The TK11811 is a low power, low input voltage DC-DC
converter.
This device can be optimized for use in high or low current
applications through component selection. The output
voltage is selectable for 1.9 or 2.8 V operation and can be
trimmed to any voltage in between.
The frequency of the built-in relaxation oscillator is set by
external components. The internal voltage regulator
provides a stable output voltage. Optimized Toko inductor
components are available.

Note: This test circuit is effective at high load currents. By changing C2 from 3300pF to 0.1 µF, the converter operates in the burst mode. The apparent
frequency of operation drops (70 to 100 kHz) and a larger output ripple occurs during burst mode operation. A ripple filter consisting of Cf and Rf can
be added to the output to reduce noise. The values of C
voltage will drop slightly due to Rf.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Maximize copper foil area connecting to all IC pins for
optimum performance. Place input and output bypass
capacitors close to the GND pin. For best transient behavior
and lowest output impedance use as large a capacitor
value as possible. The temperature coefficient of the
capacitance and Equivalent Series Resistant (ESR) should
be taken into account. These parameters can influence
power supply noise and ripple rejection. In extreme cases,
oscillation may occur. In order to maintain stability, the
output bypass capacitor value should be minimum 10 µF
in case of tantalum electrolytic or 15 µF in case of aluminum
electrolytic.
HANDLING MOLDED RESIN PACKAGES
All plastic molded packages absorb some moisture from
the air. If moisture absorption occurs prior to soldering the
device into the printed circuit board, increased separation
of the lead from the plastic molding may occur, degrading
the moisture barrier characteristics of the device. This
property of plastic molding compounds should not be
overlooked, particularly in the case of very small packages
where the plastic is very thin. In order to preserve the
original moisture barrier properties of the package, devices
are stored and shipped in moisture proof bags filled with
dry air. The bags should not be opened or damaged prior
to actual use of the devices. If this is unavoidable, the
devices should be stored in a low relative humidity
environment (40 to 65 %) or in an enclosed environment
with desiccant.
INDUCTOR NOTES
The output current and efficiency are largely dependant
upon the coil used. A coil with lower DC resistance is
generally better in efficiency than one with a higher DCR
(DC Resistance). The recommended TOKO 395KN-0369
AQ is 1:1 turns ratio transformer with an inductance of
110 µH and Toko 395KN-0370UG is 1:3 turns ratio
transformer with inductance of 60 µH:600 µH. These coils,
or equivalent, should be used. Smaller coils with higher
DCR will not perform as well as the above coil, and the
oscillator will not be stable.
FEEDBACK RC TIME CONSTANT
If a different coil is used other than the one mentioned, the
RC time constant of the feedback loop will need to be
adjusted for optimum performance. Generally, a lower
resistance will give more output current. In fact, R can be
zero; however, lower resistance will sacrifice efficiency at
low output currents as the quiescent current increases. If
the capacitance is increased beyond or below a certain
value, the oscillator will become unstable. The optimum

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (CONT.)
RC values depend upon the operating current, and should
be chosen experimentally using the given values of 3300
pF and 22 kΩ as a starting point.
INPUT/OUTPUT DECOUPLING CAPACITORS
DC-DC converters generate a large ripple current on both
the input and the output of the circuit. The capacitors used
should be as large as possible and have low impedance in
the 300 kHz range. Since low temperatures cause
capacitors to decrease capacitance and increase
Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR), care should be taken
to choose capacitors that have acceptable characteristics
over the temperature range you intend to use. This should
be done experimentally to verify results, as capacitor
performance varies widely from manufacturer to
manufacturer. Tantalum capacitors are generally the best
choice and 10 µF should be adequate for most applications.
LOAD CHARACTERISTICS
TK11811
The TK11811 should not be allowed to start-up under full
load conditions. If this occurs, the output may not stabilize
to the correct output voltage. This can be compensated for,
somewhat, by adjusting the RC of the feedback loop or by
decreasing the output decoupling capacitor. Maximum
current can be drawn after the oscillator has started and
the output has reached nominal output voltage. This is
more critical with input voltages under 1.3 V as the converter
needs to generate sufficient output to ensure correct
internal bandgap and bias voltages.
