•
The AAT1218 is a general purpose DC/DC synchronous
boost (step-up) converter providing a tightly regulated
DC output voltage for continuous output currents up to
1A (minimum). The maximum peak current in the boost
switch is limited to a value of 2A (minimum). Operating
input voltage must be less than the output voltage and
in the 0.5V to 5.5V range, making the device well suited
to portable equipment and consumer appliances.
2.5V to 5.5V Adjustable Output Voltage
0.5V Minimum Input Voltage
±2% Output Accuracy
No Schottky Diode Required (VOUT < 4.5V)
Up to 95% Efficiency
400μA Standby Current
<1μA Shutdown Current
Integrated Soft-Start Circuitry Limits Inrush Current
Constant Frequency 1.2MHz Operation
The boost output voltage is programmed from 2.5V to
5.5V with an external resistor divider. Optimized internal
compensation provides fast transient response with no
external components.
Inductor Height <1.8mm
Small Ceramic Capacitors

Synchronous rectification eliminates the need for an
external rectifier for output voltage less than 4.5V. Low
on-resistance internal switches provide efficiency up to
95%, which minimizes losses and simplifies packaging
and circuit board layout. An inductor, two resistors and
two ceramic output capacitors are all that are required to
implement a DC/DC boost solution.

Over-Temperature Protection
The switching frequency is internally set to 1.2MHz to
minimize external filter size and optimize switching
losses.
Adjustable and Fixed Output Versions Available
Delivers 1A to 5V Output from a Single Cell Li+
Battery

Integrated soft-start ensures minimal inrush current.
The “anti-ring” circuit reduces stray EMI during light
load, discontinuous operation. Input quiescient current is
less than 400μA at no load.

The device provides cycle-by-cycle current limit and over-
temperature protection to prevent device over-stress.
The AAT1218 is available in a Pb-free, 12-pin low profile
TDFN33 package with rating from -40°C to 85°C.
