SNVS188I May 2004 – October 2017 LM2623
PRODUCTION DATA.
The LM2623 can start up from voltages as low as 1.1 V. On start-up, the control circuitry switches the N-channel MOSFET continuously until the output reaches 3 V. After this output voltage is reached, the normal step-up regulator feedback and gated oscillator control scheme take over. Once the device is in regulation, it can operate down to below 0.8 V input, since the internal power for the IC can be boot-strapped from the output using the VDD pin.
