LOW VOLTAGE STEP-UP

DC-DC CONVERTER

FEATURES

DESCRIPTION

The SC1631 is a high efficiency step up DC-DC

converter. Only four external components are required

to deliver a fixed voltage of 3V, 3.3V, or 5V. Efficiency

beyond 87% can be easily achieved at 100mA load

with 2.2V to 3V input voltages.

A logic-controlled shutdown mode is provided for

power saving. Switch current limit can be programmed

with a resistor. The low battery detector can be

configured as a linear regulator or a burst mode

controller providing extremely low supply current

operation.

A switching rate of 120kHz reduces the inductor size -

inductors of 25µH to 50µH are recommended for most

applications.
