3GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TEA1201TS is a fully integrated battery power unit
including ahigh-efficiency DC-to-DC converter which runs
from a 1-cell NiCd or NiMH battery, a currentswitch and a
lowbattery detector. Thecircuit can bearrangedin several
ways to optimize the application circuit of a power supply
system. Therefore, the DC-to-DC converter can be
arranged for upconversionor downconversionand the low
battery detector can be configured for several types of
batteries. Accurate low battery detection is possible while
all other blocks are switched off.
The DC-to-DC converter features efficient, compact and
dynamic power conversion using a digital control concept
comparable with Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and
Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM), integrated CMOS
power switches with a very low R
DSon
and fully
synchronous rectification.
The device operates at a switching frequency of 600 kHz
which enables the use of external components with
minimum size. The switching frequency can be
synchronized to an external high frequency clock signal.
Optionally, the device can be kept in PWM control mode
only. Deadlock is prevented by an on-chip undervoltage
lockout circuit.
Active current limiting enables efficient conversion in
pulsed-load systems such as Global System for Mobile
communication (GSM) and Digital Enhanced Cordless
Telecommunications (DECT).
The switch canbe usedto controlthe connection of (a part
of) the output load. It shows a low pin-to-pin resistance of
500 mΩ.
The low battery detector has a built-in detection level
which is optimum for a 1-cell NiCd or NiMH battery.

The TEA1201TSDC-to-DC converter isable to operatein
PFM (discontinuous conduction) or PWM (continuous
conduction) operating mode. All switching actions are
completely determined by a digital control circuit which
usesthe output voltagelevelas its controlinput.This novel
digital approach enables the use of a new pulse widthand
frequency modulation scheme, which ensures optimum
power efficiency over the complete range of operation of
the converter.
When high output power is requested, the device will
operate in PWM (continuousconduction) operatingmode.
This results in minimum AC currents in the circuit
components and hence optimum efficiency, minimum
costs and low EMC. In this operating mode, the output
voltage isallowed to varybetween two predefined voltage
levels. As long as the output voltage stays within this
so-called window, switching continues in a fixed pattern.
When the output voltage reaches one of the window
borders, the digital controller immediately reacts by
adjusting the pulse width and inserting a current step in
such a waythat theoutput voltagestays within the window
with higher or lower current capability. This approach
enables very fast reaction to load variations. Figure 3
shows the response of the converter to a sudden load
increase. The upper trace shows the output voltage.
The ripple on top of the DC level is a result of the current
in the output capacitor, which changes in sign twice per
cycle, times the internal Equivalent Series Resistance
(ESR) of the capacitor. After each ramp-down of the
inductor current, i.e. when the ESR effect increases the
output voltage, the converter determines what to do in the
next cycle. As soon as more loadcurrent is taken from the
output the output voltage starts to decay.
Figure 4 shows the spread of the output voltage window.
The absolute value is mostly dependent on spread, while
the actual window size (V
affected. For one specific device, the output voltage will
not vary more than 2% (typical value).
In lowoutput power situations,the TEA1201TS willswitch
over to PFM (discontinuous conduction) operating mode.
In this mode, regulation information from an earlier PWM
operating mode is used. This results in optimum inductor
peak current levels in the PFM mode, which are slightly
larger than the inductor ripple current in the PWM mode.
As a result,the transitionbetween PFMand PWM mode is
optimum under all circumstances. In the PFM mode the
TEA1201TS regulates the output voltage to the high
window limit as shown in Fig.3.
8.2Synchronous rectification
For optimum efficiency over the whole load range,
synchronous rectifiers inside the TEA1201TS ensure that
during the whole second switching phase, all inductor
current will flow through the low-ohmic power MOSFETs.
Special circuitry is included which detects when the
inductorcurrent reaches zero.Followingthis detection, the
digital controller switches off the power MOSFET and
proceeds with regulation.
8.3Start-up
Start-up from low input voltage in the boost mode is
realized by anindependent start-uposcillator, which starts
switching the N-type power MOSFET as soon as the
low-battery detector detects a sufficiently high voltage.
The inductor current is limited internally to ensure
soft-starting. The switch actions of the start-up oscillator
will increase the output voltage. As soon as the output
voltage is high enough for normal regulation, the digital
control system takes control over the power MOSFETs.

When theoutput voltage becomes lower than the low limit
of the window, acorrective action is taken bya ramp-upof
theinductor currentduring a muchlonger time. Asa result,
the DC current level is increased and normal PWM control
can continue. The output voltage (including ESR effect) is
again within the predefined window.

8.4Undervoltage lockout
As a result of too high a load or disconnection of the input
power source, the output voltage can drop so low that
normal regulation cannot beguaranteed. In this event, the
device switches back to start-up mode. If the output
voltage drops even further, switching is stopped
completely.
