DESCRIPTION
The AIC1642 is a high efficiency step-up DC/DC
converter for applications using 1 to 4 NiMH bat-
tery cells. Only three external components are re-
quired to deliver a fixed output voltage of 2.2V,
2.7V, 2.8V, 3.0V, 3.1V, 3.3V, 3.7V, 4.5V or 5V.
The AIC1642 starts up from less than 0.9V input
with 1mA load. Pulse Frequency Modulation
scheme brings optimized performance for applica-
tions with light output loading and low input volt-
ages. The output ripple and noise are lower com-
pared with the circuits operating in PSM mode.
APPLICATIONS
Pagers.
Cameras.
Wireless Microphones.
Pocket Organizers.
Battery Backup Suppliers.
Portable Instruments.
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 AIC1642 an
ideal choice of DC/DC converter for space con-
scious applications, like pagers, electronic cam-
eras, and wireless microphones.
