Application Information
10.1.1 Principle:
The TLE8386-2EL can be configured as a boost converter, where the desired output voltage VBO is always higher
than the input voltage VIN. A boost convertor is not short-circuit protected. If the output voltage VBO is shorted, the
output current will only be limited by the input voltage VIN capability.
A typical boost converter application is shown in Figure 8, the elements and abbreviations and their meanings are:
• LBOOST = boost inductor
• LINPUT = input filter inductor, recommended to reduce electromagnetic emissions
• CIN1 = input filter capacitor
• CIN2 = additional input filter capacitor, recommended to reduce electromagnetic emissions
• COUT = output filter capacitor
• DBOOST = output diode
• VIN = input voltage
• VINMIN = minimum input voltage
• VBO = boost output voltage
• RCS = current sense resistor
• RFBH = boost output voltage resistor divider, highside resistor
• RFBL = boost output voltage resistor divider, lowside resistor
• RCOMP, CCOMP = compensation network elements
• RFREQ = frequency setting resistor
• CSST = softstart setting capacitor
• CIVCC = capacitor for internal LDO
• D = duty cycle
• DMAX = maximum duty cycle
• fFREQ = Switching Frequency
• IIN = input current
• IBO = output current
• IBOMAX = maximum output current
The ratio between input voltage VIN and output voltage VBO in continuos conduction mode (CCM) is:
V-----B---O--
VIN

VBO
In discontinous conduction mode (DCM) the conversion ratio at a fixed frequency is higher, the switching current
increases and efficiency is reduced. The maximum duty cycle DMAX occurs for minimum input voltage VINMIN.
