1 COMP Compensation Input. Connect a series resistor-capacitor network from COMP to GND to compensate the regulator.
2 FB Output Voltage Feedback Input. Connect a resistive voltage divider from the output voltage to FB to set the
regulator output voltage.
3 EN Enable Input. Drive EN low to shut down the regulator; drive EN high to turn on the regulator.
4 GND Ground.
5 SW Switching Output. Connect the power inductor from the input voltage to SW and connect the external rectifier
from SW to the output voltage to complete the step-up converter.
6 VIN Main Power Supply Input. VIN powers the ADP1612/ADP1613 internal circuitry. Connect VIN to the input source
voltage. Bypass VIN to GND with a 10 µF or greater capacitor as close to the ADP1612/ADP1613 as possible.
7 FREQ Frequency Setting Input. FREQ controls the switching frequency. Connect FREQ to GND to program the oscillator
to 650 kHz, or connect FREQ to VIN to program it to 1.3 MHz. If FREQ is left floating, the part defaults to 650 kHz.
8 SS Soft Start Timing Capacitor Input. A capacitor connected from SS to GND brings up the output slowly at power-
up and reduces inrush current.

The +10 V is generated in the step-up configuration. The −5 V
T VOUT = 20V
and +22 V are generated by the charge-pump circuit. During
fSW = 1.3MHz the step-up operation, the SW node switches between +10 V

AC-COUPLED and ground (neglecting the forward drop of the diode and on
resistance of the switch). When the SW node is high, C5 charges
up to +10 V. When the SW node is low, C5 holds its charge and
forward-biases D8 to charge C6 to −10 V. The Zener diode (D9)
LOAD CURRENT (50mA/DIV) clamps and regulates the output to −5 V.
The VGH output is generated in a similar manner by the charge-
pump capacitors, C1, C2, and C4. The output voltage is tripled
and regulated down to 22 V by the Zener diode, D5.

PCB LAYOUT GUIDELINES

For high efficiency, good regulation, and stability, a well-designed
printed circuit board layout is required.
Use the following guidelines when designing printed circuit
boards (also see Figure 34 for a block diagram and Figure 3
for a pin configuration).
• Keep the low ESR input capacitor, CIN (labeled as C7 in
Figure 76), close to VIN and GND. This minimizes noise
injected into the part from board parasitic inductance.
• Keep the high current path from CIN (labeled as C7 in
Figure 76) through the L1 inductor to SW and GND as
short as possible.
• Keep the high current path from VIN through L1, the
rectifier (D1) and the output capacitor, COUT (labeled as
C4 in Figure 76) as short as possible.
• Keep high current traces as short and as wide as possible.
• Place the feedback resistors as close to FB as possible to
prevent noise pickup. Connect the ground of the feedback
06772-076

network directly to an AGND plane that makes a Kelvin

Figure 76. Example Layout for ADP1612/ADP1613 Boost Application connection to the GND pin.
(Top Layer) • Place the compensation components as close as possible to
COMP. Connect the ground of the compensation network
directly to an AGND plane that makes a Kelvin connection
to the GND pin.
• Connect the softstart capacitor, CSS (labeled as C1 in
Figure 76) as close to the device as possible. Connect the
ground of the softstart capacitor to an AGND plane that
makes a Kelvin connection to the GND pin.
• Avoid routing high impedance traces from the compensa-
tion and feedback resistors near any node connected to SW
or near the inductor to prevent radiated noise injection.
