The ST662A is a regulated charge pump DC-DC
converter. It provides 12 V ± 5 % output voltage to
program byte-wide Flash memory, and can supply
30 mA output current from input as low as 4.75 V.
A logic controlled shut down pin that interfaces
directly with microprocessor reduces the supply
current to only 1 µA. The ST662AB is available as
Automotive Grade in SO-8 package. This device
is qualified according to the specification AECQ100 of the Automotive market, in the
temperature range - 40 °C to 125 °C, and the
statistical tests PAT, SYL, SBL are performed.
The ST662 is an IC developed to provide a 12 V regulated output 30 mA from voltage input
as low as 4.75 without any inductors. It is useful for a wide range of applications and its
performances make it ideal for Flash memory programming supply.
An evaluation kit is provided to facilitate the application. This include a single-side demo
board designed for surface-mount components.The operating principle of ST662 (see
Figure 12) is to charge C1 and C2 capacitor by closing the S1 switch (while S2 is opened) at
the V
in series one to each other, and both are in series with V
is applied to the capacitor C4. This works as voltage triple. An amplifier error checks the
output voltage and blocks the oscillator if the output voltage is greater than 12 V. The
shutdown pin is internally pulled to V
+12 V. Figure 13 shows the transition time of the shut down pin when the V

input, the V

is low as 1 µA. The Figure 14 shows the transition time of the shut down pin
Based on fast charge/discharge of capacitors, this circuit involves high di/dt values limited
only by R
inductive paths and place capacitors as close as possible to the device.
A good layout design is strongly recommended for noise reason. For best performance, use
very short connections to the capacitors and the values shown in Tab l e 7 .
C3 and C4 must have low ESR in order to minimize the output ripple. Their values can be
reduced to 2 µF and 1 µF, respectively, when using ceramic capacitors, but must be of 10 µF
or larger if aluminium electrolytic are chosen.
C5 must be placed as close to the device as possible and could be omitted if very low output
noise performance are not required.

How to increase output current or output voltage capabilityST662AB, ST662AC
8 How to increase output current or output voltage
capability
Current capability is limited by RON of internal switches. It is possible to increase it
connecting in parallel two or more ST662A devices; each one of them can supply 30 mA.
The Figure 19 shows the electric schematic. The capacitors C3, C4 and C5 must be placed
very close to the ICs on the board. If this is not possible, you can place two different
capacitors, each of them of half value, very close to the respective integrated circuit.
Figure 23 show the output current capability of the proposed circuit.
If an output voltage greater than 12 V is required, it’s possible to realize the circuit of the
following diagram Figure 22. The relevant output current capability is shown in Figure 24 in
which is shown the output voltage vs. load current.
