OPERATION
The STI3508 uses a fixed frequency, peak current mode boost regulator architecture to
regulate voltage at the feedback pin. The operation of the STI3508 can be understood by
referring to the block diagram of Figure 3. At the start of each oscillator cycle the MOSFET is
turned on through the control circuitry. To prevent sub-harmonic oscillations at duty cycles
greater than 50 percent, a stabilizing ramp is added to the output of the current sense
amplifier and the result is fed into the negative input of the PWM comparator. When this
voltage equals the output voltage of the error amplifier the power MOSFET is turned off. The
voltage at the output of the error amplifier is an amplified version of the difference between
the 1.2V band gap reference voltage and the feedback voltage. In this way the peak current
level keeps the output in regulation. If the feedback voltage starts to drop, the output of the
error amplifier increases. These results in more current to flow through the power MOSFET,
thus increasing the power delivered to the output. The STI3508 has internal soft start to limit
the amount of input current at startup and to also limit the amount of overshoot on the
output.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Setting the Output Voltage

The internal reference VREF is 0.6V (Typical).The output voltage is divided by a resistor
divider,R1 and R2 to the FB pin. The output voltage is given by
R1
VOUT  VREF  (1  )
R2

Inductor Selection

The recommended values of inductor are 4.7 to 22μH. Small size and better efficiency are the
major concerns for portable device, such as STI3508 used for mobile phone. The inductor
should have low core loss at 1MHz and low DCR for better efficiency. To avoid inductor
saturation current rating should be considered.

Capacitor Selection

Input and output ceramic capacitors of 22μF are recommended for STI3508 applications. For
better voltage filtering, ceramic capacitors with low ESR are recommended. X5R and X7R
types are suitable because of their wider voltage and temperature ranges.

Diode Selection

Schottky diode is a good choice for STI3508 because of its low forward voltage drop and fast
reverses recovery. Using Schottky diode can get better efficiency. The high speed
rectification is also a good characteristic of Schottky diode for high switching frequency.
Current rating of the diode must meet the root mean square of the peak current and output
average current multiplication as following:
I D ( RMS )  I OUT  I PEAK

The diode’s reverse breakdown voltage should be larger than the output voltage.

Layout Consideration

For best performance of the STI3508, the following guidelines must be strictly followed.
 Input and Output capacitors should be placed close to the IC and connected to ground
plane to reduce noise coupling.
 The GND should be connected to a strong ground plane for heat sinking and noise
protection.
 Keep the main current traces as possible as short and wide.
 LX node of DC-DC converter is with high frequency voltage swing. It should be kept at a
small area.
 Place the feedback components as close as possible to the IC and keep away from the
noisy devices.
