LM2623
General Purpose, Gated Oscillator Based, DC/DC Boost
Converter
General Description
The LM2623 is a high efficiency, general purpose, step-up DC-DC switching regulator for battery-powered and low input voltage systems. It accepts an input voltage between .8 and 14 volts and converts it into a regulated output voltage between 1.24 and 14 volts. Efficiencies up to 90% are achievable with the LM2623.
In order to adapt to a number of applications, the LM2623 allows the designer to vary the output voltage, the operating frequency (300kHz to 2 MHz) and duty cycle (17% to 90%) to optimize the part’s performance. The selected values can be fixed or can vary with battery voltage or input to output voltage ratio. The LM2623 uses a very simple, on/off regulation mode to produce good efficiency and stable operation over a wide operating range. It normally regulates by skipping switching cycles when it reaches the regulation limit (Pulse Frequency Modulation).
Note: Please read the "Non-Linear Effect" and "Choosing The Correct C3 Capacitor" sub-sections of the Design Procedure section of this data sheet, so that any challenges with designing with this part can be taken into account before a board design/layout is finalized.

Note 1: Absolute maximum ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Electrical specifications do not apply when operating the device outside of its rated operating conditions.
Note 2: The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by Tjmax (maximum junction temperature), θJA (junction to ambient thermal resistance), and TA (ambient temperature). The maximum allowable power dissipation at any temperature is Pdmax = (Tjmax - TA)/ θJA or the number given in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, whichever is lower.
Note 3: The human body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor into each pin. For Pin 8 (SW) the ESD rating is 1.0 kV.
Note 4: VDD tied to Boot and EN pins. Frequency pin tied to VDD through 121K resistor. VDD_ST = VDD when startu-up occurs. VIN is VDD + D1 voltage (usually 10-50 mv at start-up)
Note 5: This is the current into the VDD pin.
Note 6: This is the total current into pins VDD, BOOT, SW and FREQ.
Note 7: When the EN pin is below VEN_LO, the regulator is shut down; when it is above VEN_HI, the regulator is operating.
