EV0077 (MP1541) 1.3MHz Low Power Boost Converter Monolithic Power Systems EVALUATION BOARD - INITIAL RELEASE GENERAL DESCRIPTION FEATURES The EV0077 Evaluation Board is designed to demonstrate the capabilities of MPS’ MP1541. The MP1541 is a 5-pin thin SOT23 current mode step up converter intended for small, low power applications. The MP1541 switches at 1.3MHz and allows the use of tiny, low cost capacitors and inductors 2mm or less in height. Internal soft start results in small inrush current and extends battery life. The MP1541 operates from an input voltage as low as 2.5V and can generate 12V at up to 200mA from a 5V supply. • • • • • • The MP1541 includes under-voltage lockout, current limiting, and thermal overload protection to prevent damage in the event of an output overload. The MP1541 is available in a small 5-pin TSOT23 package.

The board layout accommodates most commonly used inductors and output capacitors. 1. Preset Power Supply to 2.5V ≤ VIN ≤ 6V. 2. Turn Power Supply off. 3. Connect Power Supply terminals to: a. Positive (+): VIN b. Negative (–): GND 4. Connect Load to: a. Positive (+): VOUT b. Negative (–): GND 5. Turn Power Supply on after making connections. 6. The MP1541 is automatically enabled on the evaluation board once VIN is applied. To disable the MP1541, connect the EN pin to ground. 7. The output voltage VOUT can be changed by varying R3. Calculate the new value using the fomula: ⎞ ⎛V R3 = ⎜⎜ OUT − 1⎟⎟R 4 ⎠ ⎝ VFB where VFB = 1.25V and R4 = 11.8k Ω For example, for VOUT = 8V ⎛ 8V ⎞ R3 = ⎜ − 1⎟ × 11.8kΩ = 63.72kΩ 1 . 25 V ⎝ ⎠ Therefore use a 63.4k Ω standard 1% value.
