GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ML4870 is a continuous conduction boost regulator
designed for DC to DC conversion in multiple cell battery
power 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 ML4870
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 addtion, low quiescent current and variable
frequency operation result in high efficiency even at light
loads. The ML4870 requires only a few external
components to build a very small regulator capable of
achieving conversion efficiencies approaching 85%.
The SHDN input allows the user to stop the regulator from
switching, and provides complete isolation of the load
from the battery.

... SET case conditions to determine suitability. INDUCTOR SELECTION The ML4870 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 changes, the control circuitry will automatically adjust to keep the inductor current under control. Choosing an inductance value of less than 10µ ...

... ML4870 DEISGN 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.
