The REG711 is a switched capacitor voltage converter, which produces a regulated, low ripple output
voltage from an unregulated input voltage. A wide
input supply voltage of 1.8V to 5.5V makes the
REG711 ideal for a variety of battery sources, such as
single cell Li-Ion, or two and three cell Nickel or
Alkaline based chemistries.
The input voltage may vary above and below the
output voltage and the output will remain in regulation. It works equally well for step up or down without
the need for an inductor, providing low EMI DC/DC
conversion. The high switching frequency allows the
use of small surface-mount capacitors, saving board
space and reducing cost. The REG711 is thermally
protected and current limited, protecting the load and
the regulator during fault conditions. Typical ground
pin current (quiescent current) is 1mA at full load,
60µA with no load, and less than 1µA in shutdown
mode. This regulator comes in a thin MSOP-8 package with a component height of less than 1.1mm.
NOTES: (1) Effective series resistance (ESR) of capacitors is < 0.1Ω. (2) The supply circuit is twice the output short-circuit current. (3) The converter regulates by
enabling and disabling periods of switching cycles. The switching frequency is the oscillator frequency during an active period. (4) See efficiency curves for other
configurations.

DISCHARGE SENSITIVITY
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling
and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation
to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may
be more susceptible to damage because very small parametric
changes could cause the device not to meet its published
specifications.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The REG711 regulated charge pump provides a regulated
output voltage for input voltages ranging from less than the
output to greater than the output. This is accomplished by
automatic mode switching within the device. When the input
voltage is greater than the required output, the unit functions
as a variable pulse-width switch-mode regulator. This operation is shown in Figure 1. Transistors Q1 and Q3 are held off,
Q4 is on, and Q2 is switched as needed to maintain a
regulated output voltage.

Step-Down (Buck) Mode

When the input voltage is less than the required output

operation, as shown in Figure 2.

A conversion clock of 50% duty cycle is generated. During
the first half cycle the FET switches are configured as shown
in Figure 2A, and C
charges to VIN. During the second
PUMP
half cycle the FET switches are configured as shown in
Figure 2B, and the voltage on C
is added to VIN. The
PUMP
output voltage is regulated by skipping clock cycles as
necessary.
PEAK CURRENT REDUCTION
In normal operation, the charging of the pump and output
capacitors usually leads to relatively high peak input currents which can be much higher than that of the average load
current. The regulator incorporates circuitry to limit the
input peak current, lowering the total EMI production of the
device and lowering output voltage ripple and input current
ripple. Input capacitor (C
) supplies most of the charge
IN
required by input current peaks.
PROTECTION
The regulator has thermal shutdown circuitry that protects it
from damage caused by overload conditions. The thermal
protection circuitry disables the output when the junction
temperature reaches approximately 160°C, allowing the device to cool. When the junction temperature cools to approximately 140°C, the output circuitry is automatically reenabled. Continuously running the regulator into thermal
shutdown can degrade reliability. The regulator also provides current limit to protect itself and the load.
SHUTDOWN MODE
A control pin on the regulator can be used to place the device
into an energy-saving shutdown mode. In this mode, the
output is disconnected from the input as long as VIN is
greater than or equal to minimum VIN and the input quiescent current is reduced to 2µA maximum.

CAPACITOR SELECTION
For minimum output voltage ripple, the output capacitor
C
should be a ceramic, surface-mount type. Tantalum
OUT
capacitors generally have a higher Effective Series Resistance (ESR) and may contribute to higher output voltage
ripple. Leaded capacitors also increase ripple due to the
higher inductance of the package itself. To achieve best
operation with low input voltage and high load current, the
input and pump capacitors (CIN, C
respectively) should
PUMP
also be surface-mount ceramic types. In all cases, X7R or
X5R dielectric are recommended. See the Typical Operating

A suggested PCB routing is shown in Figure 4. The trace
lengths from the input and output capacitors have been kept
as short as possible. A star ground system has been implemented, with pin 5 as the center of the star. No ground plane

TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements
for all 6 substances, including the requirement that lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered
at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and
package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS
compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame
retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous material)
