A boost regulator is a voltage conversion method used to increase the input voltage in an electrical circuit. This technology is essential when the power supply voltage is too low to operate a circuit. By elevating the voltage supplied, a boost regulator ensures that enough energy is delivered to the circuit, preventing stops or malfunctions and guaranteeing safe operation. It is commonly implemented in voltage conversion integrated circuits (ICs), such as boost DC/DC converters.
Boost regulators are vital for powering low-voltage electrical equipment. They are particularly useful in low-power consumption devices, like portable electronics powered by AA batteries. In devices where only a few AA batteries are used, the combined voltage might not suffice for the internal circuitry. Boost regulators address this by increasing the voltage to a level adequate for driving the electric circuit, thereby enabling the device's functionality.
The circuit configuration of a boost regulator includes an input power supply, inductor, MOSFET (switch), diode, capacitor, and output terminal. The operation works as follows: When the MOSFET switch is ON, current flows through the inductor, allowing it to store energy. Upon switching the MOSFET OFF, the combined voltage of the stored energy in the inductor and the input power supply is applied to the capacitor and output terminals. This results in an output voltage higher than the input, due to the added energy from the inductor. By rapidly cycling the MOSFET switch between ON and OFF, the input voltage is steadily boosted.
