GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TC110 is a step-up (Boost) switching controller that
furnishes output currents as high as 300 mA while delivering
a typical efficiency of 84%. The TC110 normally operates in
pulse width modulation mode (PWM), but automatically
switches to pulse frequency modulation (PFM) at low output
loads for greater efficiency. Supply current draw for the 100
KHz version is typically only 50 µA, and is reduced to less
than 0.5 µA when the SHDN input is brought low. Regulator
operation is suspended during shutdown.
Housed in a tiny 5-pin SOT-23A package, the TC110
occupies minimum board space, and uses tiny external
components (the 300 KHz version allows for less than 5 mm
surface-mount magnetics).
The TC110 accepts input voltages from 2.0V to 10.0V,
with a guaranteed start-up voltage of 0.9V.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
TC110 is a PFM/PWM step-up DC/DC controller for use
in systems operating from two or more cells, or in low
voltage, line-powered applications. It uses PWM as the
primary modulation scheme, but automatically converts to
PFM at output duty cycles less than approximately 10%. The
conversion to PFM provides reduced supply current, and
therefore higher operating efficiency at low loads. The
TC110 uses an external switching transistor, allowing con-
struction of switching regulators with maximum output cur-
rents of 300 mA.
The TC110 consumes only 70 µA, typical, of supply
current and can be placed in a 0.5 µA shutdown mode by
bringing SHDN low. The regulator is disabled during shut-
down, and resumes normal operation when SHDN is brought
high. Other features include start-up at VIN = 0.9V, an
externally-programmable soft start time and tiny 5-pin
SOT-23A packaging.
Operating Mode
The TC110 is powered by the voltage present on the
VDD input. The applications circuits of Figures 1a and 1b
show operation in the bootstrapped and non-bootstrapped
modes. In bootstrapped mode, the TC110 is powered from
the output (start-up voltage is supplied by VIN through the
inductor and Schottky diode while Q1 is off). In bootstrapped
mode, the switching transistor is turned on harder because
its gate voltage is higher (due to the boost action of the
regulator), resulting in higher output current capacity.
The TC110 is powered from the input supply in the non-
bootstrapped mode. In this mode, the supply current to the
TC110 is minimized. However, the drive applied to the gate
of the switching transistor swings from the input supply level
to ground, so the transistor’s ON resistance increases at low
input voltages. Overall efficiency is increased since supply
current is reduced, and less energy is consumed charging
and discharging the gate of the MOSFET. While the TC110
is guaranteed to start up at 0.9V the device performs to
specifications at 2.0V and higher.
Low Power Shutdown Mode
The TC110 enters a low power shutdown mode when
SHDN is brought low. While in shutdown, the oscillator is
disabled and the output switch (internal or external) is shut
off. Normal regulator operation resumes when SHDN is
brought high. SHDN may be tied to the input supply if not
used.
Note:
Because the TC110 uses an external diode, a
leakage path between the input voltage and the output node
(through the inductor and diode) exists while the regulator is
in shutdown. Care must be taken in system design to assure
the input supply is isolated from the load during shutdown.
Soft Start
Soft start allows the output voltage to gradually ramp
from 0V to rated output value during start-up. This action
minimizes (or eliminates) overshoot, and in general, re-
duces stress on circuit components. Figure 2 shows the
circuit required to implement soft start. Values of 470K and
0.1 µF for RSS and CSS are adequate for most applications.
Input Bypass Capacitors
Using an input bypass capacitor reduces peak current
transients drawn from the input supply, and reduces the
switching noise generated by the regulator. The source
impedance of the input supply determines the size of the
capacitor that should be used.
Output Capacitor
The effective series resistance of the output capacitor
directly affects the amplitude of the output voltage ripple.
(The product of the peak inductor current and the ESR
determines output ripple amplitude.) Therefore, a capacitor
with the lowest possible ESR should be selected. Smaller
capacitors are acceptable for light loads or in applications
where ripple is not a concern. The Sprague 595D series of
tantalum capacitors are amongst the smallest of all low ESR
surface mount capacitors available. Table 1 lists suggested
component numbers and manufacturers.
Inductor Selection
Selecting the proper inductor value is a trade-off be-
tween physical size and power conversion requirements.
Lower value inductors cost less, but result in higher ripple
current and core losses. They are also more prone to
saturate since the coil current ramps to a higher value.
Larger inductor values reduce both ripple current and core
losses, but are larger in physical size and tend to increse the
start-up time slightly.
A 22 µH inductor, therefore, is recommended for the 300
KHz versions and a 47µH inductor is recommended for the
100KHz versions. Inductors with a ferrite core (or equiva-
lent) also are recommended. For highest efficiency, use an
inductor with a series resistance less than 20m.
The inductor value directly affects the output ripple
voltage. Equation 3 is derived as shown below, and can be
used to calculate an inductor value, given the required
output ripple voltage and output capacitor series resistance:

VRIPPLE ESR(di)
where ESR is the equivalent series resistance of the
output filter capacitor, and VRIPPLE is in volts.
Expressing di in terms of switch ON resistance and time:
Solving for L:
Care must be taken to ensure the inductor can handle
peak switching currents, which can be several times load
currents. Exceeding rated peak current will result in core
saturation and loss of inductance. The inductor should be
selected to withstand currents greater than IPK (Equation 10)
without saturating.
Calculating the peak inductor current is straightforward.
Inductor current consists of an AC (sawtooth) current cen-
tered on an average DC current (i.e. input current). Equation
6 calculates the average DC current. Note that minimum
input voltage and maximum load current values should be
used:
Re-writing in terms of input and output currents and
voltages:
Solving for input curent:
The sawtooth current is centered on the DC current
level; swinging equally above and below the DC current
calculated in Equation 6. The peak inductor current is the
sum of the DC current plus half the AC current. Note that
minimum input voltage should be used when calculating the
AC inductor current (Equation 9).
where: VSW = VCESAT of the switch (note if a CMOS
switch is used substitute VCESAT for RDSON x IIN)
Combining the DC current calculated in Equation 6, with
half the peak AC current calculated in Equation 9, the peak
inductor current is given by:
IPK = IIN(MAX) + 0.5(di)
Output Capacitor
The effective series resistance of the output capacitor
directly affects the amplitude of the output voltage ripple.
(The product of the peak inductor current and the ESR
determines output ripple amplitude.) Therefore, a capacitor
with the lowest possible ESR should be selected. Smaller
capacitors are acceptable for light loads or in applications
where ripple is not a concern. The Sprague 959D series of
tantalum capacitors are amongst the smallest of all low ESR
surface mount capacitors available. Table 1 lists suggested

Board Layout Guidelines
As with all inductive switching regulators, the TC110
generates fast switching waveforms which radiate noise.
Interconnecting lead lengths should be minimized to keep
stray capacitance, trace resistance and radiated noise as
low as possible. In addition, the GND pin, input bypass
capacitor and output filter capacitor ground leads should be
connected to a single point. The input capacitor should be
placed as close to power and ground pins of the TC110 as
possible.
Output Diode
For best results, use a Schottky diode such as the
MA735, 1N5817, MBR0520L or equivalent. Connect the
diode between the FB (or SENSE) input as close to the IC
as possible. Do not use ordinary rectifier diodes since the
higher threshold voltages reduce efficiency.
External Switching Transistor Selection
The EXT output is designed to directly drive an N-
channel MOSFET or NPN bipolar transistor. N-channel
MOSFETs afford the highest efficiency because they do not
draw any gate drive current, but are typically more expen-
sive than bipolar transistors. If using an N-Channel MOSFET,
the gate should be connected directly to the EXT output as
shown in Figure 1. EXT is a complimentary output with a
maximum ON resistances of 43 to VDD when high and 27
to ground when low. Peak currents should be kept below
10 mA.
When selecting an N-channel MOSFET, there are three
important parameters to consider: total gate charge (Qg);
ON resistance (rDS(on)) and reverse transfer capacitance
(CRSS). Qg is a measure of the total gate capacitance that
will ultimately load the EXT output. Too high a Qg can reduce
the slew rate of the EXT output sufficiently to grossly lower
operating efficiency. Transistors with typical Qg data sheet
values of 50 nC or less can be used. For example, the
Si9410DY has a Qg(typ) of 17nC @ VGS = 5V. This equates
to a gate current of:
IGATE(max) = fMAX x Qg = 115 KHZ x 17 nC = 2 mA
The two most significant losses in the N-Channel
MOSFET are switching loss and I2R loss. To minimize
these, a transistor with low rDS(on) and low CRSS should
be used.
Bipolar NPN transistors can be used, but care must be
taken when determining base current drive. Too little current
will not fully turn the transistor on, and result in unstable
regulator operation and low efficiency. Too high a base drive
causes excessive power dissipation in the transistor and
increase switching time due to over-saturation. For peak
efficiency, make RB as large as possible, but still guarantee-
ing the switching transistor is completely saturated when the
minimum value of hFE is used.
APPLICATIONS
Circuit Design
Figure 3 shows a TC110 operating as a 100 KHz
bootstrapped regulator with soft start. This circuit uses an
NPN switching transistor (Zetex FZT690B) that has an hFE
of 400 and VCESAT of 100 mV at IC = 1A. Other high beta
transistors can be used, but the values of RB and CB may
need adjustment if hFE is significantly different from that of
the FZT690B.
Figure 4 and 5 both utilize an N-Channel switching
transistor (Silconix Si9410DY). This transistor is a member
of the LittlefootTM family of small outline MOSFETs. The
circuit of Figure 4 operates in bootstrapped mode, while the
circuit of Figure 5 operates in non-bootstrapped mode.
