Preliminary
RT9261/A
VFM Step-up DC/DC Converter
General Description
Features
The RT9261 Series are VFM Step-up DC/DC ICs
with ultra low supply current by CMOS process and
suitable for use with battery-powered instruments.
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
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-up DC/DC
converter can be constructed of this RT9261 IC with
only three external components.
z Low Ripple and Low Noise
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-25 Small Packages
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
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. CE pin enables circuit to set the
standby supply current at a maximum of 0.5µA.
z Power source for applications, which require
higher voltage than that of batteries used in the
appliances
