DESCRIPTION
The TK65020 low power step-up DC-DC converter is
designed for portable battery-powered systems, capable
of operating from a single battery cell down to 0.9 V. The
TK65020 provides the power switch and the control circuit
for a boost converter. The converter takes a DC input and
boosts it up to a regulated 2.5 V output .
The output voltage is laser-trimmed. An internal
Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) circuit is utilized to prevent
the inductor switch from remaining in the “on” mode when
the battery voltage is too low to permit normal operation.
Pulse Burst Modulation (PBM) is used to regulate the
voltage at the V
OUT
pin of the IC. PBM is the process in
which an oscillator signal is gated or not gated to the switch
drive each period. The decision is made just before the
start of each cycle and is based on comparing the output
voltage to an internally-generated bandgap reference.
The decision is latched, so the duty ratio is not modulated
within a cycle. The average duty ratio is effectively
modulated by the “bursting” and skipping of pulses which
can be seen at the SW pin of the IC. Special care has been
taken to achieve reliability through the use of Oxide,
double Nitride passivation. The TK65020 is available in a
miniature 6-pin SOT-23L-6 surface mount package.
For other output levels, please refer to the TK651xx and
TK652xx Toko series of step-up converters.
