DESCRIPTION
The SP6644/6645 devices are high-efficiency, low-power step-up DC-DC converters ideal
for single or dual alkaline cell applications such as pagers, remote controls, pointing devices,
medical monitors, and other low-power portable end products. Designers can control the
SP6644 device with an active LOW shutdown input. The SP6644 device features an active
low output for batteries below +1.0V. The SP6645 device features an active low output for
batteries below +2.0V. Both devices contain a 0.8Ω synchronous rectifier, a 0.5Ω
N-channel MOSFET power switch, an internal voltage reference, circuitry for pulse-
frequency-modulation, and an under voltage comparator. The output voltage for the
SP6644/6645 devices is preset to +3.3V + 4% or can be adjusted from +2V to +5.5V by
manipulating two external resistors

NOTE 1:
The reverse battery current is measured from the Typical Operating Circuit's input terminal to GND
when the battery is connected backward. A reverse current of 220mA will not exceed package dissipation limits
but, if left for an extended time (more than 10 minutes), may degrade performance.
