Voltage Code
The TK651xx 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
TK651xx provides the power switch and the control circuit
for a boost converter. The converter takes a DC input and
boosts it up to a regulated 2.7, 3.0 or 3.3 V output .
The output voltage is laser-trimmed. A Low Output Indica-
tor detector (LOI) 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 (UVLO) 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. Pulse Burst Modulation (PBM) is used to regu-
late the voltage at the V
OUT pin of the IC. PBM is the process
in 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 refer-
ence. The decision is latched, so the duty ratio is not
modulated within a cycle. The average duty ratio is effec-
tively modulated by the “bursting” and skipping of pulses
which can be seen at the SW pin of the IC. Special care
should be taken to achieve reliability through the use of
Oxide, double Nitride passivation. The TK651xx is avail-
able in a miniature 6-pin SOT-23L-6 surface mount pack-
age.
Customized levels of accuracy in oscillator frequency and
output voltage are available.
