Fixed output voltage range: 1.8V to 3.3V Output current: 60mA @ VIN=0.9V, VOUT=1.8V AS1310 operates from a 0.7V to 3.6V supply and supports output voltages between 1.8V and 3.3V. Besides the available AS1310 standard variants any variant with output voltages in 50mV steps are available. See Ordering Information on page 18 for more information. Quiescent current: 1A (typ.) Shutdown current: < 100nA Up to 92% efficiency If the input voltage exceeds the output voltage the device is in a feed-through mode and the input is directly connected to the output voltage. Output disconnect in shutdown Feedthrough mode when VIN > VOUT In light load operation, the device enters a sleep mode when most of the internal operating blocks are turned off in order to save power. This mode is active approximately 50s after a current pulse provided that the output is in regulation. Adjustable low battery detection In order to save power the AS1310 features a shutdown mode, where it draws less than 100nA. During shutdown mode the battery is disconnected from the output. TDFN (2x2) 8-pin package No external diode or transistor required Over temperature protection 3 Applications The AS1310 also offers adjustable low battery detection. If the battery voltage decreases below the threshold defined by two external resistors on pin LBI, the LBO output is pulled to logic low. The AS1310 is an ideal solution for single and dual cell powered devices as blood glucose meters, remote controls, hearing aids, wireless mouse or any light-load application. The AS1310 is available in a TDFN (2x2) 8-pin package. Figure 1.

There is no continuously operating fixed oscillator, providing an independent timing reference. As a result, a hysteretic or comparator based converter has a very low quiescent current. In addition, because there is no fixed timing reference, the operating frequency is determined by external component (inductor and capacitors) and also the loading on the output. Ripple at the output is an essential operating component. A power cycle is initiated when the output regulated voltage drops below the nominal value of VOUT (0.99 x VOUT). Inductor current is monitored by the control loop, ensuring that operation is always dis-continuous. The application circuit shown in Figure 1 will support many requirements. However, further optimization may be useful, and the following is offered as a guide to changing the passive components to more closely match the end requirement. 8.1.1 Input Loop Timing The input loop consists of the source dc supply, the input capacitor, the main inductor, and the N-channel power switch. The on timing of the Nchannel switch is determined by a peak current measurement or a maximum on time. In the AS1310, peak current is 400mA (typ) and maximum on time is 4.2s (typ). Peak current measurement ensures that the on time varies as the input voltage varies. This imparts line regulation to the converter. The fixed on-time measurement is something of a safety feature to ensure that the power switch is never permanently on. The fixed on-time is independent of input voltage changes. As a result, no line regulation exists. Figure 12.

Expressed as following: V ON T ON = V OFF T OFF (EQ 4) Voltages are those measured across the inductor during each time segment. Figure 13 shows this graphically with the shaded segments marked "A & B". Re-arranging (EQ 4): V OUT - V IN T ON ------------ = ---------------------------V IN T OFF (EQ 5) The time segment called TWAIT in Figure 13 is a measure of the "hold-up" time of the output capacitor. While the output voltage is above the threshold (0.99xVOUT), the output is assumed to be in regulation and no further switching occurs. 8.1.2 Inductor Choice Example For the AS1310 VIN_MIN = 0.9V, VOUT_MAX = 3.3V, (EQ 5) gives Ton=2.66TOFF. Let the maximum operating on-time = 1s. Note that this is shorter than the minimum limit on-time of 3.6s. Therefore from (EQ 5), TOFF = 0.376s. Using (EQ 3), LMAX is obtained: LMAX = 1.875H. The nearest preferred value is 2.2H. This value provides the maximum energy storage for the chosen fixed on-time limit at the minimum VIN. www.austriamicrosystems.com/DC-DC_Step-Up/AS1310 Revision 1.7 9 - 19 AS1310 Datasheet - D e t a i l e d D e s c r i p t i o n Energy stored during the on time is given by: E = 0.5L I PK 2 Joules (Region A in Figure 13) (EQ 6) If the overall time period (TON + TOFF) is T, the power taken from the input is: 2 0.5L I PK P IN = --------------------------- Watts T (EQ 7) Assume output power is 0.8 PIN to establish an initial value of operating period T. TWAIT is determined by the time taken for the output voltage to fall to 0.99xVOUT. The longer the wait time, the lower will be the supply current of the converter. Longer wait times require increased output capacitance. Choose TWAIT = 10% T as a minimum starting point for maximum energy transfer. For very low power load applications, choose TWAIT 50% T. 8.1.3 Output Loop Timing The output loop consists of the main inductor, P-channel synchronous switch (or diode if fitted), output capacitor and load. When the input loop is interrupted, the voltage on the LX pin rises (Lenz's Law). At the same time a comparator enables the synchronous switch, and energy stored in the inductor is transferred to the output capacitor and load. Inductor peak current supports the load and replenishes the charge lost from the output capacitor. The magnitude of the current from the inductor is monitored, and as it approaches zero, the synchronous switch is turned off. No switching action continues until the output voltage falls below the output reference point (0.99 x VOUT). Output power is composed of the dc component (Region C in Figure 13): I PK T OFF PREGION_C = V IN -------- ------------2 T (EQ 8) Output power is also composed of the inductor component (Region B in Figure 13), neglecting efficiency loss: 2 0.5L I PK PREGION_B = --------------------------T (EQ 9) Total power delivered to the load is the sum of (EQ 8) and (EQ 9): 2 P TOTAL I PK T OFF 0.5L I PK = V IN -------- ------------- + --------------------------2 T T (EQ 10) From (EQ 3) (using nominal values) peak current is given by: T ON V IN I PK = ------------------L (EQ 11) Substituting (EQ 11) into (EQ 10) and re-arranging: 2 V IN T ON P TOTAL = ---------------------- 0.9T 2TL (EQ 12) 0.9T incorporates a wait time TWAIT = 10% T Output power in terms of regulated output voltage and load resistance is: 2 V OUT P OUT = ----------------R LOAD (EQ 13) Combining (EQ 12) and (EQ 13): 2 2 V IN T ON V OUT - 0.9T ---------------- = --------------------R LOAD 2TL (EQ 14) Symbol reflects total energy loss between input and output and is approximately 0.8 for these calculations. Use (EQ 14) to plot duty cycle (TON/T) changes for various output loadings and changes to VIN. www.austriamicrosystems.com/DC-DC_Step-Up/AS1310 Revision 1.7 10 - 19 AS1310 Datasheet - D e t a i l e d D e s c r i p t i o n 8.1.4 Input Capacitor Selection The input capacitor supports the triangular current during the on-time of the power switch, and maintains a broadly constant input voltage during this time. The capacitance value is obtained from choosing a ripple voltage during the on-time of the power switch. Additionally, ripple voltage is generated by the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the capacitor. For worst case, use maximum peak current values from the datasheet. I PEAK T ON C IN = ------------------------V RIPPLE (EQ 15) Using TON = 1s, and IPEAK = 480mA, and VRIPPLE = 50mV, EQ 15 yields: CIN = 9.6F Nearest preferred would be 10F. V PK _ RIPPLE _ ESR I PK R ESR (EQ 16) Typically, the ripple due to ESR is not dominant. ESR for the recommended capacitors (Murata GMR), ESR = 5m to 10m. For the AS1310, maximum peak current is 480mA. Ripple due to ESR is 2.4mV to 4.8mV. Ripple at the input propagates through the common supply connections, and if too high in value can cause problems elsewhere in the system. The input capacitance is an important component to get right. 8.1.5 Output Capacitor Selection The output capacitor supports the triangular current during the off-time of the power switch (inductor discharge period), and also the load current during the wait time (Region D in Figure 13) and on-time (Region A in Figure 13) of the power switch. C OUT I LOAD TON TWAIT 0.99VOUT _ NOM (EQ 17) Note: There is also a ripple component due to the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the capacitor. 8.2 Summary User Application Defines: VINmin, VINmax, VOUTmin, VOUTmax, ILOADmin, ILOADmax Inductor Selection: Select Max on-time = 0.5s to 3s for AS1310. Use (EQ 3) to calculate inductor value. Use (EQ 5) to determine off-time. Use (EQ 6) to check that power delivery matches load requirements assume 70% conversion efficiency. Use (EQ 13) to find overall timing period value of T at min VIN and max VOUT for maximum load conditions. Input Capacitor Selection: Choose a ripple value and use (EQ 14) to find the value. Output Capacitor Selection: Determine TWAIT via (EQ 6) or (EQ 13), and use (EQ 16) to find the value. www.austriamicrosystems.com/DC-DC_Step-Up/AS1310 Revision 1.7 11 - 19 AS1310 Datasheet - A p p l i c a t i o n I n f o r m a t i o n 9 Application Information The AS1310 is available with fixed output voltages from 1.8V to 3.3V in 50mV steps.

The part is in shutdown mode while the voltage at pin EN is below 0.1V and is active when the voltage is higher than 0.7V. Note: EN can be driven above VIN or VOUT, as long as it is limited to less than 3.6V. Output Disconnect and Inrush Limiting. During shutdown VOUT is going to 0V and no current from the input source is running through the device. This is true as long as the input voltage is higher than the output voltage. Feedthrough Mode. If the input voltage is higher than the output voltage the supply voltage is connected to the load through the device. To guarantee a proper function of the AS1310 it is not allowed that the supply exceeds the maximum allowed input voltage (3.6V). In this feedthrough mode the quiescent current is 35A (typ.). The device goes back into step-up mode when the oputput voltage is 4% (typ.) below VOUTNOM. www.austriamicrosystems.com/DC-DC_Step-Up/AS1310 Revision 1.7 12 - 19 AS1310 Datasheet - A p p l i c a t i o n I n f o r m a t i o n 9.1.1 Power-OK and Low-Battery-Detect Functionality LBO goes low in startup mode as well as during normal operation if: - The voltage at the LBI pin is below LBI threshold (0.6V). This can be used to monitor the battery voltage. - LBI pin is connected to GND and VOUT is below 92.5% of its nominal value. LBO works as a power-OK signal in this case. The LBI pin can be connected to a resistive-divider to monitor a particular definable voltage and compare it with a 0.6V internal reference. If LBI is connected to GND an internal resistive-divider is activated and connected to the output. Therefore, the Power-OK functionality can be realized with no additional external components. The Power-OK feature is not active during shutdown and provides a power-on-reset function that can operate down to VIN = 0.7V. A capacitor to GND may be added to generate a power-on-reset delay. To obtain a logic-level output, connect a pull-up resistor R3 from pin LBO to pin VOUT. Larger values for this resistor will help to minimize current consumption; a 100k resistor is perfect for most applications (see Figure 16 on page 13). For the circuit shown in the left of Figure 15, the input bias current into LBI is very low, permitting large-value resistor-divider networks while maintaining accuracy. Place the resistor-divider network as close to the device as possible. Use a defined resistor for R2 and then calculate R1 as: V IN R 1 = R 2 ----------- - 1 V LBI (EQ 18) Where: VLBI is 0.6V 30mV Figure 15.

To block the normal operation mode all switches will be turned off. The device is in thermal shutdown when the junction temperature exceeds 150C. To resume the normal operation the temperature has to drop below 140C. A good thermal path has to be provided to dissipate the heat generated within the package. Otherwise it's not possible to operate the AS1310 at its usable maximal power. To dissipate as much heat as possible from the package into a copper plane with as much area as possible, it's recommended to use multiple vias in the printed circuit board. It's also recommended to solder the Exposed Pad (pin 9) to the GND plane. Note: Continuing operation in thermal overload conditions may damage the device and is considered bad practice. 9.2 Always On Operation In battery powered applications with long standby times as blood glucose meters, remote controls, soap dispensers, etc., a careful battery management is required. Normally a complex power management control makes sure that the DCDC is only switched on, when it is really needed. With AS1310 this complex control can be saved completely, since the AS1310 is perfectly suited to support always-on operations of the application. The efficiency at standby currents of e.g. 2As is around 45% (see Figure 17). Figure 17.

The low peak currents of the AS1310 allow the use of low value, low profile inductors and tiny external ceramic capacitors. 9.4 Inductor Selection For best efficiency, choose an inductor with high frequency core material, such as ferrite, to reduce core losses. The inductor should have low DCR (DC resistance) to reduce the IR losses, and must be able to handle the peak inductor current without saturating. A 6.8H inductor with a >500mA current rating and <500m DCR is recommended. Table 4.

Ceramic X5R or X7R types will minimize ESL and ESR while maintaining capacitance at rated voltage over temperature. The VIN capacitor should be 22F. The VOUT capacitor should be between 22F and 47F. A larger output capacitor should be used if lower peak to peak output voltage ripple is desired. A larger output capacitor will also improve load regulation on VOUT. See Table 5 for a list of capacitors for input and output capacitor selection. Table 5.

Long printed circuit tracks can generate additional ripple and noise that mask correct operation and prove difficult to "de-bug" during production testing. Referring to Figure 1, the input loop formed by C1, VIN and GND pins should be minimized. Similarly, the output loop formed by C2, VOUT and GND should also be minimized. Ideally both loops should connect to GND in a "star" fashion. Finally, it is important to return CREF to the GND pin directly. www.austriamicrosystems.com/DC-DC_Step-Up/AS1310 Revision 1.7 15 - 19 AS1310 Datasheet 10 Package Drawings and Markings The device is available in a TDFN (2x2) 8-pin package.
