AS1312
Ultra Low Quie scent Current , Hy stereti c D C-DC Step-Up Conver ter
1 General Description
The AS1312 is an ultra low I
Q
hysteretic step-up DC-DC converter.
The AS1312 achieves an efficiency of up to 94% and is designed to
operate from a +0.7V to +5.0V supply, the output voltage is fixed in
50mV steps from +2.5V to 5.0V.
In order to save power the AS1312 features a shutdown mode,
where it draws less than 100nA. In shutdown mode the battery is not
connected to the output.
If the input voltage exceeds the output voltage the device is in a
feedthrough mode and the input is directly connected to the output
voltage.
In light load operation, the device enters a sleep mode when most of
the internal operating blocks are turned off in order to save power.
This mode is active approximately 50µs after a current pulse
provided that the output is in regulation.
The AS1312 also offers an adjustable low battery detection. If the
battery voltage decreases below a threshold defined by two external
resistors on pin LBI, the LBO output is pulled to logic low. LBO is
working as Power-OK when LBI is connected to GND.
The AS1312 is available in a 8-pin (2x2) TDFN and a 0.4mm pitch 8-
pin WL-CSP package.
