Description
The ZXSC100 series is designed for DC-DC applications
where step-up voltage conversion from very low input
voltages is required. These applications mainly operate from
single nickel cadmium or nickel metal hydride battery cells.
The circuit can start up under full load with regulation
maintained down to an input voltage of only 0.926 volts. The
solution configuration ensures optimum efficiency over a wide
range of load currents. Several circuit configurations are
possible with loads up to 2W. The step up output voltage is
easily programmed with external resistors. With its non-
synchronous architecture an output voltage down to the input
voltage level can be achieved. For best performance the
ZXSC100 quiescent current is a small 150μA ensuring
minimum battery drain in no load conditions.
The IC and discrete combination offers the ultimate cost vs.
performance solution for single cell DC-DC conversion.

Pin Descriptions
Pin No. Name Description
1 EM
Emitter of internal drive transistor. Connect to RE in lower power applications. Must be
unconnected in higher power applications.
2 BAS
Only used if increased drive current to the main external NPN switching transistor is required.
(See Note 2).
3 RE
Drive current sense input. Internal threshold voltage set 25mV below V
CC
. Connected external
sense resistor. (Note 2)

SENSE
Inductor current sense input. Internal threshold voltage set to 25mV. Connect external sense
resistor.
6 FB
Feedback sense. Internal threshold set to 730mV. Connect external resistive divider to output
voltage.
7 GND Ground
8
V
DRIVE
Drive output for external switching transistor.
Connect to base of external bipolar transistor. For increased drive current see Note 2
Note: 2. In higher load current applications an additional PNP can be used to increase the drive current of the main external NPN switching transistor.
The PNP base should be connected to BAS pin, its emitter to the RE pin and its collector connected to V
