Applications Note: SY7152A
High Efficiency 1MHz, 2A Step Up Regulator
Preliminary Specification
General Description
Features
The SY7152A is a high efficiency, current-mode
control Boost regulator. The device integrates a 130mΩ
low RDS(ON) N-channel MOSFET for high efficiency.
The fixed 1MHz switching frequency and internal
compensation reduce external components size and
count. The build-in internal soft start circuitry
minimizes the inrush current at start-up.
The SY7152A is available in compact SOT23-6 package.

The SY7152A regulator IC is quite tolerant of different
ripple current amplitude. Consequently, the final choice
of inductance can be slightly off the calculation value
without significantly impacting the performance.
2) The saturation current rating of the inductor must
be selected to be greater than the peak inductor
current under full load conditions.

Feedback resistor dividers R1 and R2:
Choose R1 and R2 to program the proper output voltage.
To minimize the power consumption under light loads,
it is desirable to choose large resistance values for both
R1 and R2. A value of between 10k and 1M is
recommended for both resistors. If R1=200k is chosen,
then R2 can be calculated to be:

Because of the high integration in the SY7152A IC, the
application circuit based on this regulator IC is rather
simple. Only input capacitor CIN, output capacitor COUT,
inductor L, diode D and feedback resistors (R1 and R2)
need to be selected for the targeted applications
specifications.
1) Choose the inductance to provide the desired
ripple current. It is suggested to choose the ripple
current to be about 40% of the maximum average
input current. The inductance is calculated as:

To minimize the potential noise problem, place a
typical X5R or better grade ceramic capacitor really
close to the IN and GND pins. Care should be taken to
minimize the loop area formed by CIN, and IN/GND
pins.In this case a 10uF low ESR ceramic is
recommended.
Sil

Output capacitor COUT:
The output capacitor is selected to handle the output
ripple noise requirements. Both steady state ripple and
transient requirements must be taken into consideration
when selecting this capacitor. For the best performance,
it is recommended to use X5R or better grade ceramic
capacitor with 10uF/25V.
Boost inductor L:
There are several considerations in choosing this
inductor.
3) The DCR of the inductor and the core loss at the
switching frequency must be low enough to
achieve the desired efficiency requirement. It is
desirable to choose an inductor with
DCR
