HT7181 3.7V/7.4V to 16V built-in MOS high power boost IC solution

Posted on: 05/02/2022

[Introduction]DC-DC boost circuits are very common in Electronic circuits. Whether it is to match the working voltage of different devices or to improve enough output power, a boost circuit must be used. Especially for portable electronic products, the power source is battery-powered, such as single-cell lithium battery, three-cell lithium battery or lead-acid battery 12V. Through the DC-DC boost circuit, it can supply power to other circuits after boosting.

The boost chip is a switching circuit, and the most critical indicators are the input MOS switch tube current, output voltage value, boost output current and efficiency. The built-in MOS tube integrated chip DC-DC booster integrated circuit below 70W is very mature. For example, the DC-DC booster IC in the SOT-23 package on the market is boosted from 3.7V to 12V, and the maximum input current is generally within 3A; the DC-DC booster in the SOP8 package is generally less than 3A. – The maximum current of the built-in switch tube of the DC boost IC is 10A, but the maximum output voltage is 12-13V.

Shenzhen Yongfukang Technology Co., Ltd. promotes a 17.8V output, high-current asynchronous DC-DC boost IC with an integrated 14A switch tube for DC-DC boost application requirements with a boost value below 18V: HT7181. HT7181 adopts unique circuit research and development technology and advanced semiconductor process. Based on eSOP8 package, the working efficiency is as high as 92%, and no external heat sink is required; the pin function is compatible with the previously launched HT7180, and the performance is upgraded while realizing seamless switching of circuit design. .
