MC34063 boost calculator

After you have entered your requirements on the left, hit the Go button to calculate your component values. If you need to tweak some components, Ct, R1, and the component Tol may be adjusted without hitting Go again.


I also have an ON Semiconductor switching regulator library for schematic symbols here.

There is a example schematic here in DesignWorks format.

MC34063 Boost calculator actually supports 21 different parts from five suppliers. Each variant has a different temperature range, maximum frequency, reference voltage, and so on. This program checks your design against limits for the device selected. This program used ON Semiconductor’s Application note AN920 for most of the math. The Boost converter design information starts on page 8 of AN920. Additional functionality includes error budgeting the reference and component values.http://www.onsemi.com/pub/Collateral/AN920-D.PDFshapeimage_5_link_0

The device you select will automatically populate the temperature range fields. If your application will use a subset of this range, or you intend to use the part out of specification, adjust your temperature range so output accuracy is correct due to resistor temperature coefficient calculations.

If this isn’t enough for you, you might try a full Spice simulation. A Spice model of the MC34063 can be found here. There are several free Spice ports for OS X, a list is here on my simulators page.
