24V 4A PWM STEP-UP DC-DC CONVERTER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The SLM6240 devices are high-performance, fixed
frequency, current-mode PWM step-up DC/DC
converters that incorporate internal power MOSFETs.
The SLM6240 includes an integrated 80-mΩ power
switch that supports peak currents of up to 4A. The
device is capable of providing an output voltage up
to 24 V.
The SLM6240 uses peak current control topology to
regulate the output voltage. In moderate to heavy
load condition, the SLM6240 works in the pulse
width modulation (PWM) mode. In light load
condition, the device works in the pulse frequency
modulation (PFM) mode to improve the efficiency.
The SLM6240 utilizes simple external loop
compensation allowing optimization between
component size, cost and AC performance across a
wide range of applications. Additional functions
include an externally programmable soft-start
function for easy inrush current control, internal overvoltage protection (OVP), cycle-by-cycle current limit
protection, under voltage lock-out and thermal
shutdown.
The SLM6240 is available in the small SOIC8-EP
package.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
The SLM6240 are highly efficient step-up DC/DC
converters that employ a current mode, fixed
frequency pulse-width modulation (PWM)
architecture with excellent line and load regulation.
The SLM6240 operate at constant switching
frequency under medium to high load current
conditions. At light loads, these devices operate in a
pulse-skipping mode in order to improve light-load
efficiency.
Soft-Start
The SLM6240 both offer a programmable soft-start
function which minimizes inrush current during
startup. The soft-start period is programmed by
connecting a 10nF capacitor between SS and
Ground. Operation of the soft-start function is as
follows: when the IC is disabled, SS is actively
discharged to Ground. Upon enabling the IC, CSS is
charged with a 4.5μA current so that the voltage at
SS increases in a controlled manner. The peak
inductor current is limited by the voltage at SS, so
that the input current is limited until the soft-start
period expires, and the regulator can achieve its full
output current rating.
Setting the Output Voltage
The both feature external adjustable output voltages
of up to 24V. To program the output voltage, simply
connect a resistive voltage divider between the
output, FB, and GND, with resistors set according to
the following equation:

where
VOUT is the output voltage of the boost regulator.
IOUT is the output current of the boost regulator.
VIN is the input voltage of the boost regulator.
ICL is the input switching peak current limit of the
boost regulator.
IRIPPLE is the inductor ripple current of the boost
regulator.
η is the power conversion efficiency.
Open Circuit Protection
Once the outputs achieve regulation, if the voltage at
FB falls below 0.2V the controller will automatically
disable, preventing the controller from running openloop and potentially damaging the IC and load.
Shutdown
Drive EN low to disable the IC and reduce the supply
current to just 0.1μA. As with all non-synchronous
step-up DC/DC converters, the external Schottky
diode provides a DC path from the input to the
output in shutdown. As a result, the output drops to
one diode voltage drop below the input in shutdown.
The SLM6240 both feature integrated thermal
overload protection. Both devices are automatically
disabled when their junction temperatures exceed
+150°C, and automatically re-enable when the die
temperature decreases by 15°C.
Rectifier Selection
For optimal performance, the rectifier should be a
Schottky rectifier that is rated to handle both the
output voltage as well as the peak switch current.
Open Voltage Protection
The features internal automatic over-voltage
protection, when feedback voltage is higher than
115%.
Overcurrent Protection
The SLM6240 has a cycle-by-cycle overcurrent limit
protection that turns off the power switch once the
inductor current reaches the overcurrent limit
threshold. The PWM circuitry resets itself at the
beginning of the next switch cycle. During an
