GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ML4871 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 ML4871
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 ML4871 requires only one inductor and two
capacitors to build a very small regulator circuit capable
of achieving conversion efficiencies approaching 90%.
The circuit also contains a RESET output which goes low
when the DETECT input drops below 1.25V.

... V OUT INDUCTOR SELECTION The ML4871 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 ...

... ML4871 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.
