APPLICATIONS
The MT3608B is a constant frequency, 6-pin
SOT23 current mode step-up converter intended for
small, low power applications. The MT3608B
switches at 1.2MHz and allows the use of tiny, low
cost capacitors and inductors 2mm or less in height.
Internal soft-start results in small inrush current and
extends battery life.
The MT3608B features automatic shifting to pulse
frequency modulation mode at light loads. The
MT3608B includes under-voltage lockout, current
limiting, and thermal overload protection to prevent
damage in the event of an output overload. The
MT3608B is available in a small 6-pin SOT-23
package.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The MT3608B uses a fixed frequency, peak
current mode boost regulator architecture to
regulate voltage at the feedback pin. The operation
of the MT3608B 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 sub-harmonic
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
MT3608B Rev1.1
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 MT3608B has
internal soft start to limit the amount of input
current at startup and to also limit the amount of
overshoot on the output.

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
MT3608B 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 MT3608B 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.
Layout Consideration
For best performance of the MT3608B, 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
short and wide.
➢ 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.

Diode Selection
Schottky diode is a good choice for MT3608B
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
as following

The diode’ s reverse breakdown voltage should
