Description
High Current Boost Regulator With Shutdown
Manufacturer
Microsemi Corporation
Datasheet
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ML4872 is a continuous conduction boost regulator
designed for DC to DC conversion in multiple cell battery
powered systems. Continuous conduction allows the
regulator to maximize output current for a given inductor.
The maximum switching frequency can exceed 200kHz,
allowing the use of small, low cost inductors. The ML4872
is capable of start-up with input voltages as low as 1.8V
and is available in 5V and 3.3V output versions with an
output voltage accuracy of ±3%.
An integrated synchronous rectifier eliminates the need
for an external Schottky diode and provides a lower
forward voltage drop, resulting in higher conversion
efficiency. In addition, low quiescent battery current and
variable frequency operation result in high efficiency
even at light loads. The ML4872 requires only one
inductor and two capacitors to build a very small
regulator circuit capable of achieving conversion
efficiencies approaching 90%.
The SHDN input allows the user to stop the regulator from
switching and powers down the control circuitry.

... I OUT MAX ( INDUCTOR SELECTION The ML4872 is able to operate over a wide range of inductor values. A value of 10µ good choice, but any value between 5µH and 33µH is acceptable. As the inductor value is changed the control circuitry will automatically adjust to keep the inductor current under control. Choosing an inductance value of less than 10µ ...

... ML4872 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS OUTPUT CAPACITOR The output capacitor filters the pulses of current from the switching regulator. Since the switching frequency will vary with inductance, the minimum output capacitance required to reduce the output ripple to an acceptable level will be a function of the inductor used.
