Preliminary
RT9261/A
VFM Step-Up DC/DC Converter
General Description
Features
z Minimal Number of External Components ( Only
an Inductor, a Diode, and a Capacitor)
z Ultra Low Input Current ( 5μA at Switch Off)
z ± 2% High Output Voltage Accuracy
z Low Ripple and Low Noise
The RT9261 Series are VFM Step-upDC/DC ICs with ultra
low supply current by CMOS process and suitable for
use with battery-powered instruments.
The RT9261 IC consists of an oscillator, a VFM control
circuit, a driver transistor (LX switch), a reference voltage
unit, an error amplifier, resistors for voltage detection, and
a LX switch protection circuit. A low ripple and high
efficiency step-upDC/DC converter can be constructed of
this RT9261 IC with only three external components.
z Low Start-up Voltage, 0.85V at 1mA
z 75% Efficiency with Low Cost Inductor
z +50 ppm/ °C Low Temperature-Drift
z SOT-89 and SOT-23-5 Small Packages
z RoHS Compliant and 100% Lead (Pb)-Free
The RT9261A IC provides with a drive pin (EXT) for an
external transistor, so that a power transistor can be
externally applied. Therefore, the RT9261A IC is
recommended for applications where large currents are
required. ENpin enables circuit to set the standby supply
current at a maximum of 0.5μA.
Applications
z Power source for battery-powered equipment
z Power source for cameras, camcorders, VCRs, PDAs,
pagers, electronic data banks, and hand-held
communication equipment
z Power source for applications, which require higher
voltage than that of batteries used in the appliances
