BL8537
0.9V startup, 1MHz, 300mA Iout, Low Iq, Synchronous Boost converter
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The BL8537 is a step-up converter that provides a
boosted output voltage from a low voltage
source. Because of its proprietary design, it starts
up at a very low input voltage down to 0.9V, and
only consumes 15uA at standby, making it an
ideal choice for single cell alkaline/NiMH battery
operations.



A switching frequency of 1MHz minimizes
solution footprint by allowing the use of tiny, low
profile inductors and ceramic capacitors. The
current mode PWM design is internally
compensated, reducing external parts count.
BL8537 is available in SOT23-5 Package.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
APPLICATION INFORMATION
BL8537 is a low input voltage start up, current
mode DC-DC step up converter. It’s operation can
be best understood by referring to the block
diagram. Upon starting up, the low voltage startup
circuitry drives SW with on-off cycles, transferring
energy from input to OUT by storing energy in the
inductor during on-time and releasing it to the
output during off-time. When OUT reaches 2V, the
startup circuit turns off and the main controller
takes over. The main control loop consists of a
reference, a GM error amplifier, a PWM controller,
a current sense amplifier, an oscillator, a PWM logic
control, and it is power stage including its driver.
The main control loop is a classic current mode
control loop. The GM stage integrates the error
between FB and REF, and its output is used to
compare with a triangular wave which the summing
result of the current sense amplifier output and a
slope compensation voltage. The output of the
comparator is used to drive the power stage to
reach regulation.
Inductor selection
With switching frequency up to 1MHz, small surface
mount inductors can be used with values from
2.2uH to 4.7uH. For a given chosen inductor value
and application conditions make sure the peak
inductor current does not exceed the maximum
current rating of the selected vendor's inductor.
Input and output capacitor selection
The BL8537's bootstrap architecture allows the use
of very small input capacitor. For applications that
only need to drive small output load current, the
input capacitor is optional, because once output is
started up, the IC's is powered by OUT, a quiet
power supply.
The output capacitor is used to stabilize the loop
and provide ac current to the load. A low ESR
ceramic cap with values from 2.2uF to 22uF can be
used. Smaller value capacitors are generally
cheaper with small footprints, while larger
capacitor provides lower ripples and better
transient load responses. Also, when extreme low
startup voltage is needed, larger output capacitors
are needed for the part to startup under heavy load
condition.
