Hello,
I am trying to build a boost voltage regulator that converts 2.5 v to 5v. So I found the MCP1623 from Microchip and I followed the recomended application on the datasheet.
I made a prototype board following the recommended layout but I am getting an output of 3.5 v instead of 5v.
One thing to note is the that feedback voltage is 0.8 v instead of 1.2 v as mentioned in the datasheet. What's causing this discrepancy?
Schematics attached.
Input voltage is 2.5v
Inductor is 4.7uH
Rtop =976K
Rbottom=309K
