ZXLD1615
ADJUSTABLE DC-DC BOOST CONVERTER WITH INTERNAL SWITCH IN
TSOT23-5
DESCRIPTION
The ZXLD1615 is a PFM inductive boost converter
designed to provide output voltages of up to 28V
from a 2.5V to 5.5V input supply.
The ZXLD1615 includes the output switch and peak
current sense resistor, and can provide up to 10mA
output current at maximum output voltage. Higher
current is available at lower output voltages.
Quiescent current is typically 60A and a shutdown
function is provided to reduce this current to less
than 100nA in the 'off' state.

Device Description
The device is a PFM flyback dc-dc boost converter,
working in discontinuous mode.
With reference to the chip block diagram and typical
application circuit, the operation of the device is as
follows:
Control loop
When 'EN' is high, the control circuits become active
and the low side of the coil (L1) is switched to ground
via NDMOS transistor (MN). The current in L1 is
allowed to build up to an internally defined level
(nominally 320mA) before MN is turned off. The
energy stored in L1 is then transferred to the output
capacitor (C2) via schottky diode (D1). The output
voltage is sensed at pin 'FB' by external resistors R1
and R2 and compared to a reference voltage V
(1.025V nominal). A comparator senses when the
output voltage is above that set by the reference and
its output is used to control the 'off' time of the
output switch. The control loop is self-oscillating,
producing pulses of up to 5s maximum duration
(switch 'on'), at a frequency that varies in proportion
to the output current. The feedback loop maintains a
voltage of V
maximum output voltage equal to V
The minimum 'off' time of the output switch is fixed
at 0.5s nominal, to allow time for the coil's energy
to be dissipated before the switch is turned on again.
This maintains stable and efficient operation in
discontinuous mode.

*(R1+R2)/R1.
Filtered PWM operation
The input of an internal low pass filter is switched to
V
when the EN pin is high and switched to ground
REF
when the EN pin is low. The output of this filter
drives the comparator within the control loop. A
continuous high state on EN therefore provides a
filtered voltage of value Vref to the comparator.
However, by varying the duty cycle of the EN signal
at a suitably high frequency (f>10kHz), the control
loop will see a voltage, that has an average value
equal to the duty cycle multiplied by V
provides a means of adjusting the output voltage to a
lower value. It also allows the device to be both
turned on and adjusted with a single signal at the
‘EN’ pin. The output during this mode of operation
will be a dc voltage equal to V

. This
Gated PWM operation
The internal circuitry of the ZXLD1615 is turned off
when no signal is present on the 'EN' pin for more
than 120s (nominal). A low frequency signal applied
to the EN pin will therefore gate the device 'on' and
'off' at the gating frequency and the duty cycle of this
signal can be varied to provide an average output
equal to V
accuracy, the gating frequency should be made as
low as possible (e.g. below 1kHz), such that the turn
off delay of the chip is only a small proportion of the
gating period
Further details of setting output current are given in
the application notes.
