amount of energy (when both input voltage and switch ON time are at a minimum) but high enough that the inductor will not saturate when both V
IN
and switch ON time are at their maximum values. The inductor must also store enough energy to supply the load without saturating. Finally, the dc resistance of the inductor should be low so that excessive power will not be wasted by heating the windings. For most ADP1110 applications, an inductor of 15 µH to 100 µH with a saturation current rating of 300 mA to 1A and dc resistance <0.4 is suitable. Ferrite-core inductors that meet these specifications are available in small, surface­mount packages.
To minimize Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI), a toroid or pot-core type inductor is recommended. Rod-core inductors are a lower-cost alternative if EMI is not a problem.

CALCULATING THE INDUCTOR VALUE
Selecting the proper inductor value is a simple three-step process:
1. Define the operating parameters: minimum input voltage, maximum input voltage, output voltage and output current.
2. Select the appropriate conversion topology (step-up, step­down, or inverting).
3. Calculate the inductor value, using the equations in the following sections.
INDUCTOR SELECTION–STEP-UP CONVERTER
In a step-up or boost converter (Figure 19), the inductor must store enough power to make up the difference between the input voltage and the output voltage. The power that must be stored is calculated from the equation:
PL= V

inductor increases at the rate of:

As previously mentioned, E that the ADP1110 can deliver the necessary power to the load. For best efficiency, peak current should be limited to 1 A or less. Higher switch currents will reduce efficiency because of increased saturation voltage in the switch. High peak current also increases output ripple. As a general rule, keep peak current as low as possible to minimize losses in the switch, inductor and diode.
In practice, the inductor value is easily selected using the equations above. For example, consider a supply that will generate 12 V at 120 mA from a 4.5 V to 8 V source. The inductor power required is from Equation 1:
PL= 12V + 0.5V − 4.5 V

120 mA = 960 mW
On each switching cycle, the inductor must supply:

Since the inductor energy of 17.5 µJ is greater than the PL/f

requirement of 13.7 µJ, the 47 µH inductor will work in this application. By substituting other inductor values into the same equations, the optimum inductor value can be determined. When selecting an inductor, the peak current must not exceed the maximum switch current of 1.5 A.
The peak current must be evaluated for both minimum and maximum values of input voltage. If the switch current is high when V maximum value of V
is at its minimum, the 1.5 A limit may be exceeded at the
IN
. In this case, the ADP1110’s current limit
IN
feature can be used to limit switch current. Simply select a resistor (using Figure 7) that will limit the maximum switch current to the I
value calculated for the minimum value of VIN. This will
PEAK
improve efficiency by producing a constant I
as VIN increases.
PEAK
See the “Limiting the Switch Current” section of this data sheet for more information.
Note that the switch current limit feature does not protect the circuit if the output is shorted to ground. In this case, current is only limited by the dc resistance of the inductor and the forward voltage of the diode.
INDUCTOR SELECTION–STEP-DOWN CONVERTER
The step-down mode of operation is shown in Figure 20. Unlike the step-up mode, the ADP1110’s power switch does not
saturate when operating in the step-down mode; therefore, switch current should be limited to 800 mA in this mode. If the input voltage will vary over a wide range, the I
pin can be
LIM
used to limit the maximum switch current. Higher switch current is possible by adding an external switching transistor as shown in Figure 22.
The first step in selecting the step-down inductor is to calculate the peak switch current as follows:

L =
498 mA
10 µs = 50 µs
Since 50 µH is not a standard value, the next lower standard value of 47 µH would be specified.
To avoid exceeding the maximum switch current when the input voltage is at +18 V, an R
resistor should be specified.
LIM
Using the step-down curve of Figure 6, a value of 560 will limit the switch current to 500 mA.
INDUCTOR SELECTION—POSITIVE-TO-NEGATIVE CONVERTER
The configuration for a positive-to-negative converter using the ADP1110 is shown in Figure 23. As with the step-up converter, all of the output power for the inverting circuit must be supplied by the inductor. The required inductor power is derived from the formula:

The ADP1110 power switch does not saturate in positive-to­negative mode. The voltage drop across the switch can be modeled as a 0.75 V base-emitter diode in series with a 0.65 resistor. When the switch turns on, inductor current will rise at a rate determined by:

CAPACITOR SELECTION
For optimum performance, the ADP1110’s output capacitor must be selected carefully. Choosing an inappropriate capacitor can result in low efficiency and/or high output ripple.
Ordinary aluminum electrolytic capacitors are inexpensive but often have poor Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) and Equivalent Series Inductance (ESL). Low ESR aluminum capacitors, specifically designed for switch mode converter applications, are also available, and these are a better choice than general purpose devices. Even better performance can be achieved with tantalum capacitors, although their cost is higher. Very low values of ESR can be achieved by using OS-CON capacitors (Sanyo Corporation, San Diego, CA). These devices are fairly small, available with tape-and-reel packaging and have very low ESR.
The effects of capacitor selection on output ripple are demon­strated in Figures 16, 17 and 18. These figures show the output of the same ADP1110 converter, that was evaluated with three different output capacitors. In each case, the peak switch current is 500 mA, and the capacitor value is 100 µF. Figure 16 shows a Panasonic HF-series 16-volt radial cap. When the switch turns off, the output voltage jumps by about 90 mV and then decays as the inductor discharges into the capacitor. The rise in voltage indicates an ESR of about 0.18 . In Figure 17, the aluminum electrolytic has been replaced by a Sprague 293D series, a 6 V tantalum device. In this case the output jumps

For switch currents of 100 mA or less, a Shottky diode such as the BAT85 provides a V
of 0.8 V at 100 mA and leakage less
F
than 1 µA. A similar device, the BAT54, is available in a SOT23 package. Even lower leakage, in the 1 nA to 5 nA range, can be obtained with a 1N4148 signal diode.
General purpose rectifiers, such as the 1N4001, are not suitable for ADP1110 circuits. These devices, which have turn-on times of 10 µs or more, are too slow for switching power supply applications. Using such a diode “just to get started” will result in wasted time and effort. Even if an ADP1110 circuit appears to function with a 1N4001, the resulting performance will not be indicative of the circuit performance when the correct diode is used.
CIRCUIT OPERATION, STEP-UP (BOOST) MODE
In boost mode, the ADP1110 produces an output voltage that is higher than the input voltage. For example, +5 V can be derived from one alkaline cell (+1.5 V), or +12 V can be generated from a +5 V logic power supply.
Figure 19 shows an ADP1110 configured for step-up operation. The collector of the internal power switch is connected to the output side of the inductor, while the emitter is connected to GND. When the switch turns on, pin SW1 is pulled near ground. This action forces a voltage across L1 equal to V V
and current begins to flow through L1. This current

reaches a final value (ignoring second-order effects) of:

If low output ripple is important, the user should consider the ADP3000. Because this device switches at 400 kHz, lower peak current can be used. Also, the higher switching frequency simplifies the design of the output filter. Consult the ADP3000 data sheet for additional details.
DIODE SELECTION
In specifying a diode, consideration must be given to speed, forward voltage drop and reverse leakage current. When the ADP1110 switch turns off, the diode must turn on rapidly if high efficiency is to be maintained. Shottky rectifiers, as well as fast signal diodes such as the 1N4148, are appropriate. The forward voltage of the diode represents power that is not delivered to the load, so V Schottky diodes are recommended. Leakage current is especially

When the switch turns off, the magnetic field collapses. The polarity across the inductor changes, current begins to flow through D1 into the load, and the output voltage is driven above the input voltage.
The output voltage is fed back to the ADP1110 via resistors R1 and R2. When the voltage at pin FB falls below 220 mV, SW1

The circuit of Figure 19 shows a direct current path from VIN to V

CIRCUIT OPERATION, STEP-DOWN (BUCK) MODE
The ADP1110’s step-down mode is used to produce an output voltage that is lower than the input voltage. For example, the output of four NiCd cells (+4.8 V) can be converted to a +3 V logic supply.
A typical configuration for step-down operation of the ADP1110 is shown in Figure 20. In this case, the collector of the internal power switch is connected to V
and the emitter drives the
IN
inductor. When the switch turns on, SW2 is pulled up towards V
. This forces a voltage across L1 equal to VIN – VCE – V

and causes current to flow in L1. This current reaches a final value of:

Figure 20. Step-Down Mode Operation
When the switch turns off, the magnetic field collapses. The polarity across the inductor changes, and the switch side of the inductor is driven below ground. Schottky diode D1 then turns on, and current flows into the load. Notice that the Absolute Maximum Rating for the ADP1110’s SW2 pin is 0.5 V below ground. To avoid exceeding this limit, D1 must be a Schottky diode. Using a silicon diode in this application will generate forward voltages above 0.5 V that will cause potentially damaging power dissipation within the ADP1110.
The output voltage of the buck regulator is fed back to the ADP1110’s FB pin by resistors R1 and R2. When the voltage at pin FB falls below 220 mV, the internal power switch turns “on” again and the cycle repeats. The output voltage is set by the formula:

OUTPUT
If the input voltage to the ADP1110 varies over a wide range, a current limiting resistor at Pin 1 may be required. If a particular circuit requires high peak inductor current with minimum input supply voltage, the peak current may exceed the switch maxi­mum rating and/or saturate the inductor when the supply voltage is at the maximum value. See the “Limiting the Switch Current” section of this data sheet for specific recommendations.
INCREASING OUTPUT CURRENT IN THE STEP-DOWN REGULATOR
Unlike the boost configuration, the ADP1110’s internal power switch is not saturated when operating in step-down mode. A conservative value for the voltage across the switch in step-down mode is 1.5 V. This results in high power dissipation within the ADP1110 when high peak current is required. To increase the output current, an external PNP switch can be added (Figure
22). In this circuit, the ADP1110 provides base drive to Q1 through R3, while R4 ensures that Q1 turns off rapidly. Because the ADP1110’s internal current limiting function will not work in this circuit, R5 is provided for this purpose. With the value shown, R5 limits current to 2 A. In addition to reducing power dissipation on the ADP1110, this circuit also reduces the switch voltage. When selecting an inductor value for the circuit of Figure 22, the switch voltage can be calculated from the formula:
VSW=VR5+V

POSITIVE-TO-NEGATIVE CONVERSION
The ADP1110 can convert a positive input voltage to a negative output voltage as shown in Figure 23. This circuit is essentially identical to the step-down application of Figure 19, except that the “output” side of the inductor is connected to power ground. When the ADP1110’s internal power switch turns off, current flowing in the inductor forces the output (–V
) to a negative

The design criteria for the step-down application also apply to the positive-to-negative converter. The output voltage should be limited to |6.2 V| unless a diode is inserted in series with the SW2 pin (see Figure 21.) Also, D1 must again be a Schottky diode to prevent excessive power dissipation in the ADP1110.
NEGATIVE-TO-POSITIVE CONVERSION
The circuit of Figure 24 converts a negative input voltage to a positive output voltage. Operation of this circuit configuration is similar to the step-up topology of Figure 19, except the current through feedback resistor R1 is level-shifted below ground by a PNP transistor. The voltage across R1 is V

. However,
BEQ1
diode D2 level-shifts the base of Q1 about 0.6 V below ground thereby cancelling the V
of Q1. The addition of D2 also reduces
BE
the circuit’s output voltage sensitivity to temperature, which other­wise would be dominated by the –2 mV V
contribution of Q1.

The output voltage for this circuit is determined by the formula:
LIMITING THE SWITCH CURRENT
The ADP1110’s R
pin permits the switch current to be
LIM
limited with a single resistor. This current limiting action occurs on a pulse by pulse basis. This feature allows the input voltage to vary over a wide range without saturating the inductor or exceeding the maximum switch rating. For example, a particular design may require peak switch current of 800 mA with a 2.0 V input. If V
rises to 4 V, however, the switch current will
IN
exceed 1.6 A. The ADP1110 limits switch current to 1.5 A and thereby protects the switch, but the output ripple will increase. Selecting the proper resistor will limit the switch current to 800 mA, even if V
increases. The relationship between R
IN
LIM
and maximum switch current is shown in Figure 6. The I
feature is also valuable for controlling inductor current
LIM
when the ADP1110 goes into continuous-conduction mode. This occurs in the step-up mode when the following condition is met:
V
OUT+VD IODE
VIN–V
SW
<

1–DC
where DC is the ADP1110’s duty cycle. When this relationship exists, the inductor current does not go all the way to zero during the time that the switch is OFF. When the switch turns on for the next cycle, the inductor current begins to ramp up from the residual level. If the switch ON time remains constant, the inductor current will increase to a high level (see Figure 25). This increases output ripple and can require a larger inductor and capacitor. By controlling switch current with the I
LIM
resistor, output ripple current can be maintained at the design values. Figure 26 illustrates the action of the I
circuit.

Figure 27. ADP1110 Current Limit Operation
The delay through the current limiting circuit is approximately 800 ns. If the switch ON time is reduced to less than 3 µs, accuracy of the current trip-point is reduced. Attempting to program a switch ON time of 800 ns or less will produce spurious responses in the switch ON time; however, the ADP1110 will still provide a properly-regulated output voltage.
PROGRAMMING THE GAIN BLOCK
The gain block of the ADP1110 can be used as a low-battery detector, error amplifier or linear post regulator. The gain block consists of an op amp with PNP inputs and an open-collector NPN output. The inverting input is internally connected to the ADP1110’s 220 mV reference, while the noninverting input is available at the SET pin. The NPN output transistor will sink about 300 µA.
Figure 28 shows the gain block configured as a low-battery monitor. Resistors R1 and R2 should be set to high values to reduce quiescent current, but not so high that bias current in the SET input causes large errors. A value of 33 k for R2 is a good compromise. The value for R1 is then calculated from the formula:
Figure 28. Setting the Low Battery Detector Trip Point
The circuit of Figure 28 may produce multiple pulses when approaching the trip point due to noise coupled into the SET input. To prevent multiple interrupts to the digital logic, hysteresis can be added to the circuit. Resistor R

, with a
value of 1 M to 10 M, provides the hysteresis. The addition of R
will change the trip point slightly, so the new value for

where VL is the logic power supply voltage, RL is the pull-up resistor, and R

The gain block can also be used as a control element to reduce output ripple. The ADP3000 is normally recommended for low­ripple applications, but its minimum input voltage is 2 V. The gain-block technique using the ADP1110 can be useful for step­up converters operating down to 1 V.
A step-up converter using this technique is shown in Figure 29. This configuration uses the gain block to sense the output voltage and control the comparator. The result is that the comparator hysteresis is reduced by the open loop gain of the gain block. Output ripple can be reduced to only a few millivolts with this technique, versus a typical value of 90 mV for a +5 V converter using just the comparator. For best results, a large output capacitor (1000 µF or more) should be specified. This technique can also be used for step-down or inverting applica­tions, but the ADP3000 is usually a more appropriate choice. See the ADP3000 data sheet for further details.

1.5 V to 65 V Dual-Output Step-Up Converter
This circuit works from a single 1.5 V cell and provides simulta­neous outputs of +5 V and –5 V. The accuracy of the negative output suffers slightly because of the extra diode drop of around

All-Surface-Mount Flash Memory VPP Generator
Figure 34 shows a circuit that can generate the programming voltage, VPP to program flash memory. The key components are the MOSFET and the bipolar transistor. These two devices form a switch that, when ON, allows the ADP1110 to power-up and function as a step-up converter. The output is +12 V at 120 mA. When the MOSFET switch is OFF, the output of the circuit drops to just under +5 V thereby disabling the program­ming capability.
Care should be taken so there is no short-circuit-current limiting in the circuit in either operating mode.

This current must be controlled very closely or permanent damage to the laser diode is likely to be the result.
To ensure that the laser is operating at the proper power level, the actual optical power from the laser should be monitored with a calibrated photodiode or optical power meter. In addition, the actual diode current should also be monitored, and R1 can be adjusted to give the correct output power.
NOTES
1. All inductors referenced are Coiltronics CTX-series except where noted.
2. If the source of power is more than an inch or so from the converter, the input to the converter should be bypassed with approximately 10 µF of capacitance. This capacitor should be a good quality tantalum or aluminum electrolytic.
