- DESCRIPTION
- The AIC2341 is a 1.0A output, low-noise, pulse-width-modulated (PWM) buck-boost DC-DC converter that operates from input voltage above, below, or equal to the output voltage.
The device features two internal synchronous rectifiers for high efficiency; it requires no external Schottky diode. Internally fixed-frequency 2.5MHz operation provides easy post-filtering and allows the use of small inductors and capacitors. At low load currents the converter enters the Power Saving Mode to maintain a high efficiency over a wide load range. The Power Saving Mode could be disabled, forcing AIC2341 to operate at PWM mode. The AIC2341 is ideally suited for single Li-Ion battery applications. It is also useful for three-cell alkaline, NiMH, or NiCd applica-tions. Shutdown mode places the device in standby, reducing quiescent supply current to under 1uA.
Other features of the AIC2341 include internal soft-start, internal compensation, short circuit protection, current limit, and over temperature protection. The device is packaged in a DFN-10 (3x3) package.
