DESCRIPTION
The SP6648 is an ultra-low quiescent current, high efficiency step-up DC-DC converter ideal for
single cell, dual cell alkaline and Li-Ion battery applications such as digital still cameras, PDAs,
MP3 players, and other portable devices. The SP6648 combines the high-load efficiency
associated with PWM control, with the low quiescent current and excellent light-load efficiency
of PFM control. The SP6648 features 12μA quiescent current, synchronous rectification, a 0.3Ω
charging switch, anti-ringing inductor switch, programmable low-battery detect, under-voltage
lockout and programmable inductor peak current. The device can be controlled by a 1nA active
LOW shutdown pin.

PIN DESCRIPTION
PIN NUMBER
1
PIN NAME
V
BATT
DESCRIPTION
Battery Voltage. The startup circuitry is powered by this pin. Battery
Voltage is used to calculate switch off time: t
OFF
= K
OFF
/ (V
OUT
- V
BATT
).
When the battery voltage drops below 0.61V the SP6648 goes into an
undervoltage lockout mode (UVLO), where the part is shut down.
2
LBI
Low Battery Input. LBI below 0.61V causes the SP6648 pin to pull LBON
pin down to ground. Use a resistor divider to program the low voltage
threshold for a specific battery configuration.
3
LBON
Low Battery Output Not. Open drain NMOS output that sinks current to
ground when LBI is below 0.61V.
Current Limit Resistor. By connecting a resistor R
LIM
from this pin to
ground the inductor peak current is set by I
PEAK
=1600/R
LIM
. The range for
R
LIM
is 9kΩ (for 180mA) to 1.KΩ (for 1.6A).
Shutdown Not. Tie this pin high to V
BATT,
for normal operation. Pull this
pin to ground to disable all circuitry inside the chip. In shutdown the
output voltage will float down to a diode drop below the battery voltage.
Feedback. Connect this pin to GND for fixed +3.3V operation. Connect
this pin to a resistor voltage divider between V
OUT
and GND for
adjustable output operation.
Ground. Connect to ground plane.
Power Ground. The inductor charging current flows out of this pin.
Inductor Switching Node. Connect one terminal of the inductor to the
positive terminal of the battery. Connect the second terminal of the
inductor to this pin. The inductor charging current flows into LX, through
the internal charging N-channel FET, and out the PGND pin.
Output Voltage. The inductor current flows out of this pin during switch
off-time. It is also used as the internal regulator voltage supply. Connect
this pin to the positive terminal of the output capacitor.

THEORY OF OPERATION
Detailed Description
The SP6648 is a step-up DC-DC converter that
can start up with input voltages as low as 0.85V
(typically) and operates with an input voltage
down to 0.61V. Ultra low quiescent current of
12μA provides excellent efficiency, up to 94%.
In addition to the main switch, a 0.3Ω internal
MOSFET the SP6648 has an internal synchro-
nous rectifier, increasing efficiency and reduc-
ing the space requirements of an external diode.
An internal inductive-damping switch signifi-
cantly reduces inductive ringing for low-noise,
high efficiency operation. If the supply voltage
drops below 0.61V the SP6648 goes into under
voltage lock-out mode, thus opening both inter-
nal switches. An externally programmable low
battery detector with open drain output provides
the ability to flag a battery-low condition. The
inductor peak current is externally program-
mable to allow for a range of inductor values.
Date: 6/7/06 Rev B
Control Scheme
A minimum off-time, current limited pulse fre-
quency modulation (PFM) control scheme com-
bines the high output power and efficiency of a
pulse width modulation (PWM) device with the
ultra low quiescent current of the traditional
PFM. At low to moderate output loads, the PFM
control provides higher efficiency than tradi-
tional PWM converters are capable of deliver-
ing. At these loads, the switching frequency is
determined by a minimum off-time (t
OFF
,
MIN
)
and a maximum on-time (t
ON
,
MAX
) where:
t
