Overview protection, undervoltage lockout, over temperature protection

This product is a system power management IC with a built-
in 4-channel power management control block. It consists of a
2-channel DC/DC converter with switching FET and a 2-
channel charge pump type DC/DC converter. The DC/DC
converter block offers excellent stability against input voltage
fluctuations with the input voltage feed-forward method. The
output voltage in the charge pump circuit block can be set by
an external resistor using the output voltage feedback method.
This product contributes to a reduction in the parts cost as a
result of the built-in switching FET and phase compensator.

Vlogic (Vo1): Step-down converter Figure 2 Startup Sequence when EN2 is always set to“H”
The Step-down converter applies the pulse
width modulation (PWM) type with built-in EN2
N-channel switching FET. The input voltage
feed-forward method ensures excellent line
EN1
regulation. The phase compensation constant
DLY2
is set by the built-in compensation circuit VGH
Fall time of each channel
depends on load current
and an external ceramic capacitor. The main and feedback resistance.
Vs
switch for the converter is an N-channel FET Vin Vin
for 3.2A power and the gate drive circuit is
the SWB pin reference (source terminal for Vlogic
0V
N-channel switching FET). Power is supplied
to the gate drive circuit from the built-in 4V DLY1 VGL

connected between the SW pin and the OS
pin along with the external flyback diode. DLY1 VGL

VGL (Vo3): Invert charge pump GD

The invert charge pump operates at a fixed

frequency and the output voltage can be set
by the resistance ratio of the external resistor.
When the charge pump input and driver are connected to
the supplied voltage (VIN), the maximum output voltage is
−VIN＋VI OSS. VI OSS includes voltage drops in the output diode
and gate driver. The addition of the charge pump circuit can
increase the maximum negative voltage value.
VGH (Vo4): Step-up charge pump
Like the invert charge pump, the step-up charge pump
operates at a fixed frequency and the output voltage can be set
by the resistance ratio of the external resistor. By providing the
step-up converter output (Vs) or MB39C313 input (VIN) to
the charge pump input (SUP), the maximum output voltage
becomes VSUP＋VS. The addition of the charge pump circuit
can increase the maximum output voltage.
■ Startup sequence
The startup sequence can be set using EN1 and EN2. The
startup sequence timing can be adjusted by the capacitors
connected to DLY1 and DLY2.
When EN1 is set at“H”with EN2 fixed to“H,”Vlogic
starts up first and VGL starts up after delay time DLY1. Vs and
VGH start up simultaneously after delay time DLY2 (Figure 2).
When EN2 is set at“H”with Vlogic already operating with
EN1 at“H,”the delay time DLY2 starts up from the EN2
rising edge (Figure 3). If EN2 is set to“H”before Vlogic
operates, DLY2 operates after the complete operation of Vlogic.
