Description

This reference design uses the LM25122-Q1 boost controller. The output voltage is 5 V with 5-Amax output current. The typical input voltage range is from 6 V to 18 V. The circuit is designed to withstand input voltages as low as cold crank 3 V and load dump up to 36 V. Switching frequency FSW on this individual board is measured at 261 kHz.

The additional jumper on the bottom side provides a needed ON and OFF feature.
