General Description
Features
The XC9211/9212 series is a group of synchronous-rectification
type DC/DC converters with a built-in 0.6 Ω P-channel driver
transistor and N-channel switching transistor, designed to allow
the use of ceramic capacitors. The ICs enable a high efficiency,
stable power supply with an output current of 400 mA to be
configured using only a coil and two capacitors connected
externally.
P ch driver Tr. Built-in : On resistance 0.6Ω
N ch driver Tr. Built-in : On resistance 0.6Ω (Synchronous)
Output Voltage Range : 0.9V ~ 4.0V (0.1V step)
Fixed output voltage accuracy ±2%
Minimum operating voltage is 1.8 V. Output voltage is internally
programmable in a range from 0.9 V to 4.0 V in increments of
0.1 V (accuracy: ± 2.0%). With the built-in oscillator, oscillation
frequency is selectable from 300 kHz, 600 kHz and 900 kHz to
make available the frequency best suited to your particular
application. As for operation mode, the XC9211 series is of a
synchronous-rectified PWM control type, while the XC9212
series can be manually switched between the PWM control
mode with synchronous rectification and the automatic
PWM/PFM switching control mode with non synchronous
rectification, allowing fast response, low ripple and high
efficiency over the full range of load (from light load to high
output current conditions). The soft start and current control
functions are internally optimized. During standby, all circuits
are shutdown to reduce current consumption to as low as 0.5 µA
or less. With the built-in U.V.L.O. (Under Voltage Lock Out)
function, the internal P channel driver transistor is forced OFF
when input voltage becomes 1.6 V or lower. Two types of
packages, 250 mW (SOT-25) and 100 mW (USP-6B), are
available depending on applications.
