The R1212D Series are CMOS-based PWM step-up DC/DC converter controllers with low supply current. Each of the R1212D Series consists of an oscillator, a PWM comparator circuit, a reference voltage unit, an error amplifier, a reference current unit, a protection circuit, and an under voltage lockout (UVLO) circuit. A low ripple, high efficiency step-up DC/DC converter can be composed of this IC with some external components, or an inductor, a diode, a power MOSFET, divider resisters, and capacitors. Maximum duty cycle and the soft start time are easily adjustable with external resistors and capacitors. In terms of maximum duty cycle, with or without internal limit can be set by mask options. As for the protection circuit, after the soft-starting time, if the maximum duty cycle is continued for a certain period, the R1212D Series latch the external driver with its off state, or the latch-type protection circuit works. The delay time for latch the state can be set with an external capacitor. To release the protection circuit, restart with power-on (Voltage supplier is equal or less than UVLO detector threshold level). |
