Rainbow Electronics MAX1724 User Manual

General Description
The MAX1722/MAX1723/MAX1724 compact, high-effi­ciency, step-up DC-DC converters are available in tiny, 5­pin thin SOT23 packages. They feature an extremely low
1.5µA quiescent supply current to ensure the highest pos­sible light-load efficiency. Optimized for operation from one to two alkaline or nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) cells, or a single Li+ cell, these devices are ideal for applications where extremely low quiescent current and ultra-small size are critical.
Built-in synchronous rectification significantly improves efficiency and reduces size and cost by eliminating the need for an external Schottky diode. All three devices fea­ture a 0.5N-channel power switch. The MAX1722/ MAX1724 also feature proprietary noise-reduction circuitry, which suppresses electromagnetic interference (EMI) caused by the inductor in many step-up applications. The family offers different combinations of fixed or adjustable outputs, shutdown, and EMI reduction (see Selector Guide).

Detailed Description
The MAX1722/MAX1723/MAX1724 compact, high-effi­ciency, step-up DC-DC converters are guaranteed to start up with voltages as low as 0.91V and operate with an input voltage down to 0.8V. Consuming only 1.5µA of quiescent current, these devices include a built-in syn­chronous rectifier that reduces cost by eliminating the need for an external diode and improves overall efficien­cy by minimizing losses in the circuit (see Synchronous Rectification section). The MAX1722/MAX1724 feature a clamp circuit that reduces EMI due to inductor ringing. The MAX1723/MAX1724 feature an active-low shutdown that reduces quiescent supply current to 0.1µA. The MAX1722/MAX1723 have an adjustable output voltage, while the MAX1724 is available with four fixed-output voltage options (see Selector Guide). Figure 1 is the MAX1723 simplified functional diagram and Figure 2 is the MAX1724 simplified functional diagram.
PFM Control Scheme
A forced discontinuous, current-limited, pulse-frequency­modulation (PFM) control scheme is a key feature of the
MAX1722/MAX1723/MAX1724. This scheme provides ultra-low quiescent current and high efficiency over a wide output current range. There is no oscillator; the inductor current is limited by the 0.5A N-channel cur­rent limit or by the 5µs switch maximum on-time. Following each on cycle, the inductor current must ramp to zero before another cycle may start. When the error comparator senses that the output has fallen below the regulation threshold, another cycle begins.
Synchronous Rectification
The internal synchronous rectifier eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode, thus reducing cost and board space. While the inductor discharges, the P­channel MOSFET turns on and shunts the MOSFET body diode. As a result, the rectifier voltage drop is sig­nificantly reduced, improving efficiency without the addition of external components.
Low-Voltage Startup Circuit
The MAX1722/MAX1723/MAX1724 contain a low-volt­age startup circuit to control DC-DC operation until the output voltage exceeds 1.5V (typ). The minimum start-

up voltage is a function of load current (see Typical Operating Characteristics). This circuit is powered from
the BATT pin for the MAX1722/MAX1724, guaranteeing startup at input voltages as low as 0.91V. The MAX1723
lacks a BATT pin; therefore, this circuit is powered through the OUT pin. Adding a Schottky diode in paral­lel with the P-channel synchronous rectifier allows for startup voltages as low as 1.2V for the MAX1723 (Figure 3). The external Schottky diode is not needed for input voltages greater than 1.8V. Once started, the output maintains the load as the battery voltage decreases below the startup voltage.
Shutdown (MAX1723/MAX1724)
The MAX1723/MAX1724 enter shutdown when the SHDN pin is driven low. During shutdown, the body diode of the P-channel MOSFET allows current to flow from the battery to the output. V
OUT
falls to approxi­mately VIN- 0.6V and LX remains high impedance. Shutdown can be pulled as high as 6V, regardless of the voltage at BATT or OUT. For normal operation, con­nect SHDN to the input.

BATT/Damping Switch
(MAX1722/MAX1724)
The MAX1722/MAX1724 include an internal damping switch (Figure 4) to minimize ringing at LX and reduce EMI. When the energy in the inductor is insufficient to supply current to the output, the capacitance and inductance at LX form a resonant circuit that causes ringing. The damping switch supplies a path to quickly dissipate this energy, suppressing the ringing at LX. This does not reduce the output ripple, but does reduce EMI with minimal impact on efficiency. Figures 5 and 6 show the LX node voltage waveform without and with the damping switch, respectively.
Design Procedure
Setting the Output Voltage
(MAX1722/MAX1723)
The output voltage can be adjusted from 2V to 5.5V using external resistors R1 and R2 (Figure 7). Since FB leakage is 20nA (max), select feedback resistor R1 in the 100kto 1Mrange. Calculate R2 as follows:
where VFB= 1.235V.

Inductor Selection
The control scheme of the MAX1722/MAX1723/ MAX1724 permits flexibility in choosing an inductor. A 10µH inductor value performs well in most applications. Smaller inductance values typically offer smaller physi­cal size for a given series resistance, allowing the smallest overall circuit dimensions. Circuits using larger inductance values may start up at lower battery volt­ages, provide higher efficiency, and exhibit less ripple, but they may reduce the maximum output current. This occurs when the inductance is sufficiently large to pre­vent the maximum current limit (I
LIM
) from being
reached before the maximum on-time (t
ON(MAX)
)
expires.
For maximum output current, choose the inductor value so that the controller reaches the current-limit before the maximum on-time is triggered:
where the maximum on-time is typically 5µs, and the current limit (I
LIM
) is typically 500mA (see Electrical
Characteristics table).
For larger inductor values, determine the peak inductor current (I
PEAK)
by:
The inductors incremental saturation current rating should be greater than the peak switching current. However, it is generally acceptable to bias the inductor into saturation by as much as 20%, although this will slightly reduce effi­ciency. Table 1 lists suggested inductors and suppliers.
Maximum Output Current
The maximum output current depends on the peak induc­tor current, the input voltage, the output voltage, and the overall efficiency (η):

For most applications, the peak inductor current equals the current limit. However, for applications using large inductor values or low input voltages, the maximum on­time limits the peak inductor current (see Inductor Selection section).
Capacitor Selection
Choose input and output capacitors to supply the input and output peak currents with acceptable voltage rip­ple. The input filter capacitor (CIN) reduces peak cur­rents drawn from the battery and improves efficiency. Low equivalent series resistance (ESR) capacitors are recommended. Ceramic capacitors have the lowest ESR, but low ESR tantalum or polymer capacitors offer a good balance between cost and performance.
Output voltage ripple has two components: variations in the charge stored in the output capacitor with each LX pulse, and the voltage drop across the capacitor’s ESR caused by the current into and out of the capaci­tor:

PEAK
is the peak inductor current (see Inductor Selection section). For ceramic capacitors, the output voltage ripple is typically dominated by V
RIPPLE(C)
. For example, a 10µF ceramic capacitor and a 10µH induc­tor typically provide 75mV of output ripple when step­ping up from 3.3V to 5V at 50mA. Low input-to-output voltage differences (i.e. two cells to 3.3V) require high­er output capacitor values.
Capacitance and ESR variation of temperature should be considered for best performance in applications with wide operating temperature ranges. Table 2 lists suggested capacitors and suppliers.
PC Board Layout Considerations
Careful PC board layout is important for minimizing ground bounce and noise. Keep the ICs GND pin and the ground leads of the input and output capacitors less than 0.2in (5mm) apart using a ground plane. In addition, keep all connections to FB (MAX1722/MAX1723 only) and LX as short as possible.
