The ST619LB is a step-up charge pump DC-DC
converter which delivers a regulated 5 V ±4 %
output at 30 mA and over temperature. The input
voltage range is 2 V to 3.6 V (two battery cells).
It requires only four external capacitor: two
0.22 µF flying capacitors, and 10 µF capacitors at
the input and output.
Low operating supply current (typ. 200 µA) make
the device ideal for small, portable and battery
powered applications. When shut down the load
is disconnected from the input and the supply
current is typically 0.02 µA. The ST619LB is
available in SO-8 package.

ST619LBOperating principle
3 Operating principle
The ST619LB is able to provide a regulated 5 V output from a 2 V to 3.6 V (two battery cells)
input. Internal charge pump and external capacitors generate the 5 V output, eliminating the
need for inductors. The output voltage is regulated to 5 V, ±4 % by a pulse skipping
controller that turns on the charge pump when the output voltage begins to drop. To
maintain the greatest efficiency the internal charge pump of the device operates as a
voltage doubler when V
from 2.0 V to 2.5 V.

In triple mode (see block diagram), when the S1 switches close, the S2 switches open and
capacitors C1 and C2 charge up to V
connected in series between IN and OUT when the S1 switches open and S2 switches
close. In the doubler mode only C2 is used. During one oscillator cycle, energy is transferred
from the input to the charge pump capacitors, and then from the charge pump capacitors to
the output capacitors and load. The number of cycles within a given time frame increases as
the load increases or as the input supply voltage decreases. In the limiting case, the charge
pumps operate continuously, and the oscillator frequency is nominally 500 kHz.

Application informationST619LB
7 Application information
7.1 Charge pump capacitors C1 and C2
The values of charge pump capacitors C1 and C2 are critical to ensure adequate output
current and avoid excessive peak currents. It is suggested to use values in the range of 0.22
µF to 1.0 µF and avoid the use of higher values of C
performance. Ceramic or tantalum capacitors are recommended.
7.2 Input and output capacitors C3 and C4
The type of input capacitor (C3) and output filter capacitor (C4) used is not critical, but it
does affect performance. Tantalum, ceramics or aluminium electrolytic are suggested. For
lowest ripple, use large, low effective series resistance (ESR) ceramic tantalum capacitors.
If the input supply source impedance is very low, C3 can be omitted. The typical application
circuit shows the component values for proper operation using minimal board space. The
input bypass capacitor (C3) and output filter capacitor (C4) should be at least 10 µF. Many
capacitors exhibit 40% to 50% variation over temperature. Compensate for capacitor
temperature coefficient by selecting a large nominal value to ensure proper operation over
temperature.

7.3 Layout consideration
In the below figure, the typical application evaluation board of ST619LB is reported. A good
layout ensures stability and helps maintain the output voltage under heavy loads. For best
performance, use very short connections to the capacitors.
