PWM STEP-UP DC/DC CONVERTER
RH5RH××1A/××2B/××3B SERIES
OUTLINE
The RH5RH××1A/××2B/××3B Series are PWM Step-up DC/DC converter ICs by CMOS process.
The RH5RH××1A IC consists of an oscillator, a PWM control circuit, a driver transistor (Lx switch), a refer-
ence voltage unit, an error amplifier, a phase compensation circuit, resistors for voltage detection, a soft-start cir-
cuit, and an Lx switch protection circuit. A low ripple, high efficiency step-up DC/DC converter can be constructed
of this RH5RH××1A IC with only three external components, that is, an inductor, a diode and a capacitor.
These RH5RH××1A/××2B/××3B ICs can achieve ultra-low supply current (no load) –TYP. 15µA –by a new-
ly developed PWM control circuit, equivalent to the low supply current of a VFM (chopper) Step-up DC/DC con-
verter.
Furthermore, these ICs can hold down the supply current to TYP. 2µA by stopping the operation of the oscil-
lator when the input voltage > (the output voltage set value + the dropout voltage by the diode and the inductor).
These RH5RH××1A/××2B/××3B Series ICs are recommendable to the user who desires a low ripple PWM
DC/DC converter, but cannot adopt a conventional PWM DC/DC converter because of its too large supply current.
The RH5RH××2B/××3B Series ICs use the same chip as that employed in the RH5RH××1A IC and are pro-
vided with a drive pin (EXT) for an external transistor. Because of the use of the drive pin (EXT), an external
transistor with a low saturation voltage can be used so that a large current can be caused to flow through the
inductor and accordingly a large output current can be obtained. Therefore, these RH5RH××2B/××3B Series ICs
are recommendable to the user who need a current as large as several tens mA to several hundreds mA.
The RH5RH××3B IC also includes an internal chip enable circuit so that it is possible to set the standby sup-
ply current at MAX. 0.5µA.
These RH5RH××1A/××2B/××3B ICs are suitable for use with battery-powered instruments with low noise
and low supply current.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Absolute Maximum ratings are threshold limit values that must not be exceeded even for an instant under any
conditions. Moreover, such values for any two items must not be reached simultaneously. Operation above
these absolute maximum ratings may cause degradation or permanent damage to the device. These are stress
ratings only and do not necessarily imply functional operation below these limits.

OPERATION OF STEP-UP DC/DC CONVERTER
Step-up DC/DC Converter charges energy in the inductor when Lx Transistor (LxTr) is on, and discharges the
energy with the addition of the energy from Input Power Source thereto, so that a higher output voltage than the
input voltage is obtained.
The operation will be explained with reference to the following diagrams :

T=1/fosc
Step 1 : LxTr is turned ON and current IL (= i1 ) flows, so that energy is charged in L. At this moment, IL(=i1 ) is
increased from ILmin (= 0) to reach ILmax in proportion to the on-time period (ton) of LxTr.
Step 2 : When LxTr is turned OFF, Schottky diode (SD) is turned ON in order that L maintains IL at ILmax, so
that current IL (= i2) is released.
Step 3 : IL (=i2) is gradually decreased, and in the case of discontinuous mode, IL reaches ILmin (=0) after a time
period of topen, so that SD is turned OFF. However, in the case of a continuous mode which will be mentioned
later,the time period (toff) runs out before IL reaches ILmin (=0), so that LxTr is turned ON in the next
cycle, and SD is turned OFF. In this case, ILmin does not reach zero, and IL (=i1) increases from ILmin (> 0).
In the case of PWM control system, the output voltage is maintained constant by controlling the on-time peri-
od (ton), with the oscillator frequency (fosc) being maintained constant.
•
Discontinuous Conduction Mode and Continuous Conduction Mode
In the above two diagrams, the maximum value (ILmax) and the minimum value (ILmin) of the current which
flows through the inductor are the same as those when LxTr is ON and also when LxTr is OFF.
The difference between ILmax and ILmin, which is represented by ∆I, is :

∆I=ILmax–ILmin=VIN · ton/L=(VOUT–VIN) · topen/L
Equation 1
wherein T=1/fosc=ton+toff
duty (%)=ton/T · 100=ton · fosc · 100
topen≤toff
In Equation 1, VIN · ton/L and (VOUT–VIN) · topen/L are respectively show the change in the current at ON, and the
change in the current at OFF.
10
RH5RH
When the output current (IOUT) is relatively small, topen<toff as illustrated in the above diagram. In this case,
the energy charged in the inductor during the time period of ton is discharged in its entirely during the time peri-
od of toff, so that ILmin becomes zero (ILmin=0). When IOUT is gradually increased, topen eventually becomes
equal to toff (topen=toff), and when IOUT is further increased. ILmin becomes larger than zero (ILmin>0). The
former mode is referred to as the discontinuous mode and the latter mode is referred to as the continuous mode.
In the continuous mode, when Equation 1 is solved for ton and the solution is tonc,
................................................................................................
tonc =T · (1–VIN/VOUT)
Equation 2
When ton<tonc, the mode is the discontinuous mode, and when ton=tonc, the mode is the continuous mode.
•
Output Current in Discontinuous Mode
In the discontinuous mode, when LxTr is on, the energy PON charged in the inductor is provided by Equation 3
as follows :
ton
2
PON=∫ 0ton VIN · IL (t) dt =∫ 0 (VIN · t/L) dt
2
2
.................................................................................................
=VIN · ton /(2 · L)
Equation 3
In the case of the step-up DC/DC converter, the energy is also supplied from the input power source at the time
of OFF.
Thus, POFF=∫topen VIN · IL (t) dt =∫topen ((VOUT–VIN) · t/L)dt
0
0
=VIN · (VOUT–VIN) · topen2/(2 · L)
Here, topen=VIN · ton/(VOUT–VIN) from Equation 1, and when this is substituted into the above equation.
3
2
..........................................................................
=VIN · ton /(2 · L · (VOUT–VIN)
Equation 4
Input power is (PON+POFF)/T. When this is converted in its entirely to the output.
PIN=(PON+POFF)/T=VOUT · IOUT=POUT .....................................................................
Equation 5
Equation 6 can be obtained as follows by solving Equation 5 for IOUT by substituting Equations 3 and 4 into
Equation 5 :
2
2
.....................................................................
IOUT=VIN · ton /(2 · L · T · (VOUT–VIN))
Equation 6
The peak current which flows through L · LxTr · SD is
......................................................................................................
ILmax=VIN · ton/L
Equation 7
11
RH5RH
Therefore it is necessary that the setting of the input/output conditions and the selection of peripheral compo-
nents should be made with ILmax taken into consideration.
•
Output Current in Continuous Conduction Mode
When the operation enters into the continuous conduction mode by increasing the IOUT, ILmin becomes equal
to Iconst (> 0), and this current always flows through the inductor. Therefore, VIN · Iconst is added to PIN in
Equation 5.
Thus, PIN=VIN · Iconst+(PON+POFF)/T=VOUT · IOUT=POUT
When the above Equation is solved for IOUT,
2
2
IOUT=VIN · tonc /(2 · L · T · (VOUT–VIN))+VIN · Iconst/VOUT ............................................
Equation 8
Equation 9
The peak current which flows through L · LxTr · SD is
...................................................................................................
ILmax=VIN · ton/L+Iconst
From Equations 6 and 9, the larger the value of L, the smaller the load current at which the operation enters
into the continuous mode, and the smaller the difference between ILmax and ILmin, and the smaller the value of
ILmax.
Therefore, when the load current is the same, the larger the value of L, the easier the selection of peripheral
components with a small allowable current becomes, and the smaller the ripple of the peripheral components can
be made. In this case, however, it must be noted from Equation 6 that IOUT becomes small when the allowable cur-
rent of the inductor is small or when VIN is so small that the operation cannot enter into the continuous mode.
HINTS
The above explanation is directed to the calculation in an ideal case where there is no energy loss caused by the
resistance in the external components and LxSW. In an actual case, the maximum output current will be 50
to 80% of the above calculated maximum output current. In particular, care must be taken because VIN is
decreased in an amount corresponding to the voltage drop caused by LxSW when IL is large or VIN is low.
Furthermore, it is required that with respect to VOUT, Vf of the diode (about 0.3V in the case of a Schottky type
diode) be taken into consideration.

APPLICATION HINTS
When using these ICs, be sure to take care of the following points :
•
•
•
Set external components as close as possible to the IC and minimize the connection between the components
and the IC. In particular, when an external component is connected to OUT Pin, make minimum connection
with the capacitor.
Make sufficient grounding. A large current flows through Vss Pin by switching. When the impedance of the
Vss connection is high, the potential within the IC is varied by the switching current. This may result in
unstable operation of the IC.
Use capacitor with a capacity of 10µF or more, and with good high frequency characteristics such as tanta-
lum capacitor. We recommend the use of a capacitor with a resistance to the voltage being at least three
times the output set voltage. This is because there may be the case where a spike-shaped high voltage is gen-
erated by the inductor when Lx transistor is turned OFF.
•
Take the utmost care when choosing a inductor. Namely, choose such an inductor that has sufficiently small
d.c. resistance and large allowable current, and hardly reaches magnetic saturation. When the inductance
value of the inductor is small, there may be the case where ILX exceeds the absolute maximum ratings at the
maximum load. Use an inductor with an appropriate inductance.
•
•
Use a diode of a Schottky type with high switching speed, and also take care of the rated current.
These ICs are provided with a soft-start circuit. However, there may be the case where the overshoot of the
out put voltage takes place depending upon the peripheral circuits employed and the input/output condi-
tions. In particular, when the input voltage is increased slowly, the occurrence of the overshoot of the output
voltage becomes conspicuous. Therefore in the case where the overshoot becomes a problem, take a counter-
measure against this problem, for example, by clamping the output (OUT Pin) by use of a Zener diode.
The transient response characteristics corresponding to the variations in the input and output are set so as
to be slightly delayed by an internal phase compensation circuit in order to prevent the oscillation. because
of such setting of the transient response characteristics, take care of the occurrence of the overshoot and/or
undershoot of the output voltage.
•
•
The internal phase compensation circuit is designed with the avoidance of the problem of the occurrence of
the oscillation fully taken into consideration. However, there may be the case the oscillation takes place
depending upon the conditions for the attachment of external components. In particular, take the utmost
care when an inductor with a large inductance is used.
The performance of power source circuits using these ICs largely depends upon the peripheral circuits. Take the utmost care in the
selection of the peripheral circuits. In particular, design the peripheral circuits in such a manner that the values such as voltage, current
and power of each component, PCB patterns and the IC do not exceed their respective rated values.
