XC6222 Series
■OPERATIONAL EXPLANATION
The voltage divided by two resistors R1 and R2 is compared with the internal reference voltage by the error amplifier. The
P-channel MOSFET connected to the VOUT pin, is then driven by the subsequent output signal. The output voltage at the VOUT
pin is controlled and stabilized by a system of negative feedback. The current limit and short protection operate in relation to
the level of output current. The thermal protection operates in relation to the level of heat generation. The reverse current
protection operates when VOUT voltage is higher than VIN voltage. Further, the IC's internal circuitry can be turned off via the CE
pin's signal.
<Input and Output Capacitors>
The XC6222 needs an output capacitor CL for phase compensation. Values required for the phase compensation are shown in
the chart below. If a loss of the capacitance happens, stable phase compensation may not be obtained. Please ensure to
use a capacitor which does not depend on bias or temperature too much. For a stable power input, please connect an input
capacitor CIN of 1.0μF between the VIN pin and the VSS pin.
OUTPUT VOLTAGE (V) OUTPUT CAPACITOR VALUE
0.8V~2.05V CL=6.8μF (MIN.)
2.1V~2.45V CL=4.7μF (MIN.)
2.5V~5.0V CL=2.2μF (MIN.)
<Reverse Current Protection>
The XC6222 series includes reverse current protection to prevent the damage to any connected products such as batteries as a
result of current flow from the VOUT pin to the VIN pin. When VIN is smaller than VOUT, the reverse current protection works and
suppress the reverse current to 1.5μA (MAX.). When VIN is smaller then VOUT, the VOUT pin sink current flows from the VOUT
pin to the VSS pin is 95μA (TYP.) as the IC operation current. With the XC6222A/C series, when a low level signal is inputted
to the CE pin, the sink current of the VOUT pin is minimized to 2.8μA (TYP.). However, with the XC6222B/D series, when a low
level signal is inputted to the CE pin, the sink current of the VOUT pin goes through the CL auto discharge circuit to the VSS pin
which may result in the IC being damaged. In this case, please do not connect a power supply to the VOUT pin.
Please also note when the XC6222A/C series connects external power supply to the VOUT pin, please use it within the range
from VOUT(E) (actual output voltage value)or more to 6.0V or less. When the voltage less than VOUT(E) is applied to the VOUT pin by
adding a power supply or battery, a low level signal should be input to the CE pin for chip disable in order to protect a reverse
current at VIN < VOUT.
Example) The voltage less than VOUT(E) (actual output voltage value) is applied to the VOUT pin as "OR" connection.

●Output Capacitor (CL) Table
* When the CE pin is connected to the VIN pin, an output voltage 2.8V
from the step-up DC/DC goes through to the VIN pin as reverse
current up to around 150mA if the USB connection is removed from
the VIN pin (VIN < VOUT). CE pin voltage should be maintained low
when the USB connection is removed from the VIN pin.
