   <p style="box-sizing: inherit;">When we use Microprocessor or low power controllers in circuit we need to provide additional power source to drive external peripherals. When we implement more power source then the circuit design becomes bulky and more complex. In this article 3.7V to 5V boost converter circuit is designed with DC/DC Step up Converter ME2108 Series.</p>

It requires only three external components to become step up converter. This IC can be used for battery powered equipments with low supply current.</ins></ins></ins></p>

   <p style="box-sizing: inherit;">As we know DC Power supply can be boosted by high frequency switching pulse by the way this prototype schematic uses the same principle to bring high voltage output from low voltage input.</p>
   <p style="box-sizing: inherit;">Due to internal Architecture the IC ME2108 uses minimum external components. It requires Inductor at the input and Schottky diode then Capacitors at output. This IC uses 180KHz maximum switching frequency by the value of Inductor and output capacitor we can change the output voltage range. This IC can deliver 400mA output current if the input voltage 3.0V and output voltage fixed at 5.0V.</p>

   <p style="box-sizing: inherit;">When you design the PCB for boost converter using ME2108 set external components as close as possible to the IC and minimize the connection between components and IC.</p>
   <p style="box-sizing: inherit;">Use Capacitor with a capacity of 10µF or more in 1210 package. (you can try some other package also). Use SMD Inductor 220 for better noise less output. Use SMD Schottky diode SS14 it will provide fast switching response.</p>
