AS1337
200mA, DC-DC Step-Up Converter with Buck Mode
1 General Description
2 Key Features
ꢀ Input Voltage Range: 0.65V to 4.5V
The AS1337 is a synchronous, fixed frequency,
highefficiency DC-DC boost converter capable of
supplying 3.3V @ 200mA from two AA Cells. Com-
pact size and minimum external parts require-
ments make these devices perfect for modern
portable devices. The AS1337 offers automatic
powersave mode to increase efficiency at light
loads. For input voltages higher than VOUT the
AS1337 will switch in a step down mode, so that a
Buck Boost function is realized.
ꢀ Low Start-Up Voltage: 0.85V
ꢀ Output Voltage Range: 2.5V to 5.0V
ꢀ Delivers 200mA @ 3.3V (from two AA Cell)
ꢀ up to 97% Efficiency
ꢀ High-Speed Fixed-Frequency: 1.2MHz
ꢀ Single-Cell Operation
ꢀ Internal PMOS Synchronous Rectifier
ꢀ Automatic Powersave Operation
ꢀ Anti-Ringing Control Minimizes EMI
ꢀ Logic Controlled Shutdown (< 1µA)
ꢀ TDFN (3x3mm) 8-pin Package
The AS1337A offers a shutdown mode where the
battery is connected directly to the output enabling
the supply of real-time-clocks or memories.
In the shutdown mode of the AS1337B the battery
is disconnected and the output is discharged.

3 Applications
AS1337B
The AS1337 is ideal for low-power applications
where ultra-small size is critical as in medical diag-
nostic equipment, hand-held instruments, pagers,
digital cameras, remote wireless transmitters, MP3
players, LCD bias supplies, cordless phones, GPS
receivers, and PC cards.
The AS1337 offers a POK (open-drain) feature
which detects output power fail of 10%.
The AS1337 is available in a TDFN (3x3mm) 8-pin
package.
