DESCRIPTION
The AIC1642 is a high efficiency step-up
DC/DC converter for applications using 1 to 4
battery cells. Only three external components
are required to deliver a fixed output voltage of
2.7V, 3.0V, 3.3V, or 5V. The AIC1642 starts up
from less than 0.9V input with 1mA load. Pulse
Frequency Modulation scheme brings optimized
performance for applications with light output
loading and low input voltages. The output rip-
ple and noise are lower compared with the cir-
cuits operating in PSM mode.
The PFM control circuit operating in 100KHz
(max.) switching rate results in smaller passive
components. The space saving SOT-89 and
TO-92 packages make the AIC1642 is an ideal
choice of DC/DC converter for space conscious
applications, like pagers, electronic cameras,
and wireless microphones.
