NCP1402
200 mA, PFM Step-Up
Micropower Switching
Regulator
The NCP1402 series are monolithic micropower step−up DC to DC
converter that are specially designed for powering portable equipment
from one or two cell battery packs.These devices are designed to
startup with a cell voltage of 0.8 V and operate down to less than
0.3 V. With only three external components, this series allow a simple
means to implement highly efficient converters that are capable of up
to 200 mA of output current at Vin = 2.0 V, VOUT = 3.0 V.
Each device consists of an on−chip PFM (Pulse Frequency
Modulation) oscillator, PFM controller, PFM comparator, soft−start,
voltage reference, feedback resistors, driver, and power MOSFET
switch with current limit protection. Additionally, a chip enable
feature is provided to power down the converter for extended battery
life.
The NCP1402 device series are available in the Thin SOT−23−5
package with five standard regulated output voltages. Additional
voltages that range from 1.8 V to 5.0 V in 100 mV steps can be
manufactured.

DETAILED OPERATING DESCRIPTION
Operation
The NCP1402 series are monolithic power switching
regulators optimized for applications where power drain
must be minimized. These devices operate as variable
frequency, voltage mode boost regulators and designed to
operate in continuous conduction mode. Potential
applications include low powered consumer products and
battery powered portable products.
The NCP1402 series are low noise variable frequency
voltage−mode DC−DC converters, and consist of Soft−Start
circuit, feedback resistor, reference voltage, oscillator, PFM
comparator, PFM control circuit, current limit circuit and
power switch. Due to the on−chip feedback resistor network,
the system designer can get the regulated output voltage
from 1.8 V to 5 V with a small number of external
components. The operating current is typically 30 A
(VOUT = 1.9 V), and can be further reduced to about 0.6 A
when the chip is disabled (VCE < 0.3 V).
The NCP1402 operation can be best understood by
examining the block diagram in Figure 2. PFM comparator
monitors the output voltage via the feedback resistor. When
the feedback voltage is higher than the reference voltage, the
power switch is turned off. As the feedback voltage is lower
than reference voltage and the power switch has been off for
at least a period of minimum off−time decided by PFM
oscillator, the power switch is then cycled on for a period of
on−time also decided by PFM oscillator, or until current
limit signal is asserted. When the power switch is on, current
ramps up in the inductor, storing energy in the magnetic
field. When the power switch is off, the energy in the
magnetic field is transferred to output filter capacitor and the
load. The output filter capacitor stores the charge while the
inductor current is high, then holds up the output voltage
until next switching cycle.
Soft−Start
There is a Soft−Start circuit in NCP1402. When power is
applied to the device, the Soft−Start circuit pumps up the
output voltage to approximately 1.5 V at a fixed duty cycle, the
level at which the converter can operate normally. What is
more, the startup capability with heavy loads is also improved.
Regulated Converter Voltage (VOUT)
The VOUT is set by an internal feedback resistor network.
This is trimmed to a selected voltage from 1.8 to 5.0 V range
in 100 mV steps with an accuracy of $2.5%.
Current Limit
The NCP1402 series utilizes cycle−by−cycle current
limiting as a means of protecting the output switch
MOSFET from overstress and preventing the small value
inductor from saturation. Current limiting is implemented
by monitoring the output MOSFET current build−up during
conduction, and upon sensing an overcurrent conduction
immediately turning off the switch for the duration of the
oscillator cycle.
The voltage across the output MOSFET is monitored and
compared against a reference by the VLX limiter. When the
threshold is reached, a signal is sent to the PFM controller
block to terminate the power switch conduction. The current
limit threshold is typically set at 350 mA.
Enable / Disable Operation
The NCP1402 series offer IC shut−down mode by chip
enable pin (CE pin) to reduce current consumption. An
internal pullup resistor tied the CE pin to OUT pin by default
i.e. user can float the pin CE for permanent “On”. When
voltage at pin CE is equal or greater than 0.9 V, the chip will
be enabled, which means the regulator is in normal
operation. When voltage at pin CE is less than 0.3 V, the chip
is disabled, which means IC is shutdown.
Important: DO NOT apply a voltage between 0.3 V and 0.9 V to pin CE as this is the CE pin’s hyteresis voltage
range. Clearly defined output states can only be obtained by applying voltage out of this range.

EXTERNAL COMPONENT SELECTION
Inductor
The NCP1402 is designed to work well with a 47 H
inductor in most applications. 47 H is a sufficiently low
value to allow the use of a small surface mount coil, but large
enough to maintain low ripple. Low inductance values
supply higher output current, but also increase the ripple and
reduce efficiency. Note that values below 27 H is not
recommended due to NCP1402 switch limitations. Higher
inductor values reduce ripple and improve efficiency, but
also limit output current.
The inductor should have small DCR, usually less than 1
to minimize loss. It is necessary to choose an inductor with
saturation current greater than the peak current which the
inductor will encounter in the application.
Diode
The diode is the main source of loss in DC−DC converters.
The most importance parameters which affect their
efficiency are the forward voltage drop, VF, and the reverse
recovery time, trr. The forward voltage drop creates a loss
just by having a voltage across the device while a current
flowing through it. The reverse recovery time generates a
loss when the diode is reverse biased, and the current appears
to actually flow backwards through the diode due to the
minority carriers being swept from the P−N junction. A
Schottky diode with the following characteristics is
recommended:
Small forward voltage, VF < 0.3 V
Small reverse leakage current
Fast reverse recovery time/ switching speed
Rated current larger than peak inductor current,
Irated > IPK
Reverse voltage larger than output voltage,
Vreverse > VOUT
Input Capacitor
The input capacitor can stabilize the input voltage and
minimize peak current ripple from the source. The value of
the capacitor depends on the impedance of the input source
used. Small Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) Tantalum or
ceramic capacitor with value of 10 F should be suitable.
NCP1402

Output Capacitor
The output capacitor is used for sustaining the output
voltage when the internal MOSFET is switched on and
smoothing the ripple voltage. Low ESR capacitor should be
used to reduce output ripple voltage. In general, a 47 uF to
68 uF low ESR (0.15 to 0.30 ) Tantalum capacitor
should be appropriate. For applications where space is a
critical factor, two parallel 22 uF low profile SMD ceramic
capacitors can be used.
An evaluation board of NCP1402 has been made in the
size of 23 mm x 20 mm only, as shown in Figures 60 and 61.

PCB Layout Hints
Grounding
One point grounding should be used for the output power
return ground, the input power return ground, and the device
switch ground to reduce noise as shown in Figure 62, e.g.:
C2 GND, C1 GND, and U1 GND are connected at one point
in the evaluation board. The input ground and output ground
traces must be thick enough for current to flow through and
for reducing ground bounce.
Power Signal Traces
Low resistance conducting paths should be used for the
power carrying traces to reduce power loss so as to improve
efficiency (short and thick traces for connecting the inductor
L can also reduce stray inductance), e.g.: short and thick
traces listed below are used in the evaluation board:
1. Trace from TP1 to L1
2. Trace from L1 to Lx pin of U1
3. Trace from L1 to anode pin of D1
4. Trace from cathode pin of D1 to TP2
Output Capacitor
The output capacitor should be placed close to the output
terminals to obtain better smoothing effect on the output
ripple.
