3 Description

The LM2623-Q1 is a high-efficiency, generalpurpose,

step-up DC-DC switching regulator for

automotive systems. The device accepts an input

voltage between 0.9 V and 14 V and converts it into a

regulated output voltage between 1.24 V and 14 V.

In order to adapt to a number of applications, the

LM2623-Q1 allows the designer to program the

output voltage, the operating frequency (300 kHz to

2 MHz), and duty cycle (17% to 90%) to optimize

performance. The selected values can be fixed or can

vary with input voltage or input-to-output voltage ratio.

The LM2623-Q1 uses a very simple, on/off regulation

mode to produce good efficiency and stable operation

over a wide operating range. The device normally

regulates by skipping switching cycles when it

reaches the regulation limit (pulse frequency

modulation (PFM)).
