CASE ANALYSIS
Scenario
Designing a boost converter using an LT1370 switching regulator to convert 5V input to 12V output for a 2A load.
Key decisions
- Select inductor value (10µH) for appropriate ripple current
- Choose Schottky diode (1N5819) for low forward voltage and fast switching
- Use 100µF output capacitor for acceptable output ripple
- Model internal switch as ideal switch for power stage topology illustration
When to reuse this
When a 5V source needs to power a 12V load up to 2A, this topology provides the high efficiency of a switching boost converter. Suitable for battery-powered or USB-supplied applications requiring higher voltage.
