modulated (PWM) DC-DC step-down converter.
It powers logic circuits in PDAs and small
wireless systems such as cellular phones,
handy-terminals.
800mA Guaranteed Output Current.
Adjustable Output Voltage from 0.75V to VIN
of a range from +2.5V to 6.5V.
Very Low Quiescent Current: 35µA (Typ.).

Synchronous PWM Operation.
The device features an internal synchronous
rectifier for high conversion efficiency. Excellent
noise characteristics and fixed-frequency
operation provide easy post-filtering. The
AIC1550 is ideally suited for Li-ion battery
applications. It is also suitable for +3V or +5V
fixed input applications. The device can operate
in either one of the following four modes.

(3) PWM/PFM Mode extends battery
life by switching to a PFM pulse-
skipping mode under light loads.
(4) Shutdown mode sets device to
standby, reducing supply current
to 0.1µA or under.
The AIC1550 can deliver over 800mA output
current. The output voltage can be adjusted
from 0.75V to VIN ranging from +2.5V to +6.5V.
Other features of the AIC1550 include low
quiescent current, low dropout voltage, and a
0.75V reference of ±2% accuracy. It is available
in a space-saving 8-pin MSOP package.
