The working principle and selection principle of DC-DC booster chip

Time:2024-04-28 Views:147
DC-DC booster chip working principle
    DC-DC Boost chips (Boost chips) are one of the most common types of boost chips. It increases the input voltage to the desired output voltage by using switching power supply technology. The following is the basic working principle of the DC-DC booster chip:
1.1 Input and output circuits
    The DC-DC booster chip is usually composed of an input circuit, an output circuit and a control circuit. The input circuit is connected to the power supply or battery, while the output circuit provides the desired boost output.
1.2 Switching Power Supply technology
    The boost chip uses switching power supply technology to realize the boost voltage conversion. This technology uses energy storage elements (such as inductors and capacitors) and switching devices (such as MOSFETs, BJTS, etc.) to control the conversion process of the input voltage.
1.3 Working Cycle
    The booster chip performs voltage conversion by periodically turning on and off the switching device. Each work cycle consists of two main phases: the conduction phase and the cut-off phase.
    On-on phase: In the on-on phase, a switching device (such as a MOSFET) is turned on, allowing current to be stored through the inductance into the energy storage element.
    Cut-off stage: During the cut-off stage, the switching device is turned off, severing the connection between the input voltage and the energy storage element. At this point, the energy storage element releases the stored energy and passes it to the output circuit.
1.4 Energy Transfer
    At the end of each working cycle, the energy storage element transmits the stored energy to the output circuit. This energy transfer process can be achieved through the interaction of inductors and capacitors.
    Inductance: An inductance is a component that can store electrical energy. When the switching device is turned off, the inductor will block the current change, resulting in a reverse voltage in the inductor. This reverse voltage will help increase the output voltage.
    Capacitor: A capacitor is a device that can store electrical charge. When the switching device is turned off, the capacitor will transfer the stored charge through the output circuit, thus providing a voltage boost effect.
1.5 Control Circuit
    The control circuit is used to monitor the output voltage and adjust the on-off and cutoff times of the switching devices as needed. By precisely controlling the working period of the switching device, the control circuit can provide the required output voltage stably.
What is the principle of booster chip selection
    Choosing the right booster chip is an important decision, and here are some selection principles to help you make your choice:
    1. Input and output voltage requirements: First determine which voltage level your application needs to boost to and what the input voltage range is. Make sure the chip you choose meets your needs.
    2. Output current capability: Understand the output current requirements of your application. Some applications may require a high current output, so choose a chip with sufficient output current capability.
    3. Efficiency and power: Consider the efficiency and power consumption of the chip. Efficient booster chips provide better energy efficiency and reduce heat generation.
    4. Package and layout: Consider the package type and size of the chip to ensure that it is suitable for your PCB design and application space. In addition, pay attention to the pin distribution and layout of the chip for connection and wiring with other components.
    5. Rated operating temperature range: Understand the rated operating temperature range of the chip and ensure that it is suitable for your application environment. If your application needs to operate in extreme temperature conditions, it is important to choose a chip that can meet these conditions.
    6. Reliability and quality: Check the reliability and quality record of the chip manufacturer to ensure that the selected chip has reliable performance and long life.
    7. Cost: Finally, consider the cost of the chip. According to your budget requirements, choose a cost-effective chip.
    The above principles are only some common selection criteria, the specific choice also needs to be considered according to your application needs and project requirements. The best course of action is to have a detailed discussion with the supplier or engineer to determine the best booster chip selection for you.
