External parts ) Coil ELM9xxxxA CMOS PFM Step-up DC/DC converter and controller To design DC/DC converters using ELM9xxxA series, coil, diode, and capacitor are necessary. Except these external parts, switching transistor is also needed when using ELM9xxxA. Please locate external parts to IC as close as possible, and lower the impedance of ground line. (Please refer to standard circuit) When choosing choke coil, please select that whose core is not magnetically saturated, DC resistance is low, and which has sufficient margin for rated current. The typical characteristics graphics of ELM9xxxA series is done by following coil : SLF745(TDK) The typical characteristics graphics of ELM9xxxA series is done by following coil : SLF45(TDK) ) Diode When choosing diode, please select that whose forward voltage is small, switching speed is high and which has sufficient margin for rated current. For ELM9 series, ELM recommends schottoky diodes. ) Capacitor When choosing capacitor, please select that which is generally used for smoothing power supply circuit, with comparatively large capacity and whose rated voltage is at least three times larger than rated output voltage of used ELM9 series. For ELM9 series, ELM recommends Aluminum electrolytic or Tantalum capacitor. Under operating conditions using capacitor with low ESR such as ceramic capacitor, larger output voltage ripple may happen and thus result in intermittent switching. To prevent output voltage ripple from becoming larger, please connect resistor {. ohm ~ a few ohm } in series with output capacitor. The output voltage of ELM9xxxA may lower when the load current is large. To prevent this, please use output capacitor with comparatively large capacity.
