INFORMATION
STEP-DOWN CONVERTER WITH BATTERY MONITOR
FEATURES
APPLICATIONS
■ Minimum External Component Count (1 coil, 1 cap)
■ Miniature 6 Pin SOT23L-6 Surface Mount Package
■ Up To 95% Efficient
■ Battery Powered Systems
■ Cellular Telephones
■ Pagers
■ Personal Communications Equipment
■ Radio Controlled Systems
■ Toys
■ Extremely Low Operating Current (24 µA)
■ Low Quiescent Current (18 µA)
■ Low Ripple
■ Fast Transient Response
Driving the SB pin low will disable the TK654xx and drop
the quiescent current on the input supply to approximately
18 µA.
■ Linear Dropout Characteristics
■ Short Circuit Protection
■ Regulates Down to 1.8 V
Pulse Current Amplitude control is used to regulate the
voltage at the VOUT pin of the IC. When the output voltage
of the TK654xx drops below the regulation threshold, a
current pulse is transferred from the input supply to the
output. TheTK654xxutilizesaproprietarycontrolscheme,
where the average amplitude of the current pulse is varied
depending upon the current loads. The proprietary
architecture allows fast transient response and minimal
ripple while maintaining ease-of-use and low component
count.
■ Synchronous Rectification
■ Internal Battery Monitor
DESCRIPTION
The TK654xx low power step-down converter is designed
for portable battery systems, capable of operating from a
singleLi-ionbatterycell ormultiplealkalineorrechargeable
(NiCd or NiMH) battery cells (up to 6 V). The TK654xx
provides the power switch, synchronous rectifier, and the
control circuit for a buck step-down converter. Only two
external components are required to complete the step-
down conversion.
The TK654xx is available in a miniature 6-pin SOT23L-6
surface mount package.
TK654xxM
The TK654xx provides laser-trimmed output voltages
ranging from 1.8 V to 3.3 V. The low resistance MOSFET
switch and synchronous rectifier allow average currents
up to 200 mA, while maintaining peak efficiencies up to
95%. A low-battery threshold and turn-off threshold can
be individually programmed by the user, utilizing a single
resistor divider connected to the Low Battery Input (LBI)
pin. When the resistively-divided supply voltage on the
LBIpindropsbelowapproximately1.22V, theLowBattery
Output (LBO) pin will become asserted. The dual-function
LBI pin can alternatively be used as a Standby (SB) pin.
