FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LM2623 is a high efficiency, general purpose,
step-up DC-DC switching regulator for battery-
powered and low input voltage systems. It accepts an
input voltage between .8 and 14 volts and converts it
into a regulated output voltage between 1.24 and 14
volts. Efficiencies up to 90% are achievable with the
LM2623.

In order to adapt to a number of applications, the
LM2623 allows the designer to vary the output
voltage, the operating frequency (300kHz to 2 MHz)
and duty cycle (17% to 90%) to optimize the part's
performance. The selected values can be fixed or can
vary with battery voltage or input to output voltage

regulation mode to produce good efficiency and
stable operation over a wide operating range. It
normally regulates by skipping switching cycles when
it reaches the regulation limit (Pulse Frequency
Modulation).
