The LP6218 is high efficiency Boost DC/DC
Converter, fixed frequency, current-mode step-up
converter with output to input disconnect. A PWM
step-up DC/DC converters optimized to provide a
high efficiency solution to medium power system.
Its PWM circuitry with built-in 2.1A@200mΩ
power mosfet makes this converter highly power
efficiently. Selectable high switching frequency
allows faster loop response and easy filtering with a
low noise output. The non-inverting input its error
amplifier is connected to an internal 0.6V precision
reference voltage. Soft-start time can be
programmed with an external capacitor, which sets
the input current ramp rate. Current mode control
and external compensation network make it easy
and flexible to stabilize the system. the devices
regulates the output voltage up to 12V from either a
2cell NiMH/NiCd or a single-cell Li-ion Battery
with a 1MHz fixed frequency switching. These
features minimize overall solution footprint by
allowing the use of tiny, low profile inductors and
ceramic capacitors.

Operation Information
Output Voltage
The error amplifier compares a sample of the dc-dc
converter output voltage with the 0.6V (VREF)
reference and generates an error signal for the PWM
comparator. Output voltage of dc-dc converter is
setting with the resistor divider by the following
equation:
Vout=(R1/R2+1) X 0.6V
Oscillator
The switching frequency of LP6218 up to operate at
either 1MHz.
Soft Start
The soft start is functional after power on. The
interval of soft start time is determined by a
capacitor connected to SS pin. When EN pin is
taken high, the soft start capacitor (CSS) is charged
by a constant current of 4μA (typ). During this
interval, the SS voltage directly controls the peak
inductor current. The maximum load current is
available after the soft-start interval is completed.
Once the EN pin is taken low, the soft-start
capacitor is discharged to ground to prepare for next
start-up.
The load must wait for the soft-start interval to
finish before drawing a significant amount of load
current. The duration after which the load can begin
to draw maximum load current is:
EN
The LP6218 can be turn off to reduce the supply
current to 0.1μA when EN is low. In this mode, the
internal reference, error amplifier, comparators, and
biasing circuitry turn off while the N-channel
MOSFET is turned off. The boost converter’s
output is connected to VCC by the external inductor
and catch diode.
Output Current Capability
The output current capability of the LP6218 is a
function of current limit, input voltage, operation
frequency, and inductor value. Because of the slope
compensation used to stabilize the feedback loop,

the duty cycle affects the current limit. The output
current capability is governed by the following
equation:
Current Limitation
The internal power-MOS switch current is
monitored cycle-by-cycle and is limited to the value
not exceed 2A (Typ.). When the switch current
reaches the limited value, the internal power-MOS
is turned off immediately until the next cycle.
A resistor between OCP and GND pin programs
peak switch current. The resistor value should be
between 10k and 100k. The current limit will be set
from 2.5A to 0.5A. Keep traces at this pin as short
as possible. Do not put capacitance at this pin.
Layout considerations
Typical for all switching power supplies, the
layout is an important step in the design;
especially at high peak currents and
switching frequencies. If the layout is not
carefully done, the regulator might show
noise problem sand duty cycle jitter. The
input capacitor should be placed as close as
possible to the input pin for good input
voltage viltering. The inductor and diode
should be placed as close as possible to the
switch pin to minimize the noise coupling
into other circuits. Since the feedback pin
and network is a high impedance circuit the
feedback network should be routed away
from the inductor. The feedback pin and
feedback network should be shielded with a
ground plane or trace to minimize noise
coupling into this circuit.
