AAT1217
600mA, 1.2MHz, Micropower Synchronous Step-Up Converter
General Description
The AAT1217 is a high efficiency, synchronous, fixed
frequency, step-up converter designed for single-cell or
dual-cell alkaline, NiMH, or NiCd battery-powered appli-
cations. The high 1.2MHz switching frequency and com-
pletely integrated control circuitry minimize the total
solution footprint area while maintaining excellent regu-
lation, ripple, and transient response throughout the full
load range.
Light load mode operation and low quiescent current
allow the AAT1217 to maintain high efficiency perfor-
mance for light load conditions. With a 1.2A peak induc-
tor current limit, the AAT1217 is capable of delivering
100mA to the load from a single AA cell, 400mA from
dual AA cells, or up to 500mA from a single-cell lithium-
ion battery. The AAT1217 has a 0.85V start-up voltage
with operation down to 0.5V.
The AAT1217 is available in a Pb-free, space-saving low
profile (1mm) 6-pin TSOT23 or 6-pin SOT23 package
and is rated over the -40°C to +85°C ambient tempera-
ture range.

Function
Power Switch Pin. Ties to the drains of the PMOS synchronous rectifier and the NMOS switch.
Ground Pin
Feedback Input Pin. Connect FB to the center point of the external resistor divider. The feedback threshold
voltage is 1.23V.
Shutdown Signal Input. Logic high enables the IC. Logic low disables the IC. Shutdown current is <1μA.
Power Output Pin. Tied to the source of the PMOS synchronous rectifier.
Power Supply Input. Must be closely decoupled to GND, Pin 2, with a 4.7μF or greater ceramic capacitor.
