L The ISL97656 is a high frequency, high efficiency boost regulator operated at constant frequency PWM mode. The boost converter stores energy from an input voltage source and delivers higher output voltage. The input voltage range is 2.2V to 6.0V and the output voltage range is 5V to 25V. The switching frequency can be selected between 640kHz and 1.22MHz. The higher switching frequency allows use of smaller inductors and faster transient response. An external compensation pin gives the user greater flexibility in setting output transient response and tighter load regulation. The converter soft-start characteristic can be controlled by the external CSS capacitor. The EN pin allows the user to shut down the device. D VOUT VIN CIN COUT ISL97656 FIGURE 13. BOOST CONVERTER L VOUT VIN COUT CIN Boost Converter Operations ISL97656 Figure 13 shows a boost converter with all the key components. In steady state and continuous conduction mode, the boost converter operates in two cycles. During the first cycle, as shown in Figure 14, the internal power FET turns on and the Schottky diode is reverse biased and cuts off the current flow to the output. The output current is supplied from the output capacitor. The voltage across the inductor is VIN and the inductor current ramps up with a rate of VIN/L, where L is the inductance. The inductor is magnetized and energy is stored in the inductor. The change in inductor current is shown in Equation 1: V IN ΔI L1 = ΔT1 × --------L D ΔT1 = ---------f SW IL ΔIL1 ΔT1 ΔVO FIGURE 14. BOOST CONVERTER - CYCLE 1, POWER SWITCH CLOSED L D VOUT VIN COUT CIN ISL97656 D = Duty Cycle I OUT ΔV O = ---------------- × ΔT 1 C OUT (EQ. 1) During the second cycle, the power FET turns off and the Schottky diode is forward biased, (see Figure 15). The energy stored in the inductor is supplied to the output. This energy is used to charge the output capacitor and supply output current. In this cycle switching node (LX) is held to VOUT + Schottky diode drop. Voltage drop across the inductor is VIN - VOUT (ignoring diode drop across Schottky diode). The change in inductor current during the second cycle is shown in Equation 2: V IN – V OUT ΔI L = ΔT2 × -------------------------------L 1–D ΔT2 = ------------f SW (EQ. 2) In steady state operation, the change in the inductor current must be equal as shown in Equation 3.

BOOST CONVERTER - CYCLE 2, POWER SWITCH OPEN Output Voltage An external feedback resistor divider is required to divide the output voltage down to the nominal 1.24V reference voltage. The current drawn by the resistor network should be limited to maintain the overall converter efficiency. The maximum value of the resistor network is limited by the feedback input bias current and the potential for noise being coupled into the feedback pin. A resistor network less than 100k is recommended. The boost converter output voltage is determined by the relationship as shown in Equation 4. The nominal VFB voltage is 1.24V.

Its selection depends on the input voltage, output voltage, switching frequency and maximum output current. For most applications, the inductance should be in the range of 2µH to 33µH. The inductor maximum DC current specification must be greater than the peak inductor current required by the regulator. The peak inductor current can be calculated using Equation 5: I OUT × V OUT V IN × ( V OUT – V IN ) I L ( PEAK ) = ------------------------------------ + 1 ⁄ 2 × ----------------------------------------------------V IN L × V OUT × FREQ (EQ. 5) Output Capacitor Low ESR capacitors should be used to minimize the output voltage ripple. Multilayer ceramic capacitors (X5R and X7R) are preferred for the output capacitors because of their lower ESR and small packages. Tantalum capacitors with higher ESR can also be used. The output ripple can be calculated using Equation 6: I OUT × D ΔV O = ------------------------- + I OUT × ESR f SW × C O (EQ. 6) For noise sensitive applications, a 0.1µF placed in parallel with the larger output capacitor is recommended to reduce the switching noise coupled from the LX switching node. Schottky Diode In selecting the Schottky diode, the reverse break-down voltage, forward current and forward voltage drop must be considered for optimum converter performance. The diode must be rated to handle 4.0A, the current limit of the ISL97656. The breakdown voltage must exceed the maximum output voltage. Low forward voltage drop, low leakage current, and fast reverse recovery will help the converter to achieve the maximum efficiency. loop stability. For most applications, the compensation resistor in the range of 0k to 2.0k and the compensation capacitor in the range of 3nF to 10nF. Soft-Start The regulator goes through the soft-start sequence after EN is pulled high. The soft-start is provided by an internal 4.5µA current source. This internal current source is used to charge the external CSS capacitor. The peak MOSFET current is limited by the voltage on the capacitor. As the voltage at the CSS capacitor increases, this results in ramping up of the current limit from 0A to full scale. This in turn controls the rising rate of the output voltage. Frequency Selection The ISL97656 switching frequency can be user selectable. The ISL97656 operates at either constant 640KHz or 1.22MHz switching frequency. Connecting the FREQ pin to ground sets the PWM switching frequency to 640kHz. When connecting FREQ high or VIN, the switching frequency is set to 1.22MHz. Shutdown Control When the EN pin is pulled low, the ISL97656 is in shutdown mode, reducing the supply current to <1µA. Maximum Output Current The MOSFET current limit is nominally 4.0A and guaranteed 3.8A. This restricts the maximum output current, IOMAX, based on Equation 7: I L = I L ( AVG ) + ( 1 ⁄ 2 × ΔI L ) where: IL = MOSFET current limit IL(AVG) = average inductor current Input Capacitor ΔIL = inductor ripple current The value of the input capacitor depends on the input and the output voltages, maximum output current, inductor value and maximum permissible noise fed back in the input line. For most applications, a minimum 10µF is required. For applications that run close to the maximum output current limit, an input capacitor in the range of 22µF to 47µF is recommended. V IN × [ ( V O + V DIODE ) – V IN ] ΔI L = -----------------------------------------------------------------------------L × ( V O + V DIODE ) × f SW The ISL97656 is powered from the VIN. A High frequency 0.1µF bypass capacitor is recommended to be close to the VIN pin to reduce supply line noise and ensure stable operation. Loop Compensation The ISL97656 incorporates a transconductance amplifier in its feedback path to allow the user some adjustment on the transient response and better regulation. The ISL97656 uses current mode control architecture, which has a fast current sense loop and a slow voltage feedback loop. The fast current feedback loop does not require any compensation. The slow voltage loop must be compensated for stable operation. The compensation network is a series RC network from the COMP pin to ground. The resistor sets the high frequency integrator gain for fast transient response and the capacitor sets the integrator zero to ensure 7 (EQ. 7) (EQ. 8) VDIODE = Schottky diode forward voltage, typically, 0.6V fSW = switching frequency, 640kHz or 1.22MHz I OUT I L-AVG = ------------1–D (EQ. 9) D = MOSFET turn-on ratio: V IN D = 1 – -------------------------------------------V OUT + V DIODE (EQ. 10) FN6439.6 July 19, 2012 ISL97656 Cascaded MOSFET Application DC PATH BLOCK APPLICATION A 24V N-Channel MOSFET is integrated in the boost regulator. For the applications where the output voltage is greater than 24V, an external cascaded MOSFET is needed as shown in Figure 16. The voltage rating of the external MOSFET should be greater than VIN. There is a DC path in the boost converter from the input to the output through the inductor and diode. In the non-synchronous topology, although the system is still in shutdown mode, the output voltage will be the input voltage minus the forward voltage diode drop of the Schottky diode. If this voltage is not desired, the following circuit (see Figure 17) can be used between input and inductor to disconnect the DC path when the ISL97656 is in shutdown mode.
