Maximum Startup Current
It should be noted that for low input voltages the
SP6641 startup circuit can not support large
load currents at startup. In startup the SP6641
needs to boost the output from zero volts using
a charge pump which has a limited current
capacity. Once the output is greater than 1.7 to
1.9V the operate circuit takes over and the
SP6641 can supply much more current. Curves
of maximum resistive load current in startup for
the SP6641A and SP6641B are shown in Fig-
ures 13 & 14 and can be compared with Figure
2, maximum load current in operation. Also,
Table 2 provides SP6641A 3.3V resistive load
current in startup for some low cost 1812 size
chip inductors.
From the curves in Figures 13 and 14, you can
see that for low input voltages, the 22
μ
H induc-
tor has more current capacity at startup than the
10
μ
H inductor, due to more energy per charge
cycle in the relationship
1
/
2
LI
2
. Thus for 1 cell
applications, 22
μ
H is recommended for more
startup current than 10
μ
H.
For 1-cell battery applications, it is recommended
to apply any large load current after the SP6641
has started up, typically in a few millisecs. This
is typically not a problem in many applications
where the load is a processor whose load current
is low until the processor voltage comes up.
