NCV8876
Automotive Grade
Start-Stop Non-Synchronous
Boost Controller
The NCV8876 is a Non-Synchronous Boost controller designed to
supply a minimum output voltage during Start-Stop vehicle operation
battery voltage sags. The controller drives an external N-channel
MOSFET. The device uses peak current mode control with internal
slope compensation. The IC incorporates an internal regulator that
supplies charge to the gate driver.
Protection features include, cycle-by-cycle current limiting,
protection and thermal shutdown.
Additional features include low quiescent current sleep mode
operation. The NCV8876 is enabled when the supply voltage drops
below 7.3 V, with boost operation initiated when the supply voltage is
below 6.8 V.

STATUS
Function
This is an open−drain diagnostic. IC status operation flag indicator. This output is a logic low when IC VOUT is
below 7.2 V and device is active. A pull−up resistor of around 80 kW should be connected between STATUS
and a microcontroller reference. This output is a logic high when the IC is disabled or in UVLO. Ground is left
unused.
Current sense input. Connect this pin to the source of the external N−MOSFET, through a current−sense res-
istor to ground to sense the switching current for regulation and current limiting.
Ground reference.
Gate driver output. Connect to gate of the external N−MOSFET. A series resistance can be added from GDRV
to the gate to tailor EMC performance.
Driving voltage. Internally−regulated supply for driving the external N−MOSFET, sourced from VOUT. Bypass
with a 1.0
mF
ceramic capacitor to ground.
Monitors output voltage and provides IC input voltage.
Output of the voltage error transconductance amplifier. An external compensator network from VC to GND is
used to stabilize the converter.
Use a resistor to ground to set the frequency.
