POWER

This pin is the power side of the external inductor and must be connected to the
external Schottky diode. It provides the output current to the load. Since the boost
converter operates in a current loop mode, the output voltage can range up to
+24 V but shall not extend this limit. However, if the voltage on this pin is higher
than the Over Voltage Protection threshold (OVP) the device comes back to
shutdown mode. To restart the chip, one must either send a Low to High
sequence on Pin EN, or switch off the V

bat

 supply. A capacitor must be used on

the output voltage to avoid false triggering of the OVP circuit. This capacitor
should be 1.0 

m

F minimum. Ceramic type, (ESR <100 m

W

), is mandatory to

achieve the high end efficiency. This capacitor limits the noise created by the fast
transients present in this circuitry. In order to limit the inrush current and to
operate with an acceptable start−up time, it is recommended to use any value
between 1.0 

m

F and 8.2 

m

F capacitor maximum. Care must be observed to avoid

EMI through the PCB copper tracks connected to this pin.

GND

POWER

This pin is the system ground for the NCP5006 and carries both the power and
the analog signals. High quality ground must be provided to avoid spikes and/or
uncontrolled operation. Care must be observed to avoid high−density current flow
in a limited PCB copper track. Ground plane technique is recommended.

FB

ANALOG INPUT

This pin provides the output current range adjustment by means of a sense
resistor connected to the analog control or with a PWM control. The dimming
function can be achieved by applying a PWM voltage technique to this pin (see
Figure 29). The current output tolerance depends upon the accuracy of this
resistor. Using a 

"

5% metal film resistor or better, yields a good enough output

current accuracy.
Note: A built−in comparator switch OFF the DC/DC converter if the voltage
sensed across this pin and ground is higher than 700 mV (typical).

EN

DIGITAL INPUT

This is an Active−High logic input which enables the boost converter. The built−in
pull down resistor disables the device when the EN pin is left open. The LED
brightness can be controlled by applying a pulse width modulated signal to the
enable pin (see Figure 31).

bat

POWER

The external voltage supply is connected to this pin. A high quality reservoir
capacitor must be connected across Pin 1 and Ground to achieve the specified
output voltage parameters. A 4.7 

m

F/6.3 V, low ESR capacitor must be connected

as close as possible across Pin 5 and ground Pin 2. The X5R or X7R ceramic
MURATA types are recommended. The return side of the external inductor shall
be connected to this pin. Typical application will use a 22 

m

H, size 1008, to handle

the 1.0 to 100 mA max output current range. On the other hand, when the desired
output current is above 20 mA, the inductor shall have an ESR < 1.5 

W

 to achieve

a good efficiency over the V

bat

 range
