AS1322
Low Volt age, Micropower, DC-DC Step-Up Conv e r ter s
1 General Description
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.
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.
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.
In shutdown mode the battery is connected to the output and V
OUT
is held at approximately V
IN
- 0.6V.
The AS1322 is available in a 6-pin TSOT-23 package.

3 Applications
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.
