600kHz/1.2MHz PWM Step-Up Regulator
Features
The ISL97519A is a high frequency, high efficiency step-up
voltage regulator operated at constant frequency PWM mode.
With an internal 2.0A, 200m MOSFET, it can deliver up to 1A
output current at over 90% efficiency. Two selectable
frequencies, 600kHz and 1.2MHz, allow trade offs between
smaller components and faster transient response. An
external compensation pin gives the user greater flexibility in
setting frequency compensation allowing the use of low ESR
Ceramic output capacitors.

Applications Information
The ISL97519A is a high frequency, high efficiency boost
regulator operated at constant frequency PWM mode. The
boost converter stores energy from an input voltage source
and delivers it to a higher output voltage. The input voltage
range is 2.3V to 5.5V and output voltage range is 5V to 25V.
The switching frequency is selectable between 600kHz and
1.2MHz allowing smaller inductors and faster transient
response. An external compensation pin gives the user greater
flexibility in setting output transient response and tighter load
regulation. The converter soft-start characteristic can also be
controlled by external CSS capacitor. The EN pin allows the
user to completely shutdown the device.

boost converter operates in two cycles. During the first cycle,
as shown in Figure 12, the internal power FET turns on and the
Schottky diode is reverse biased and cuts off the current flow
to the output. The output current is supplied from the output
capacitor. The voltage across the inductor is VIN and the
inductor current ramps up in a rate of VIN/L, L is the
inductance. The inductance is magnetized and energy is stored
in the inductor. The change in inductor current is shown in
Equation 1:

During the second cycle, the power FET turns off and the
Schottky diode is forward biased, (see Figure 13). The energy
stored in the inductor is pumped to the output supplying
output current and charging the output capacitor. The Schottky
diode side of the inductor is clamped to a Schottky diode
above the output voltage. So the voltage drop across the
inductor is VIN - VOUT. The change in inductor current during the
second cycle is shown in Equation 2:

Output Voltage
An external feedback resistor divider is required to divide the
output voltage down to the nominal 1.24V reference voltage.
The current drawn by the resistor network should be limited to
maintain the overall converter efficiency. The maximum value
of the resistor network is limited by the feedback input bias
current and the potential for noise being coupled into the
feedback pin. A resistor network less than 100k is
recommended. The boost converter output voltage is
determined by the relationship in Equation 4:

The inductor selection determines the output ripple voltage,
transient response, output current capability, and efficiency. Its
selection depends on the input voltage, output voltage,
switching frequency, and maximum output current. For most
applications, the inductance should be in the range of 2µH to
33µH. The inductor maximum DC current specification must
be greater than the peak inductor current required by the
regulator.The peak inductor current can be calculated in
Equation 5:

Low ESR capacitors should be used to minimized the output
voltage ripple. Multi-layer ceramic capacitors (X5R and X7R)
are preferred for the output capacitors because of their lower
ESR and small packages. Tantalum capacitors with higher ESR
can also be used. The output ripple can be calculated as shown
in Equation 6:
I OUT D
V O = ------------------------ + I OUT ESR

(EQ. 6)
For noise sensitive application, a 0.1µF placed in parallel with
the larger output capacitor is recommended to reduce the
switching noise coupled from the LX switching node.

Schottky Diode
In selecting the Schottky diode, the reverse break down
voltage, forward current and forward voltage drop must be
considered for optimum converter performance. The diode
must be rated to handle 2.0A, the current limit of the
ISL97519A. The breakdown voltage must exceed the
maximum output voltage. Low forward voltage drop, low
leakage current, and fast reverse recovery will help the
converter to achieve the maximum efficiency.
Input Capacitor
enough that it doesn't reach 0.6V before the output voltage
reaches the final value.
When the ISL97519A is disabled, the soft-start capacitor will
be discharged to ground.
Frequency Selection
The ISL97519A switching frequency can be user selected to
operate at either constant 620kHz or 1.25MHz. Connecting
FSEL pin to ground sets the PWM switching frequency to
620kHz. When connecting FSEL high or VDD, the switching
frequency is set to 1.25MHz.
The value of the input capacitor depends the input and output
voltages, the maximum output current, the inductor value and
the noise allowed to put back on the input line. For most
applications, a minimum 10µF is required. For applications
that run close to the maximum output current limit, input
capacitor in the range of 22µF to 47µF is recommended.
Maximum Output Current
The ISL97519A is powered from the VIN. A high frequency
0.1µF bypass capacitor is recommended to be close to the VIN
pin to reduce supply line noise and ensure stable operation.
The MOSFET current limit is nominally 2.0A and guaranteed
1.5A when VDD is greater than 2.8V. This restricts the
maximum output current, IOMAX, based on Equation 8:
Shutdown Control
When the EN pin is pulled down, the ISL97519A is shutdown
reducing the supply current to
