Package Option
In order to adapt to a number of applications, the
LM2623 allows the designer to vary the output
voltage, the operating frequency (300 kHz 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 sections so that
any challenges with designing with this part can be
taken into account before a board design/layout is
finalized.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LM2623 is designed to provide step-up DC-DC voltage regulation in battery-powered and low-input voltage
systems. It combines a step-up switching regulator, N-channel power MOSFET, built-in current limit, thermal
limit, and voltage reference in a single 8-pin VSSOP package Functional Block Diagram. The switching DC-DC
regulator boosts an input voltage between 0.8 V and 14 V to a regulated output voltage between 1.24 V and 14
V. The LM2623 starts from a low 1.1 V input and remains operational down to below 0.8 V.
This device is optimized for use in cellular phones and other applications requiring a small size, low profile, as
well as low quiescent current for maximum battery life during stand-by and shutdown. A high-efficiency gatedoscillator topology offers an output of up to 2 A at low output voltages.
Additional features include a built-in peak switch current limit, and thermal protection circuitry.
7.2 Functional Block Diagram
7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Gated Oscillator Control Scheme.
The on/off regulation mode of the LM2623, along with its ultra-low quiescent current, results in good efficiency
over a very wide load range. The internal oscillator frequency can be programmed using an external resistor to
be constant or vary with the battery voltage. Adding a capacitor to program the frequency allows the designer to
adjust the duty cycle and optimize it for the application. Adding a resistor in addition to the capacitor allows the
duty cycle to dynamically compensate for changes to the input/output voltage ratio. We call this a Ratio Adaptive
Gated Oscillator circuit. See the Typical Application for sample application circuits. Using the correct RC
components to adjust the oscillator allows the part to run with low ripple and high efficiency over a wide range of
loads and input/output voltages.

Feature Description (continued)
Figure 8. Typical Step-Up Regulator Waveforms
7.3.2 Cycle-to-Cycle PFM
When the load doesn't vary over a wide range (like zero to full load), ratio adaptive circuit techniques can be
used to achieve cycle to cycle PFM regulation and lower ripple (or smaller output capacitors). The key to success
here is matching the duty cycle of the circuit closely to what is required by the input to output voltage ratio. This
ratio then needs to be dynamically adjusted for input voltage changes (usually caused by batteries running
down). The chosen ratio should allow most of the energy in each switching cycle to be delivered to the load and
only a small amount to be stored. When the regulation limit is reached, the overshoot will be small and the
system will settle at an equilibrium point where it adjusts the off time in each switching cycle to meet the current
requirements of the load. The off time adjustment is done by exceeding the regulation limit during each switching
cycle and waiting until the voltage drops below the limit again to start the next switching cycle. The current in the
coil never goes to zero like it frequently does in the hysteretic operating mode of circuits with wide load variations
or duty cycles that aren't matched to the input/output voltage ratio. Optimizing the duty cycle for a given set of
input/output voltages conditions can be done by using the circuit values in the Application Notes.
7.3.3 Shutdown
The LM2623 features a shutdown mode that reduces the quiescent current to less than an ensured 2.5 µA over
temperature. This extends the life of the battery in battery powered applications. During shutdown, all feedback
and control circuitry is turned off. The regulator's output voltage drops to one diode drop below the input voltage.
Entry into the shutdown mode is controlled by the active-low logic input pin EN (pin-2). When the logic input to
this pin is pulled below 0.15 VDD, the device goes into shutdown mode. The logic input to this pin should be
above 0.7 VDD for the device to work in normal stepup mode.
7.3.4 Internal Current Limit and Thermal Protection
An internal cycle-by-cycle current limit serves as a protection feature. This is set high enough (2.85 A typical,
approximately 4 A maximum) so as not to come into effect during normal operating conditions. An internal
thermal protection circuit disables the MOSFET power switch when the junction temperature (TJ) exceeds about
160°C. The switch is re-enabled when TJ drops below approximately 135°C.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM)
Pulse Frequency Modulation is typically accomplished by switching continuously until the voltage limit is reached
and skipping cycles after that to just maintain it. This results in a somewhat hysteretic mode of operation. The
coil stores more energy each cycle as the current ramps up to high levels. When the voltage limit is reached, the
system usually overshoots to a higher voltage than required, due to the stored energy in the coil (see Figure 8).
The system will also undershoot somewhat when it starts switching again because it has depleted all the stored
energy in the coil and needs to store more energy to reach equilibrium with the load. Larger output capacitors

Device Functional Modes (continued)
and smaller inductors reduce the ripple in these situations. The frequency being filtered, however, is not the basic
switching frequency. It is a lower frequency determined by the load, the input/output voltage and the circuit
parameters. This mode of operation is useful in situations where the load variation is significant. Power managed
computer systems, for instance, may vary from zero to full load while the system is on and this is usually the
preferred regulation mode for such systems.
7.4.2 Low Voltage Start-Up
The LM2623 can start up from voltages as low as 1.1 V. On start-up, the control circuitry switches the N-channel
MOSFET continuously until the output reaches 3 V. After this output voltage is reached, the normal step-up
regulator feedback and gated oscillator control scheme take over. Once the device is in regulation, it can operate
down to below 0.8 V input, since the internal power for the IC can be boot-strapped from the output using the
VDD pin.

8 Applications and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The LM2623 features a shutdown mode, entry into the shutdown mode is controlled by the active-low logic input
pin EN (pin 2). When the logic input to this pin is pulled below 0.15 VDD, the device goes into shutdown mode.
The logic input to this pin should be above 0.7 VDD for the device to work in normal start-up mode.

Figure 9. LM2623 Typical Application
8.2.1 Design Requirements
The LM2623 allows the designer to vary output voltage, operating frequency and duty cycle to optimize the part
performance, please read Detailed Design Procedure for details.
8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 Non-Linear Effect
The LM2623 is very similar to the LM2621. The LM2623 is based on the LM2621, except for the fact that the
LM2623 takes advantage of a non-linear effect that allows for the duty cycle to be programmable. The C3
capacitor is used to dump charge on the FREQ pin in order to manipulate the duty cycle of the internal oscillator.
The part is being tricked to behave in a certain manner, in the effort to make this Pulse Frequency Modulated
(PFM) boost switching regulator behave as a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) boost switching regulator.
8.2.2.2 Choosing the Correct C3 Capacitor
The C3 capacitor allows for the duty cycle of the internal oscillator to be programmable. Choosing the correct C3
capacitor to get the appropriate duty cycle for a particular application circuit is a trial and error process. The nonlinear effect that C3 produces is dependent on the input voltage and output voltage values. The correct C3
capacitor for particular input and output voltage values cannot be calculated. Choosing the correct C3
capacitance is best done by trial and error, in conjunction with the checking of the inductor peak current to make
sure your not too close to the current limit of the device. As the C3 capacitor value increases, so does the duty
cycle. And conversely as the C3 capacitor value decreases, the duty cycle decreases. An incorrect choice of the
C3 capacitor can result in the part prematurely tripping the current limit and/or double pulsing, which could lead
to the output voltage not being stable.

Typical Application (continued)
8.2.2.3 Setting the Output Voltage
The output voltage of the step-up regulator can be set by connecting a feedback resistive divider made of RF1
and RF2. The resistor values are selected as follows:
RF1 = RF2 * [(VOUT/ 1.24) −1]
(1)
A value of 50k to 100k is suggested for RF2. Then, RF1 can be selected using Equation 1.
8.2.2.4 VDD Supply
The VDD supply must be between 3 V to 5 V for the LM2623. This voltage can be bootstrapped from a much
lower input voltage by simply connecting the VDD pin to VOUT. In the event that the VDD supply voltage is not a
low ripple voltage source (less than 200 millivolts), it may be advisable to use an RC filter to clean it up.
Excessive ripple on VDD may reduce the efficiency.
8.2.2.5 Setting the Switching Frequency
The switching frequency of the oscillator is selected by choosing an external resistor (R3) connected between VIN
and the FREQ pin. See Figure 3 in the Typical Characteristics section of the data sheet for choosing the R3
value to achieve the desired switching frequency. A high switching frequency allows the use of very small surface
mount inductors and capacitors and results in a very small solution size. A switching frequency between 300 kHz
and 2 MHz is recommended.
8.2.2.6 Output Diode Selection
A Schottky diode should be used for the output diode. The forward current rating of the diode should be higher
than the peak input current, and the reverse voltage rating must be higher than the output voltage. Do not use
ordinary rectifier diodes, since slow switching speeds and long recovery times cause the efficiency and the load
regulation to suffer.

The LM2623 can start up from voltages as low as 1.1 V. On start-up, the control circuitry switches the N-channel
MOSFET continuously until the output reaches 3 V. After this output voltage is reached, the normal step-up
regulator feedback and gated oscillator control scheme take over. Once the device is in regulation, it can operate
down to below 0.8 V input, since the internal power for the IC can be boot-strapped from the output using the
VDD pin.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
The example layouts below follow proper layout guidelines and should be used as a guide for laying out the
LM2623 circuit. The LM2623 inductive boost converter sees a high switched voltage at the SW pin, and a step
current through the Schottky diode and output capacitor each switching cycle. The high switching voltage can
create interference into nearby nodes due to electric field coupling (I = C x dV/dt). The large step current through
the diode and the output capacitor can cause a large voltage spike at the SW and BOOST pins due to parasitic
inductance in the step current conducting path (V = L x di/dt). Board layout guidelines are geared towards
minimizing this electric field coupling and conducted noise.
Boost Output Capacitor Placement, Schottky Diode Placement, and Boost Input / VDD Capacitor Placement detail
the main (layout sensitive) areas of the LM2623 inductive boost converter in order of decreasing importance:
10.1.1 Boost Output Capacitor Placement
Because the output capacitor is in the path of the inductor current discharge path, it will see a high-current step
from 0 to IPEAK each time the switch turns off and the Schottky diode turns on. Any inductance along this series
path from the diodes cathode, through COUT, and back into the LM2623 GND pin will contribute to voltage
spikes at SW. These spikes can potentially over-voltage the SW and BOOST pins, or feed through to GND. To
avoid this, COUT+ must be connected as close as possible to the cathode of the Schottky diode, and COUT−
must be connected as close as possible to the LM2623 GND bumps. The best placement for COUT is on the
same layer as the LM2623 to avoid any vias that can add excessive series inductance.
10.1.2 Schottky Diode Placement
In the LM2623 device boost circuit the Schottky diode is in the path of the inductor current discharge. As a result
the Schottky diode sees a high-current step from 0 to IPEAK each time the switch turns off, and the diode turns
on. Any inductance in series with the diode will cause a voltage spike at SW. This can potentially over-voltage
the SW pin, or feed through to VOUT and through the output capacitor, into GND. Connecting the anode of the
diode as close as possible to the SW pin, and connecting the cathode of the diode as close as possible to
COUT+, will reduce the inductance (LP_) and minimize these voltage spikes.
10.1.3 Boost Input / VDD Capacitor Placement
The LM2623 input capacitor filters the inductor current ripple and the internal MOSFET driver currents. The
inductor current ripple can add input voltage ripple due to any series resistance in the input power path. The
MOSFET driver currents can add voltage spikes on the input due to the inductance in series with the VIN/VDD
and the input capacitor. Close placement of the input capacitor to the VDD pin and to the GND pin is critical since
any series inductance between VIN/VDD and CIN+ or CIN– and GND can create voltage spikes that could appear
on the VIN/VDD supply line and GND.
