input inrush current.
The N-MOSFET will be turned off when the inductor current
hits the level set by the PWM control loop. After the
N-MOSFET is turned off, the inductor current will ramp
down through the external catch diode until the OSC sets
high for the next switching cycle and the next cycle
repeats.
The operation of the RT8580 can be better understood by
referring to the block diagram. The voltage at the output of
VREF ramps up to the target voltage in a specific time
The protection features of the RT8580 include : 1) input
under-voltage lockout, 2) output over-voltage protection,
and 3) over-temperature protection. When the input voltage
is lower than the UVLO threshold, the RT8580 will be
turned off. There is a 100mV hysteresis for the UVLO

This converter provides low noise, high output voltages.
value. The inductor saturation current rating should be
considered to cover the inductor peak current.
Other features include shutdown, fixed 500kHz PWM
oscillator, and a input range : 3V to 5.5V for the RT8580.
The RT8580 operates in discontinuous mode in order to
reduce the switching noise at the output. Other continuous
mode Boost converters generate a large voltage spike at
the output when the LX switch turns on because there is
a conduction path between the output, diode, and switch
to ground during the time needed for the diode to turn off.
The SHDN pin provides shutdown control. Connect SHDN
to VCC for normal operation. To disable the device, connect
SHDN to GND.
Constant Output Voltage Control
The output voltage of the RT8580 is fixed at 30V. The
output voltage is set by two external resistors (R1 and
R2). First select the value of R2 in the 5k to 50k range.
R1 is then given by :

current to an acceptable value at the beginning of power
on. The RT8580 provides a built-in soft-start function by
clamping the output voltage of error amplifier so that the
duty cycle of the PWM will be increased gradually in the
soft-start period.
The current flow through inductor as charging period is
detected by a current sensing circuit. As the value comes
across the current limiting threshold, the N-MOSFET will
be turned off so that the inductor will be forced to leave
charging stage and enter discharging stage. Therefore,
the inductor current will not increase over the current
limiting threshold.
Diode Selection
The RT8580's high switching frequency demands a highspeed rectifier. Schottky diodes are recommended for

most applications because of their fast recovery time and

Determining Peak Inductor Current
If the Boost converter remains in the discontinuous mode
of operation, then the approximate peak inductor current,
ILPEAK, is represented by the formula below :

where TS is the period, VOUT is the output voltage, VIN is

efficiency of the boost converter.
Inductor Selection
The recommended value of inductor for 30V, 22H is the
low forward-voltage drop. Ensure that the diode's peak
current rating is greater than or equal to the peak inductor
current. Also, the diode reverse breakdown voltage must
be greater than VOUT.
Input Capacitor Selection
Low ESR ceramic capacitors are recommended for input
capacitor applications. Low ESR will effectively reduce
the input voltage ripple caused by switching operation. A
4.7F capacitor is sufficient for most applications.
Nevertheless, this value can be decreased for lower output
current requirement. Another consideration is the voltage
rating of the input capacitor which must be greater than
the maximum input voltage.

30V and the input voltage is 5V. In general, the inductor
