LM2623LM2623
General Purpose, Gated Oscillator Based, DC/DC Boost
Converter
General Description
The LM2623 is a high efficiency, general purpose, step-up
DC-DC switching regulator for battery-powered and low input
voltage systems. It accepts an input voltage between .8
and 14 volts and converts it into a regulated output voltage
between 1.24 and 14 volts. Efficiencies up to 90% are
achievable with the LM2623.
In order to adapt to a number of applications, the LM2623
allows the designer to vary the output voltage, the operating
frequency (300kHz to 2 MHz) and duty cycle (17% to 90%)
to optimize the part’s performance. The selected values
CAN
be fixed or
CAN vary with battery voltage or input to output
voltage ratio. The LM2623 uses a very simple, on/off regulation
mode to produce good efficiency and stable operation
over a wide operating range. It normally regulates by skipping
switching cycles when it reaches the regulation limit
(Pulse Frequency Modulation).
Note: Please read the "Non-Linear Effect" and "Choosing
The Correct C3 Capacitor" sub-sections of the Design Procedure
section of this data sheet, so that any challenges with
designing with this part
CAN be taken into account before a
board design/layout is finalized.
