3V to 42V synchronous GaN boost converter reference design

PMP31404

Design files

Overview

The reference design is designed for high boost factor and high efficiency. The design operates over a wide input voltage range, starting from 3V using the LMG5126 boost converter with integrated Gallium Nitride (GaN) field-effect transistors (FETs). The reference design includes features such as spread spectrum, current limit, thermal shutdown, overvoltage protection, and undervoltage lockout.

Features
  • Small form factor reference design
  • Ultra-high boost factor
  • Low input voltage of 3V
  • Synchronous GaN boost converter
  • Inductor current monitoring and average current limit
  • Programmable line undervoltage lockout (UVLO) and hysteresis
