Introduction
The ＣＭＤ1408/9 is a CMOS step-up switching DC/DC converter that mainly consists of a reference voltage source, an oscillator, and a comparator. The ＣＭＤ1408 allows the duty ratio to be automatically switched according to the load (light load: 50%, high output current: 75%), enabling products with a low ripple over a wide range, high efficiency, and high output current. With the ＣＭＤ1408/9, a step-up switching DC/DC converter can be configured by using an external coil, capacitor, diode and NMOS or NPN. The built-in MOSFET is turned off by a protection circuit when the voltage at the LX pin exceeds the limit to prevent it from
being damaged. This feature, along with the mini package and low current consumption, makes the ＣＭＤ1408 ideal for
applications such as the power supply unit of portable equipment.
