DS1227
INPUT SUPPLY VOLTAGE
The Kickstarter is capable of operating either in a regu-
lated step-up DC-to-DC conversion (boost) mode or in a
non-regulated supply voltage Pass-Through mode.
In boost mode, the Kickstarter is designed to provide a
regulated +5V output on the VCCO1, VCCO2, or VCCO3
voltage supply output pins from a +3V lithium source.
Figure 1 illustrates the standard configuration for use of
this mode. The BOOST pin should be tied low in order to
enable step-up DC-to-DC conversion. VDCI is used for
the DC power supply input and is tied through an induc-
tor (270 µH typical) to a +3V lithium cell. VDCO is the
main DC output which is switched to the VCCO1, VCCO2,
and VCCO3 outputs. This pin requires a large capacitor
(typically 100 µF) to ground for the boost regulation low
pass output network. Further details of the boost voltage
regulator operation are given in the “Boost Mode Opera-
tion” section of this data sheet.
Figure 2 and Figure 3 illustrate the required configura-
tions to select the supply voltage Pass-Through mode of
operation. In both of these configurations the BOOST
pin should be strapped directly to the VDCO pin. This
connection causes the BOOST pin to remain at a high
level at all times that a battery is connected. As a result,
the internal boost regulator will be disabled when kick-
starting occurs. When a +5V supply is used as the input
DC power source, it should be directly connected to the
VDCO in parallel with a filter capacitor as shown in Figure
2. The VDCI input itself should be grounded in this con-
figuration.
If a +6V supply is used, then it should be connected to
the VDCI pin. A filter capacitor should still be connected
to VDCO. The voltage on VDCO and subsequently on
VCCO1, VCCO2, and VCCO3 (when they are enabled fol-
lowing kickstarting) will be a diode drop below the VDCI
voltage.
In both the Boost and Pass-Through modes, the
DS1227 uses the voltage on VDCO as its own internal
supply.
