GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AMS34063 series is a control circuit containing the basic functions required for DC-to-DC converters. The device consists
of an internal temperature compensated reference, a comparator, a controlled duty cycle oscillator with an active current limit
circuit, a driver and a high current output switch. Designed specifically to be incorporated in Step-Up, Step-Down and Voltage
-Inverting applications, the AMS34063 requires a minimum number of external components.
The AMS34063 is available in the 8-lead plastic SOIC and 8-lead plastic DIP packages.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. For guaranteed performance limits and associated test
conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics tables.
Note 2: To minimize power dissipation, low duty cycle pulse testing is used.
Note 3: Power dissipation at TA = 25°C is equal to 1.0W for the 8 lead P DIP package and 625mW for the SO-8 package. For operation at temperatures above
TA = 25°C derate the power dissipation at 10mW/°C.
