In most step-up converter designs, a reasonable induc-
tor value can be derived from the following equation.
This equation sets peak-to-peak inductor current at 1/2
the DC inductor current:
where f
the duty factor given by D = 1 - (V
from the equation above results in a peak-to-peak
inductor current ripple of 0.5 x I
inductor current of 1.25 x I
peak (saturation) current rating of the inductor meets or
exceeds this requirement. The recommended induc-
tance range for the MAX8815A is 1µH to 2.2µH. See
Table 1 for recommended inductors.
Output capacitor C2 in Figures 1a and 1b is required to
keep the output voltage ripple small and to ensure reg-
ulation loop stability. The output capacitors must have
low impedance at the switching frequency. Make sure
the output capacitors maintain their capacitance over
DC bias and the desired operating temperature range.
One 22µF tantalum capacitor is recommended.
Input capacitor C1 reduces the current peaks drawn
from the battery or input power source and reduce
switching noise in the IC. The impedance of the input
capacitor at the switching frequency should be kept
very low. A ceramic capacitor is highly recommended
due to their small size and low ESR. Make sure the
input capacitors maintain their capacitance over DC
bias and the desired operating temperature range.
Ceramic capacitors with X5R or X7R dielectric temper-
ature characteristics generally perform well. Two 4.7µF
or one 10µF ceramic capacitors are recommended.

Good printed-circuit board (PCB) layout is important to
achieve optimal performance for the MAX8815A. Poor
design can cause excessive conducted and radiated
noise. Conductors carrying discontinuous currents and
any high-current path should be made as short and
wide as possible. Keep the feedback network (R1 and
R2) very close to the IC, preferably within 0.2in of the
FB and GND pins. Nodes with high dV/dt (switching
nodes) should be kept as small as possible and routed
away from FB. Connect the input and output capacitors
as close as possible to the IC. Refer to the MAX8815A
EV kit data sheet for a PCB layout example.
