95% Efficiency
The AS1322A and the AS1322B are synchronous, fixed frequency,
very high-efficiency DC-DC boost converters capable of supplying
3.3V at 150mA from a single AA-supply. Compact size and minimum
external parts requirements make these devices perfect for modern
portable devices.
Single-Cell Operation
Delivers 160mA @ 3.3V (from Single AA Cell)
Delivers 220mA @ 5.0V (from Two AA Cells)
Delivers 570mA @ 3.3V (from Two AA Cells)
Low Start-Up Voltage: 0.85V
High-speed switching frequency (1.2MHz) and internally
compensated PWM current mode design provide highly-reliable DC-
DC conversion, especially when driving white LEDs.
The converters are available as the standard products listed in Table
1.
High-Speed Fixed-Frequency: 1.2MHz
Internal PMOS Synchronous Rectifier
Automatic Powersave Operation (AS1322A)
Continuous Switching at Light Loads (AS1322B)
Anti-Ringing Control Minimizes EMI
Logic Controlled Shutdown (< 1µA)
Output Range: 2.5 to 5.0V

AS1322B
The devices contain two internal MOSFET switches: one NMOS
switch and one PMOS synchronous rectifier.
Anti-ringing control circuitry reduces EMI by damping the inductor in
discontinuous mode, and the devices exhibit extremely low
quiescent current (< 1µA) in shutdown.
6-pin TSOT-23 Package
In shutdown mode the battery is connected to the output and VOUT
is held at approximately VIN - 0.6V.
3 Applications
The AS1322 is available in a 6-pin TSOT-23 package.
The AS1322 is ideal for low-power applications where ultra-small
size is critical as in medical diagnostic equipment, hand-held
instruments, pagers, digital cameras, remote wireless transmitters,
MP3 players, LCD bias supplies, cordless phones, GPS receivers,
and PC cards.
