PMOS Selection in the Appendix for information
on sizing the PMOS and the biasing resistor,

and picking appropriate UVLO components.
Note 1: Above equations use numbers good for many applications but
for more exact results use the equations from the appendix with numbers
from the Electrical Characteristics.

may deviate from the
above equations in order to obtain desired load transient performance.
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Figure 5. Boost Converter – The Component Values Given
Are Typical Values for a 1.5MHz, 5V to 12V Boost
Each channel of the LT8582 can be configured as a boost
converter as in Figure 5. This topology allows for positive
output voltages that are higher than the input voltage. An
external PMOS (optional) driven by the GATE pin of the
LT8582 can achieve input or output disconnect during a
FAULT event, SHDN < 1.31V, or V
IN
< 2.3V. Figure 5 shows
the configuration for output disconnect. A single feedback
resistor sets the output voltage. For output voltages higher
than 40V, see the Charge Pump Topology in the Charge
Pump Aided Regulators section.
Table 1 is a step-by-step set of equations to calculate
component values for the LT8582 when operating as a
boost converter. Input parameters are input and output
voltage and switching frequency (V
IN
, V
OUT
and f
OSC
re-
spectively). Refer to the Appendix for further information
on the design equations presented in Table 1.
