2MHz Automotive Non-Synchronous Boost Controller

December 15, 2017 by Paul Shepard

The NCV898032 from ON Semiconductor is an adjustable output non−synchronous boost controller which drives an external N−channel MOSFET. The device uses peak current mode control with internal slope compensation. The IC incorporates an internal regulator that supplies charge to the gate driver.

Protection features include internally−set soft−start, undervoltage lockout, cycle−by−cycle current limiting and thermal shutdown. Additional features include low quiescent current sleep mode and microprocessor compatible input pin.

Applications are expected to include various automotive systems such as: LED lighting, backlighting, headlamps; Start-stop systems; Boost, Flyback, SEPIC, Cuk Topologies; and Direct gas injection systems.
