FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Overview
The MT3608L uses a fixed frequency, peak
current mode boost regulator architecture to
regulate voltage at the feedback pin. The operation
of the MT3608L can be understood by referring
to the block diagram of Figure 2. At the start of
each oscillator cycle the MOSFET is turned on
through the control circuitry. To prevent subharmonic oscillations at duty cycles greater than
50 percent, a stabilizing ramp is added to the
output of the current sense amplifier and the result
is fed into the negative input of the PWM
comparator. When this voltage equals The output
voltage of the error amplifier the power MOSFET
is turned off. The voltage at the output of the error
amplifier is an amplified version of the difference
between the 0.6V bandgap reference voltage and
the feedback voltage. In this way the peak current
level keeps the output in regulation. If the feedback
voltage starts to drop, the output of the error
amplifier increases. These results in more current
to flow through the power MOSFET, thus
increasing the power delivered to the output. The
MT3608L has internal soft start to limit the
amount of input current at startup and to also limit
the amount of overshoot on the output.
Current Limit Program
A resistor between OC and GND pin programs
peak switch current. The resistor value should be
between 19k and 96k. The current limit will be set
from 2.5A to 0.5A. Keep traces at this pin as
short as possible. The OC pin can be floating, the
current limit will be set by Internal 2.5A current
limit. To set the over current trip point according
to the following equation:
IOCP=48000/R3
Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
In some condition, the resistive divider may be
unconnected, which will cause PWM signal to
operate with maximum duty cycle and output
voltage is boosted higher and higher. The power
MOSFET will be turned off immediately, when the
output voltage exceeds the OVP threshold level.
The MT3608L’s OVP threshold is 20V.
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Setting the Output Voltage
The internal reference VREF is 0.6V (Typical).The
output voltage is divided by a resistor divider,R1
and R2 to the FB pin. The output voltage is given
by
R
VOUT = VREF 1 + 1
R2
Inductor Selection
The recommended values of inductor are 4.7 to
22μH. Small size and better efficiency are the
major concerns for portable device, such as
MT3608L used for mobile phone. The inductor
should have low core loss at 1.2MHz and low
DCR for better efficiency. To avoid inductor
saturation current rating should be considered.
Capacitor Selection
Input and output ceramic capacitors of 22μF are
recommended for MT3608L applications. For
better voltage filtering, ceramic capacitors with
low ESR are recommended. X5R and X7R types
are suitable because of their wider voltage and
temperature ranges.
Diode Selection
Schottky diode is a good choice for MT3608L
because of its low forward voltage drop and fast

reverses recovery. Using Schottky diode can get
better efficiency. The high speed rectification is
also a good characteristic of Schottky diode for
high switching frequency. Current rating of the
diode must meet the root mean square of the peak
current and output average current multiplication

➢ SW node of DC-DC converter is with high
frequency voltage swing. It should be kept at
a small area.
➢ Place the feedback components as close as
possible to the IC and keep away from the
noisy devices.

Layout Consideration
For best performance of the MT3608L, the
following guidelines must be strictly followed.
➢ Input and Output capacitors should be placed
close to the IC and connected to ground
plane to reduce noise coupling.
➢ The GND should be connected to a strong
ground plane for heat sinking and noise
protection.
➢ Keep the main current traces as possible as
