Application examples 1
See Fig. 4, earth connection behind the electrochemical capacitor C3 that the vdd terminal serial connection filtering of the DC boost converter U1 of embodiment 1 is used; The parallel circuits two ends of being made up of resistance R 3 and photo resistance R2 connect EN end and the vdd terminal of U1 respectively.The GND termination ground wire of U1.Connect the positive pole that external dc power Vin is a rechargeable battery after the LX end tandem electric inductance L of U1 and the switch SW.In parallel behind the positive pole serial connection voltage-stabiliser tube D1 of solar panel with rechargeable battery Vin.Earth connection behind the R terminating resistor R1 of U1.LED light-emitting diode D2 connects the LX end of U1.The G end of resistance R 4 one termination U1, the contact of another termination inductance L and switch SW.Cross the resistance that the resistance of putting between protection voltage input end G and the external dc power Vin voltage is R4.
The LED light-emitting diode can be one, also can be to be in series or many in parallel; And can send Huang, colourama such as green, red or white.
The operation principle of the application circuit of above-mentioned DC boost converter is as follows:

When being daytime, photo resistance R2 resistance is less, so the voltage of the vdd terminal of U1 makes the EN end be in high level, thereby the nmos type efferent duct in the U1 is ended, and LED light-emitting diode D2 is not luminous.
When being night, photo resistance R2 resistance is bigger, so after the parallel circuits step-down that the voltage of the vdd terminal of U1 is made up of resistance R 3 and photo resistance R2, deficiency is so that the EN end is in high level, promptly the EN end is in low level; At this moment, U1 begins normally to boost, and promptly external inductors L charges respectively according to the conducting of nmos type efferent duct and cut-off state and discharges; Until the voltage that is enough to driving LED light-emitting diode D2 in the control end LX formation of boosting, and lasting this load of driving.
Therebetween, when the voltage that G end records rechargeable battery Vin by resistance R 4 begins to reduce, the voltage that U1 controls described enable logic input EN raises gradually, the operating frequency of oscillator 2 is reduced, with frequency, and reduce to flow through the electric current of external inductors L by reducing the continuous conducting of nmos type efferent duct and ending; When externally the output voltage of DC power supply Vin was lower than 0.8V (should use-case in resistance R 4=0.6K Ω), LDNMOS type efferent duct ended, and the nmos type efferent duct is ended, and external inductors L stops to discharge and recharge, and LED light-emitting diode D2 extinguishes.
