LM2623
SNVS188H –MAY 2004–REVISED NOVEMBER 2014
LM2623 General-Purpose, Gated-Oscillator-Based DC/DC Boost Converter
1 Features
3 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 0.8 V and 14 V and converts it
into a regulated output voltage between 1.24 V and
14 V. 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 (300 kHz 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

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