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

LIM
to VIN. Further informa-

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 Ω 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

the ADP1110 switch is ON, the energy stored in the inductor
on each switching cycle must be must be equal to or greater
than:

inductor increases at the rate of:

the inductor. If the voltage drop across the switch is small
compared to V
IL(t)=

Replacing ‘t’ in the above equation with the ON time of the
ADP1110 (10 µs, typical) will define the peak current for a

inductor energy can be calculated as follows:

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

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.

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 Ω 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,

by the inductor. The required inductor power is derived from
the formula:

the peak current does not exceed 800 mA.
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 Ω. 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

a significant percentage of the total quiescent current.

leakage, and fast turn-on and turn-off times. A surface mount
version, the MBRS130LT3, is also available.
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

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
IN
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:

When operating the ADP1110 in step-down mode, the output
voltage is impressed across the internal power switch’s emitter-

base junction when the switch is off. To protect the switch, the
output voltage should be limited to 6.2 V or less. If a higher
output voltage is required, a Schottky diode should be placed in
series with SW2, as shown in Figure 21.

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
≅0.6V + 0.4 V ≅1V

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

potential. The ADP1110 will continue to turn the switch on
until its FB pin is 220 mV above its GND pin, so the output
voltage is determined by the formula:

Figure 23. A Positive-to-Negative Converter
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
OUT
– 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.
BE
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
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.

Q1 is the ADP1110’s internal power switch, that is paralleled by
sense transistor Q2. The relative sizes of Q1 and Q2 are scaled
so that I
internal 80 Ω resistor and through the R

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 kΩ 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
HYS
, with a
value of 1 MΩ to 10 MΩ, provides the hysteresis. The addition
of R
will change the trip point slightly, so the new value for
HYS
R1 will be:

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

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

Figure 34 shows a circuit that can generate the programming

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.

1.5 V-Powered Laser Diode Driver
Figure 36 shows a circuit suitable for driving many laser diodes
that incorporate a photodiode to monitor the laser diode
current, this circuit makes use of the gain block and currentlimit functions to provide a feedback system based on the
average laser diode current. 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.
