The PS0100 is a synchronous, step-up DC/DC
converter delivering high efficiency in a SOT-26
package. The device has an internal NMOS switch
and PMOS synchronous rectifier and has the
capacity of supplying 3.3V at 100mA from a single
AA cell input.
High frequency switching (up to 2MHz) minimizes
the board area by allowing the use of tiny, low
profile inductors and ceramic capacitors.
The PS0100 provides automatic pulse skipping at
light loads, thus reducing the supply current for
extended battery life. At shutdown, the PS0100
fully discharges the output to ground and draws no
supply current.
The PS0100 is available in small SOT-26 package
with both fixed and adjustable output voltage
versions.

Note 1:
Minimum operating input voltage is fixed by the battery’s ability to provide necessary power at that
(terminal) voltage. Below this voltage, the battery fails to deliver required power as it enters into deeply
discharged state. This voltage can be lower if the required duty cycle is less.
Note 2:
When the input voltage is greater than the output voltage regulation point, the part operates in track
mode (see Track Mode).
Note 3:
For applications where V
OUT
> 4.3V, an external Schottky diode is recommended.
Note 4:
Limits are 100% production tested at T
A
=25°C. Specifications over the -40°C to +85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design.
