LM2698 SIMPLE SWITCHER
March 2005
General Description
The LM2698 is a general purpose PWM boost converter.
The 1.9A, 18V, 0.2ohm internal switch enables the LM2698
to provide efficient power conversion to outputs ranging from
2.2V to 17V. It can operate with input voltages as low as 2.2V
and as high as 12V. Current-mode architecture provides
superior line and load regulation and simple frequency compensation over the device’s 2.2V to 12V input voltage range.
The LM2698 sets the standard in power density and is
capable of supplying 12V at 400mA from a 5V input. The
LM2698 can also be used in flyback or SEPIC topologies.

The LM2698 SIMPLE SWITCHER
switching frequency of either 600kHz or 1.25MHz. This promotes flexibility in component selection and filtering techniques. A shutdown pin is available to suspend the device
and decrease the quiescent current to 5µA. An external
compensation pin gives the user flexibility in setting frequency compensation, which makes possible the use of
small, low ESR ceramic capacitors at the output. Switchers
Made Simple
and guaranteed design. The LM2698 is available in a low
profile 8-lead MSOP package.

Symbol Parameter Conditions

JA
Note 1: Absolute maximum ratings are limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings are conditions for which the device is intended to
be functional, but device parameter specifications may not be guaranteed. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics.
Note 2: Shutdown and voltage frequency select should not exceed V
Note 3: The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, T
and the ambient temperature, T
at any ambient temperature is calculated using: P
temperature, and the regulator will go into thermal shutdown.
Note 4: The human body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5kΩ resistor into each pin. The machine model is a 200pF capacitor discharged
directly into each pin.
Note 5: ESD susceptibility using the human body model is 500V for V
Note 6: All limits guaranteed at room temperature (standard typeface) and at temperature extremes (bold typeface). All room temperature limits are 100% tested
or guaranteed through statistical analysis.All limits at temperature extremes are guaranteed via correlation using standard Statistical Quality Control (SQC) methods.
All limits are used to calculate Average Outgoing Quality Level (AOQL).
Note 7: Typical numbers are at 25˚C and represent the most likely norm.
Note 8: This is the switch current limit at 0% duty cycle. The switch current limit will change as a function of duty cycle. See Typical performance Characteristics
section for I
