DESCRIPTION
The TK65015 Low Power Step-Up DC-DC converter is
designed for portable battery powered systems, capable of
operating from a single battery cell down to 0.9 V.
The output voltage is laser-trimmed to 3.0 V. An internal
detector monitors the output voltage and provides an
active-low microprocessor reset signal whenever the output voltage falls below an internally preset limit. An internal
undervoltage lockout circuit is utilized to prevent the inductor switch from remaining in the "ON" mode when the
battery voltage is too low to permit normal operation.
Special care has been taken to achieve high reliability
through the use of Oxide, Nitride passivation and an
additional polyimide coating. The TK65015 is available in a
very small plastic surface mount package. (SOT-23L)
Pulse burst modulation (PBM) is used to regulate the
voltage at the V
which an oscillator signal is gated or not gated to the switch
drive each period. The decision is made just before the start
of each cycle and is based on comparing the output voltage
to an internally-generated bandgap reference. The decision is latched, so the duty ratio is not modulated within a
cycle. The average duty ratio is effectively modulated by
pin at the IC. PBM is the process in
OUT
the "bursting" and skipping of pulses which can be seen at
the IND pin of the IC.
The TK65015 provides the power switch and the control
circuit for a boost converter. The converter takes a DC
input (typically a single battery cell) and boosts it up to 3
volts. This regulated 3 volt output is typically used to supply
power to a microprocessor-controlled system.

Handling Molded Resin Packages
All plastic molded packages absorb some moisture from the air. If
moisture absorption occurs prior to soldering the device into the printed
circuit board, increased separation of the lead from the plastic molding
may occur, degrading the moisture barrier characteristics of the device.
This property of plastic molding compounds should not be overlooked,
paticularly in the case of very small packages, where the plastic is very
thin.

In order to preserve the original moisture barrier properties of the package,
devices are stored and shipped in moisture proof bags, filled with dry air.
The bags should not be opened or damaged prior to the actual use of the

devices. Once opened the devices should be stored in a low relative
humidity environment (40 to 65%) or in an enclosed environment with
desicant.
