n Detailed Description
n Application Information
The AME5172 is a fixed frequency synchronous boost
converter in SOT-25 package. The feature include current
mode PWM control with internal frequency compensation, low RDS(ON) MOSFET switch, synchronous rectification and 800mA peak switching current limit.
Inductor Selection
Synchronous Rectification
Built-in 0.35Ω NMOS switch and 0.45Ω PMOS synchronous rectification significantly improves efficiency and
eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode. High
switching frequency (at 1.2MHz) also allows easy filtering and faster loop performance.
Low Voltage Start-Up
The AME5172 will start-up at typical input voltage of
0.85V. At start-up, switching frequency is determined by
the start-up oscillator and start-up current limit. When
VOUT exceeds 2.3V, the start-up circuit will disabled and
the PWM mode is initiated.
An inductor value of 4.7µH performs well in most application. Larger values of inductance can reduce the inductor ripple current. Choosing inductors with low ESR decrease power loss and increase efficiency.
The approximate output current capability versus inductance value is given in the equation below:

V ×D 
I OUT (max) = η (1 − D ) I CL − IN

2 × L × f SW 

where:
η = efficiency
D=
VOUT − VIN
VOUT
ICL=switching peak current limit
VIN=input voltage
L=inductance value
FSW =switching frequency
Output Capacitor Selection
Thermal Shutdown Protection
The AME5172 has thermal shutdown protection at
160OC (Typ.). If the device temperature rises above 160OC,
the internal power MOSFET will turn off. Once the temperature falls below 140OC, the device resumes normal
operation. However, device functionality is only guaranteed to a maximum junction temperature of +125OC.
A single ceramic capacitor of value 4.7µF to 10µF will
provide sufficient output capacitance for most applications.
Larger capacitance with low ESR can be used to improve
ripple and transient response.
An output capacitor with excessive ESR can also reduce phase margin and cause instability. In general, if
electrolytic are used, it is recommended to parallel with
ceramic capacitors to reduce ringing, switching losses,
and output voltage ripple.
Input Capacitor Selection
An input capacitor is required to serve as an energy reservoir for the current which must flow into the coil each
time the switch turns ON. This capacitor must have extremely low ESR, so ceramic is the best choice. We recommend a nominal value of 4.7µF, but larger values can
be used. Since this capacitor reduces the amount of voltage ripple seen at the input pin, it also reduces the amount
of EMI passed back to other circuitry.
