The AT6145 is a constant frequency, 6-pin
SOT23-6L current mode step-up converter intended
for small, low power applications.
The AT6145 switches at 1.2MHz 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 AT6145 features automatic shifting to pulse

to affect device reliability.

The AT6145 uses a fixed frequency, peak current
mode boost regulator architecture to regulate
voltage at the feedback pin. The operation of the
AT6145 can be understood by referring to the
block diagram. At the start of each oscillator cycle
the MOSFET is turned on through the control
circuitry. To prevent sub-harmonic oscillations at
duty cycles greater than 50 percent, a stabilizing
ramp is added to the output of the current sense
amplifier and the result is fed into the negative
input of the PWM comparator. When this voltage
equals. The output voltage of the error amplifier
the power MOSFET is turned off. The voltage at
the output of the error amplifier is an amplified
version of the difference between the 0.6V
bandgap reference voltage and the feedback
voltage. In this way the peak current level keeps
The recommended values of inductor are 4.7 to
22µH. Small size and better efficiency are the
major concerns for portable device, such as
AT6145 used for mobile phone. The inductor
should have low core loss at 1.2MHz and low DCR
for better efficiency. To avoid inductor saturation
current rating should be considered.
Capacitor Selection
Input and output ceramic capacitors of 22µF are
recommended for AT6145 applications. For better
voltage filtering, ceramic capacitors with low ESR
are recommended. X5R and X7R types are
suitable because of their wider voltage and
temperature ranges.
Diode Selection
the output in regulation. If the feedback voltage
starts to drop, the output of the error amplifier
increases. These results in more current to flow
through the power MOSFET, thus increasing the
power delivered to the output.
The AT6145 has internal soft start to limit the
amount of input current at startup and to also limit
the amount of overshoot on the output.
Setting the Output Voltage
The internal reference VREF is 0.6V (Typical).The
output voltage is divided by a resistor divider,R1
and R2 to the FB pin. The output voltage is given

Schottky diode is a good choice for AT6145
because of its low forward voltage drop and fast
reverses recovery. Using Schottky diode can get
better efficiency. The high speed rectification is
also a good characteristic of Schottky diode for
high switching frequency. Current rating of the
diode must meet the root mean square of the peak
current and output average current multiplication
as following:
The diode’ s reverse breakdown voltage should be
larger than the output voltage
