AP1603
STEP-UP DC-DC CONVERTER
Description
The AP1603 is a high efficiency step-up DC-DC converter for
applications using as few as a single NiMH or Li-Ion battery cells.
Only four external components are required to deliver a fixed output
voltage of 3.3V. The AP1603 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 150kHz (max.) switching rate
results in smaller passive components. The space saving SOT26
packages make the AP1603 an ideal choice of DC-DC converter for
space conscious applications, like pagers, electronic cameras, and
wireless microphones.
