ML9078-001
LSI for power-saving solar power supply control
Outline
ML9078-001 is power supply control LSI which performs selection control for a solar cell power supply and a primary
battery. This LSI consists of a direct switch circuit and a regulator circuit, and each circuit performs the following
operations.
●
Direct switch circuit
-
Primary battery side direct switch circuit (BAT_DIRECT)
x
This always compare the primary battery side voltage (VBAT) with the output voltage (VDO) of
ML9078-001. In case VBAT>VDO, a primary battery side direct switch will be set to ON and the primary
battery side voltage (VBAT) is supplied to the output voltage (VDO).
-
Solar cell side direct switch circuit (SC_DIRECT)
x
This always compare the solar cell side voltage (VSC) with the output voltage (VDO) of ML9078-001. In
case VSC>VDO, a solar cell side direct switch will be set to ON and the primary battery side voltage (VSC)
is supplied to the output voltage (VDO).
●
Regulator circuit
The solar cell side voltage (Vsc) will be limited to be 1.65V(typ) or 3.3V(typ).

Feature
●
Comparison of primary battery power supply voltage (VBAT) and solar cell power supply voltage (VSC) is performed,
and the power supply source is selected automatically.
-
When primary battery voltage (VBAT) is higher than solar cell voltage (VSC), it outputs primary battery voltage
(VBAT) to the output terminal (VDO) of ML9078-001.
-
When solar cell voltage (VSC) is higher than primary battery voltage (VBAT), it outputs solar cell voltage (VSC) to
the output terminal (VDO) of ML9078-001.
●
The adverse current from a solar cell to a primary battery is prevented.
-
When primary battery voltage is low, the direct switch by the side of a primary battery turns off. The adverse
current to a primary battery from a solar cell is prevented, and the primary battery destruction by the adverse
current from a solar cell to a primary battery can be prevented.
●
●
Direct power supply from whether a solar cell output or a primary battery output to the external LSI is available. (at
the time of SCREG=L)
The regulator output voltage is selectable by the external input.
(at the time of SCREG=H)
-
In case SCLV=L : regulator output voltage(VLD) will be limited to be 1.65V(typ) (VSC>=2V, ISC<=0.1mA, 25 °C
conditions)
-
In case SCLV=H : regulator output voltage(VLD) will be limited to be 3.3V(typ) (VSC>=3.6V, ISC<=0.8mA, 25 °C
conditions)
