• Output voltage: 5V.• Maximum output current: 200mA.The output voltage is higher than the input voltage. A boost converter will be used.Choice control ICThe LTC3528 from Linear Technology was chosen for the control IC. The devices includesthe control and the switch. There is no need of external rectifier diode (an internal FET takethe place of the diode).The advantages of the LTC3528 model are:1. Very small size.2. High expected efficiency (90% to 95%).3. A special mode improves efficiency at light load.4. Power PAD and thermal shutdown.5. There is a soft-start.6. Low start-up voltage (700mV).The choice of the control IC mainly depends on the properties of its internal switch. Thisswitch must be able to:1. withstand a current equal to I max .2. withstand a voltage of V out + V diode .3. dissipate the heat due to switching losses and ohmic resistance.This is verified below.Maximum current in the switchThe switch is able to withstand 1A.Maximum voltage on the switch:The LTC3528 can be used for an output voltage from 1.6V to 5.25V.Heat dissipation:62

The junction to air thermal resistance R θJA of the LTC3528 is equal to 76 ◦ C/W when thepower PAD is soldered. The maximum operating junction temperature is 125 ◦ C. A margin of25 ◦ C is taken. The converter is designed to work with a PCB temperature of -40 ◦ C to 85 ◦ C.The maximum dissipated power isP D = T J − T A 100 − 85= = 0.2W.R ϑJA 76Switching frequencyThe switching frequency of the LTC3528 is 1MHz.Design of inductor and capacitorThe same worksheet as for the 7.2V converter is used to find a good compromise betweenk and the size of the components. Results for k = 0.84, ∆v m ax = 10mV, and η = 0.90 arepresented in Fig. 5.11. The coefficient k does not lie in the usually recommended range. Tohave a lower k, the inductance must be higher, and as a consequence, the inductor is bigger,which is not in our interest. The LTC3528 can be quite efficient with a quite high k becauseit enters in ”burst mode” when the load is light. In this mode, the converter is active during a”burst” period, to charge the output capacitor; then the load slowly discharges the capacitor.The burst mode is illustrated in Fig. 5.12.Figure 5.11: Worksheet for 5V converter.63
