[0024] Various other advantages and benefits will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading the detailed description of the preferred embodiment below. The accompanying drawings are for illustration purposes only and are not to be considered as limiting the present invention. The same reference symbols are used throughout the accompanying drawings to represent the same components. In the accompanying drawings:

[0025] Figure 1 The utility model shows a boost circuit diagram with adjustable output voltage. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0027] like Figure 1As shown, a boost circuit with adjustable output voltage includes: a boost chip U1, wherein the FB port of U1 is connected to a common ground terminal VSS through three parallel voltage regulating circuits. Each voltage regulating circuit includes a resistor and a transistor connected in series. For example, in the voltage regulating circuit composed of R4 and Q1, one end of R4 is connected to the FB port, and the other end is connected to the drain of Q1. The source of Q1 is connected to VSS, and the gate is connected to a first control voltage V1. In the voltage regulating circuit composed of R5 and Q2, one end of R5 is connected to the FB port, and the other end is connected to the drain of Q2. The source of Q2 is connected to VSS, and the gate is connected to a second control voltage V2. In the voltage regulating circuit composed of R6 and Q3, one end of R6 is connected to the FB port, and the other end is connected to the drain of Q3. The source of Q3 is connected to VSS, and the gate is connected to a third control voltage V3. Q1, Q2, and Q3 are N-channel enhancement type field effect transistors.

[0028] Additionally, U1's GND port is connected to VSS, its VIN port is connected to the VIN input voltage, its EN port is connected to VIN via resistor R8, and inductor L1 is connected between U1's VIN and SW ports. The anode of diode D1 is connected to the SW port, and its cathode is connected to the voltage output terminal VOUT.

[0029] The resistor R1 is connected between the cathode of the diode D1 and the FB port, and the resistors R2 and R3 are connected in series between the FB port and VSS.

[0030] Capacitor C2 is connected between the cathode of D1 and the FB port, and capacitor C3 is connected between the cathode of D1 and VSS. Resistor R10 is connected between the cathode of D1 and the voltage output terminal. R9 is a discharge resistor connected between the voltage output terminal and VSS. The TVS1 bidirectional diode is also connected between the voltage output terminal and VSS.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, there are four types of output voltage circuits: when Q1, Q2, and Q3 are not working, the output is VOUT0; when Q1 is working, the output is VOUT1; when Q2 is working, the output is VOUT2; and when Q3 is working, the output is VOUT3.

[0032] For a boost circuit, the formula for calculating a normal fixed-voltage output is VOUT = (R1 / R0+1)*VFB (R0 represents the equivalent resistance of U1's FB pin to VSS). VFB is the feedback voltage, a fixed value determined by the selected boost chip.

[0033] According to the above calculation formula, adjusting the resistance value of R0 can adjust the result of VOUT. Figure 1, add three different switch circuits at the FB end, turn on Q1, Q2, Q3 through V1, V2, V3, and you can get three different VOUT voltages. At this time:

[0034] R0=(R4*(R2+R3)) / (R2+R3+R4),

[0035] Then VOUT=(R1 / ((R4*(R2+R3)) / (R2+R3+R4))+1)*VFB

[0036] R2 and R3 can be combined into one resistor R0. These two resistors are used to improve the output VOUT accuracy.

[0037] The boost chip VIN input range required by this utility model is 2.5V-5.5V, the output voltage can reach 40V, and the VFB options are 0.1 / 0.2 / 0.25 / 0.3 / 0.6V.

[0038] TVS1 is a voltage-stabilizing diode that protects other components in the circuit from overvoltage. A TVS diode is a transient voltage suppression diode.

[0039] V1, V2, and V3 correspond to different output voltages, VOUT1, VOUT2, and VOUT3, respectively. When Q1, Q2, and Q3 are all inoperative, the output voltage is VOUT0. For example, to achieve the desired output voltage of VOUT1, V1 must exceed the gate voltage of the N-channel enhancement mode field effect transistor (this voltage is the fixed gate voltage of the N-channel enhancement mode field effect transistor, such as 2.1V), while V2 and V3 must be below 2.1V. To achieve the desired output voltage of VOUT0, V1, V2, and V3 must all be below 2.1V.

[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
