To
Discontinuous Operating mode, multiply the energy
going into the inductor every switching cycle by the
number of cycles per second (switching frequency).
This number must be greater than the maximum input
power.
The equation for the energy flowing into the inductor is
given below. The input power to the system is equal to
energy times time.
The inductor peak current is calculated using the
equation below:
Using a typical inductance of 3.3 µH, the peak current
in the inductor is calculated below:
At 3.8V and below, the converter can boost to 14V
while operating in the Continuous mode.
For this example, a 3.3 µH inductor is too large, a
2.2 µH inductor is selected.
As the inductance is lowered, the peak current drawn
from the input at all loads is increased. The best choice
of inductance for high boost ratios is the maximum
inductance
discontinuous operation.
For lower boost-ratio applications (3.3V to 5.0V), a
3.3 µH inductor or larger is recommended. In these
cases, the inductor operates in Continuous Current
mode.

There are a couple of key consideration’s when
selecting the proper MOSFET for the boost design. A

Selecting MOSFETs with lower R

in higher total gate charge and input capacitance, slow-
ing the transition time of the MOSFET and resulting in
increased switching losses.

The external boost diode also switches on and off at the
switching frequency and requires very fast turn-on and
turn-off times. For most applications, Schottky diodes
are recommended. The voltage rating of the Schottky
diode must be rated for maximum boost output voltage.
For example, 12V output boost converter, the diode
should be rated for 12V plus margin. A 20V or 30V
Schottky diode is recommended for a 12V output appli-
cation. Schottky diodes also have low forward-drop
characteristics, another desired feature for switching
power supply applications.
