Current limit PFM control is used for the control method to make it difficult for the output voltage ripple to increase even when the switching
current is superimposed, so the product can be used within a wide voltage and current range. Further, because PFM control is used, it has
excellent transient response to support low capacity ceramic capacitors to realize a compact, high-performance boost DC/DC converter.
The synchronous driver and rectifier switch Tr efficiently sends the coil energy to the capacitor connected to the VOUT pin to achieve highly
efficient operation from low to high loads.
The electrical characteristics actual output voltage VOUT(E) is the PFM comparator threshold voltage shown in the block diagram. Therefore, the
booster circuit output voltage average value, including the peripheral components, depends on the ripple voltage, so this must be carefully
evaluated before being used in the actual product.

< Reference Voltage Source (VREF)>
The reference voltage source (VREF voltage) provides the reference voltage to ensure stable output voltage of the DC/DC converter.
< PFM Control >
①The voltage from the output voltage divided by the division resistors RFB1 and RFB2 in the IC is used as feedback voltage (FB voltage), and the
PFM comparator is compared with the FB voltage and VREF. If the FB voltage is lower than VREF, the signal is sent to the buffer driver via the
PFM control circuit and the Nch driver Tr is turned ON. If the FB voltage is higher than VREF, the PFM comparator sends a signal that does not
turn ON the Nch driver Tr.
②The current sense circuit monitors the current flowing in the Nch driver Tr connected to the Lx pin when the Nch driver Tr is ON. When the
prescribed PFM switching current (IPFM) is reached, the signal is sent to the buffer driver via the PFM control circuit to turn OFF the Nch driver Tr
and turn ON the Pch synchronous rectifier switch Tr.
③The Pch synchronous rectifier switch Tr ON time (off time) is dynamically optimized internally. After the off time has passed, when the PFM
comparator confirms the VOUT voltage has exceeded the set voltage, a signal that does not allow the Nch driver Tr to be turned on is sent from
the PFM comparator to the PFM control circuit, but if the VOUT voltage remains lower than the set voltage, then Nch driver Tr ON is started.
The intervals of the above ①②③ linked operations are continuously adjusted in response to the load current to ensure the output voltage is
kept stable from low to high loads and that it is done with good efficiency.
