Descriptionspan id="lblDescription">
The AAT1218 is a general purpose DC/DC synchronous boost (step-up) converter providing a tightly regulated DC output voltage for continuous output currents up to 1A (minimum). Operating input voltage must be less than the output voltage and in the 0.5V to 5.5V range, making the device well suited to portable equipment and consumer appliances.
The boost output voltage is programmed from 2.5V to 5.5V with an external resistor divider. Optimized internal compensation provides fast transient response with no external components.
Synchronous rectification eliminates the need for an external rectifier for output voltage less than 4.5V. Low on-resistance internal switches provide efficiency up to 95%, which minimizes losses and simplifies packaging and circuit board layout. An inductor, two resistors and two ceramic output capacitors are all that are required to implement a DC/DC boost solution.
The switching frequency is internally set to 1.2MHz to minimize external filter size and optimize switching losses.
Integrated soft-start ensures minimal inrush current. The nti-ring?circuit reduces stray EMI during light load, discontinuous operation. Input quiescent current is less than 400A at no load. The device provides cycle-by-cycle current limit and over-temperature protection to prevent device over-stress.
The AAT1218 is available in a Pb-free, 12-pin low profile TDFN33 package or a 12-pin TSOPJW package; both packages are rated from -40C to 85C.
