step down mode. The operation is fully automatic and,
beside the output voltage programming, does not need any
further adjustments.
based on a full bridge structure capable to handle either step
up or step down power supply using an external inductor.
This structure brings the capability to operate from a wide
range of input voltage, while providing the accurate 1.80 V,
3.0 V or 5.0 V requested by the smart cards. Beside the
accuracy, the major aim of this structure is the high
efficiency necessary to save energy taken from the battery.
On the other hand, using two independent converters
provides a high flexibility and prevent a total system crash
in the event of a failure on one of the card connected to the
interface.

1. Cycle 1: Q15 and Q4 are switched ON and the
2. Cycle 2: Q1 and Q16 are switched ON and the
inductor L1 is charged by the energy supplied by
the external battery. During this phase, the pairs
Q1/Q16 and Q2/Q3 are switched OFF.
The current flowing into the two MOSFET Q1 and
Q4 is internally monitored and will be switched OFF
when the Ipeak value (depending upon the
programmed output voltage value) is reached. At
this point, Cycle 1 is completed and Cycle 2 takes
place. The ON time is a function of the battery
voltage and the value of the inductor network (L and
Zr) connected across pins 26/27 and 34/35.
A 4 ms time out structure makes sure the system does
run in a continuous Cycle 1 loop.
energy stored into the inductor L1 is dumped into
the external load through Q16. During this phase,
the pair Q15/Q4 and the pair Q2/Q3 are switched
OFF.
The current flow period is constant (900 ns typical)
and Cycle 1 repeats after this time if the CRD_VCC
voltage is below the specified value.
