500mA, 1.2MHz HIGH EFFICIENCY
SYNCHRONOUS STEP-UP DC-DC CONVERTER
The A7525 is synchronous, fixed frequency,
step-up DC/DC converters delivering high
efficiency in a 6-lead SOT package. Capable of
supplying 3.3V at 100mA from a single AA cell
input, the device contain an internal NMOS switch
and PMOS synchronous rectifier. A switching
frequency of 1.2MHz minimizes solution footprint
by allowing the use of tiny, low profile inductors
and ceramic capacitors. The current mode PWM
design is internally compensated, reducing
external parts count.
The A7525 features continuous switching at light
loads. Anti-ringing control circuitry reduces EMI
concerns by damping the inductor in discontinuous
mode, and the device features low shutdown
current of under 1uA.
The A7525 is available in SOT-26 package.
