Product details
Overview
NCP1411DMR2G from onsemi is a monolithic micropower synchronous rectified PFM step-up DC-DC converter IC designed for battery-powered handheld electronics. It delivers up to 250 mA output at 3.3 V from 2.5 V input, integrates an internal 1.0 A cycle-by-cycle current limit, features a 1.190 V ±0.6% reference with 2.5 mA load capability, and operates with only 9.0 µA typical quiescent current. It enables compact 3.3 V/5.0 V generation from one or two NiMH/NiCd or single Li-ion cells.
For engineers reviewing the NCP1411DMR2G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its Micro8 package footprint, synchronous rectification eliminating external Schottky diodes, Ring-Killer circuitry for EMI suppression in DCM, and logic-controlled shutdown with open-drain LBO output.
Technical Context
The NCP1411DMR2G uses a PFM control scheme with fixed 1.4 µs max ON-time and 0.31 µs min OFF-time to regulate output voltage via feedback to the FB pin. Its internal architecture includes dual power FETs (N-FET main switch + P-FET synchronous rectifier), a dedicated ZLC comparator for zero-current detection in DCM, and integrated Ring-Killer damping switch (M3) to suppress LX node ringing.
It implements a 30 mV hysteresis low-battery detector referenced to the 1.190 V internal bandgap, with LBI/EN serving as combined enable and sense input, and LBO as open-drain output. The REF pin provides a stable 1.190 V reference with ±0.015 mV load regulation and 0.03 mV/°C temperature coefficient.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for NCP1411DMR2G to start switching?
The NCP1411DMR2G guarantees startup at 1.0 V with no load, verified across temperature and process corners. This enables reliable operation from deeply discharged single-cell alkaline, NiMH, or NiCd batteries. Startup behavior depends on external CEN timing capacitor value and RLB1, which must satisfy RLB1 × CEN > 28 ms per the datasheet. At 1.0 V input, NCP1411DMR2G delivers reduced output current but maintains regulation.
How does the Ring-Killer circuit in NCP1411DMR2G reduce EMI?
The Ring-Killer in NCP1411DMR2G employs an internal damping switch (M3) that activates automatically during discontinuous conduction mode to provide a low-impedance path, dissipating residual inductive energy at the LX node. This suppresses high-frequency ringing (typically 20–100 MHz) caused by LC resonance between parasitic capacitance and the power inductor, directly reducing conducted and radiated EMI without requiring external snubbers. Performance is confirmed in Figure 22 of the NCP1411DMR2G datasheet.
Can NCP1411DMR2G drive a 5.0 V output from a single Li-ion cell?
Yes, the NCP1411DMR2G supports adjustable output voltages from 1.5 V to 5.5 V using an external resistor divider on the FB pin. For 5.0 V output from a 3.0–4.2 V Li-ion cell, set RFB1/RFB2 = (5.0/1.19) − 1 ≈ 3.2. At VIN = 3.0 V and VOUT = 5.0 V, it delivers up to ~150 mA continuously while maintaining >85% efficiency. Derating is required above 150 mA due to duty cycle and thermal limits.
What is the purpose of the BAT pin on NCP1411DMR2G?
The BAT pin on NCP1411DMR2G supplies bias voltage to the internal Ring-Killer damping switch (M3). It must be connected directly to the main battery rail-not the output or input capacitor-to ensure proper activation of the Ring-Killer during DCM operation. Leaving BAT unconnected or connecting it to OUT disables Ring-Killer functionality, resulting in increased EMI and potential system noise coupling into sensitive analog circuits.
Does NCP1411DMR2G require an external Schottky diode for normal operation?
No, the NCP1411DMR2G integrates a synchronous P-FET rectifier that eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode in standard operation. However, an optional MBR0502 Schottky diode between LX and OUT is recommended only when starting from ≤1.2 V input to assist initial bootstrap charging. This diode is inactive during normal regulation and does not affect efficiency or thermal performance once the converter is running.
