LESHAN RADIO COMPANY, LTD.
5A, 500KHz Synchronous Boost Converter
with Output Disconnect
LR8421 Series
INTRODUCTION:
FEATURES:
The LR8421 devices provide a power supply
solution for products powered by either a one-cell
Li-Ion or Li-polymer, or a two to three-cell alkaline,
NiCd or NiMH battery. The converter generates a
stable output voltage that is adjusted by an
external resistor divider. It provides high efficient
power conversion and is capable of delivering
output currents up to 2.1A at 5V at a supply
voltage down to 3V.
The implemented boost converter is based on a
fixed switching frequency (500kHz typical),
current-mode controller using a synchronous
rectifier to obtain maximum efficiency. Boost
switch and rectifier switch are connected internally
to provide the lowest leakage inductance and best
EMI behavior possible. The current-mode control
scheme provides fast transient response and
good output voltage accuracy. At light load, the
converter will automatically enter into Pulse
Frequency Modulation (PFM) operation to reduce
the dominant switching losses. During PFM
operation, the IC consumes very low quiescent
current and maintains high efficiency over a wide
load current range.
