AIC1638
1-Cell, 3-Pin, Step-Up DC/DC Converter
FEATURES
A Guaranteed Start-Up from less than 0.9 V.
High Efficiency.
Low Quiescent Current.
Less Number of External Components needed.
Low Ripple and Low Noise.
Fixed Output Voltage: 2.7V, 3.0V, 3.1V, 3.3V,
4.5V and 5V.
Space Saving Packages: SOT-23, SOT-89 and
TO-92.
DESCRIPTION
The AIC1638 is a high efficiency step-up DC/DC
converter for applications using 1 to 4 NiMH
battery cells. Only three external components are
required to deliver a fixed output voltage of 2.7V,
3.0V, 3.1V, 3.3V, 4.5V or 5V. The AIC1638 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 ripple
and noise are lower compared with the circuits
operating in PSM mode.
The PFM control circuit operating in 100KHz
(max.) switching rate results in smaller passive
components. The space saving SOT-23, SOT-89
and TO-92 packages make the AIC1638 an ideal
choice of DC/DC converter for space conscious
applications, like pagers, electronic cameras, and
wireless microphones.
APPLICATIONS
Pagers.
Cameras.
Wireless Microphones.
Pocket Organizers.
Battery Backup Suppliers.
Portable Instruments.
