CONTINUOUS CONDUCTION MODE

The LM2622 is a current-mode, PWM boost regulator. A boost regulator steps the input voltage up to a higher

output voltage. In continuous conduction mode (when the inductor current never reaches zero at steady state),

the boost regulator operates in two cycles.

In the first cycle of operation, shown in Figure 17 (a), the transistor is closed and the diode is reverse biased.

The second cycle is shown in Figure 17 (b). During this cycle, the transistor is open and the diode is forward

biased. The energy stored in the inductor is transferred to the load and output capacitor.

The ratio of these two cycles determines the output voltage. The output voltage is defined approximately as:

D is the duty cycle of the switch

SETTING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE

The output voltage is set using the feedback pin and a resistor divider connected to the output as shown in the

typical operating circuit. The feedback pin voltage is 1.26V, so the ratio of the feedback resistors sets the output

voltage according to the following equation:
