Product details
Overview
ILC6383CIR33X from Fairchild Semiconductor is a fixed 3.3V synchronous step-up DC-DC converter for single-to-three-cell battery inputs, delivering up to 375mA at 3.3V from 3V input, featuring true load disconnect in shutdown, 300kHz ±15% internal oscillator, and power-good (POK) output. It targets portable wireless devices requiring high efficiency and low-noise operation.
For engineers reviewing the ILC6383CIR33X datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include startup voltage (0.9V), PFM/PWM mode selectability via SEL pin, ±3.5% output accuracy over –40°C to +85°C, and MSOP-8 package compatibility with space-constrained handheld designs.
Technical Context
The ILC6383CIR33X implements dual-mode control: PWM for noise-sensitive loads (fixed 300kHz switching) and PFM for light-load efficiency optimization, selected via SEL pin logic level. Its synchronous rectification eliminates external diode requirements and enables true load disconnect when LBI/SD is pulled low.
It integrates a 1.25V reference for low-battery detection (LBI/SD pin), open-drain POK flag with 92–98% VOUT threshold and 50mV hysteresis, and internal N- and P-channel MOSFETs with RDS(on) of 400mΩ and 750mΩ respectively - enabling efficient boost conversion from 0.9V input.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±3.5% over –40°C to +85°C - ensures stable rail for 3.3V logic and RF subsystems without external feedback components. |
| Input Voltage Range | 0.9V to 3.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), NiMH (0.9–1.4V/cell), and alkaline (0.9–1.5V/cell) sources across 1–3 cells. |
| Max Output Current | 375mA at 3.3V from 3V input - sufficient for GSM/GPRS baseband processors and display backlight drivers in compact form factors. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 300kHz ±15% - avoids audio band (<20kHz) and 455kHz IF band, minimizing EMI in cellular and pager RF sections. |
| Shutdown Input Current | 1µA typical with VOUT = 0V - prevents battery drain during system sleep, critical for multi-day standby in pagers and PDAs. |
| Efficiency | Peak >90% in PWM mode at 50mA - reduces thermal load and extends runtime in thermally constrained palmtop enclosures. |
| Startup Voltage | 0.9V in PWM mode - enables operation down to deeply discharged single-cell batteries, improving usable battery capacity. |
Pinout & Package
ILC6383CIR33X is housed in an 8-lead MSOP (Micro Small Outline Package) with 0.65mm pitch, 3.1mm × 4.65mm footprint, and exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected). Pin 1 is marked by a dot or beveled corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 LX | Inductor switch node | Connects to inductor's high-side terminal; carries pulsed current up to 1A peak - requires low-inductance layout and Kelvin connection. |
| 2 VIN | Battery input | Direct connection to battery anode; accepts 0.9–3.5V; must be decoupled with ≥47µF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| 3 LBI/SD | Low-battery detect input / shutdown control | Pulled low (<0.4V) forces shutdown and true load disconnect; threshold set externally via resistor divider - rejects transients <120ms. |
| 4 SEL | Mode select | Grounded → PFM mode (light-load efficiency); open/high → PWM mode (noise-controlled, full-load performance). |
| 5 POK | Power-good open-drain output | Sinks 2mA when VOUT is within 92–98% of 3.3V; requires external pull-up to enable system power sequencing or reset assertion. |
| 6 LBO | Low-battery open-drain output | Sinks 2mA when VIN falls below user-set LBI threshold; complements LBI/SD pin - used for battery status indication. |
| 7 GND | Power and signal ground | Must connect to low-impedance star ground point; separate from noisy power traces to minimize reference noise on LBI/SD and POK. |
| 8 VOUT | Regulated 3.3V output | Supplies downstream circuitry; requires ≥47µF low-ESR ceramic output capacitor placed within 6mm of pin per layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Eliminates external Schottky diode - reduces forward drop losses and improves efficiency by ~5–8% versus diode-based boost converters. |
| User-selectable PFM/PWM mode | SEL pin configures operating mode: PFM extends battery life at <50mA loads; PWM maintains tight regulation and low ripple at full load. |
| True load disconnect in shutdown | LBI/SD <0.4V disables both switches and isolates VOUT from VIN - leakage <10µA prevents battery discharge during storage or deep sleep. |
| Integrated low-battery detector with transient rejection | 120ms hold time on LBI/SD ensures LBO only asserts after sustained low-voltage condition - prevents false triggers from RF burst current spikes. |
| Power-good (POK) flag with hysteresis | 50mV hysteresis prevents chatter during output settling; enables reliable microcontroller reset or enable sequencing in multi-rail systems. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for ILC6383CIR33X to start up in PWM mode?
The ILC6383CIR33X guarantees startup in PWM mode at 0.9V input with 10mA load, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This allows operation from deeply discharged single-cell alkaline or NiMH batteries, extending usable battery life beyond conventional boost converters requiring ≥1.8V startup.
Does ILC6383CIR33X support automatic mode switching between PFM and PWM?
No, ILC6383CIR33X does not auto-switch modes. The SEL pin must be externally controlled: tied to GND for forced PFM operation (optimal for <50mA loads), or left open/floating for forced PWM operation (recommended for noise-sensitive or high-current applications). No internal logic performs dynamic mode selection.
How is the power-good (POK) output of ILC6383CIR33X configured and used?
The POK pin (pin 5) is an open-drain output that pulls low until VOUT reaches 92–98% of 3.3V, then releases to allow external pull-up. It requires a pull-up resistor (typically 10kΩ to VOUT or system rail) to generate a logic-high signal for microcontroller reset or enable sequencing - ensuring downstream circuits power only when regulation is stable.
Can ILC6383CIR33X be used with a 5V input source?
No, ILC6383CIR33X has an absolute maximum VIN rating of 7V but is designed for 1–3-cell battery inputs (0.9–3.5V typical). Applying 5V exceeds recommended operating conditions and risks damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings. For 5V input, use a buck regulator or dedicated wide-input boost IC instead.
What is the purpose of the LBI/SD pin on ILC6383CIR33X, and how is it connected?
The LBI/SD pin (pin 3) serves dual functions: low-battery detection input and shutdown control. When pulled below 0.4V, it forces shutdown and true load disconnect. For battery monitoring, it connects to a resistor divider from VIN to set threshold (e.g., 2.8V cutoff); internal 1.25V reference compares against this voltage with 120ms hold time to reject transients.
