The L6920 is a high efficiency step-up controller requiring only three external components to realize the
conversion from the battery voltage to the selected
output voltage.
The start up is guaranteed at 1V and the dev ice is operating down to 0.6V.
Internal synchronous rectifier is implemented with a
120m
Ω
P-channel MOSFET and, in order to i mpr ove
the efficiency, a variable frequency control is implemented.

PIN DESCRIPTION
PinNameFunction
1FB
Output voltage selector. Connect FB to GND for Vout=5V or to OUT for Vout=3.3V. Connect FB to an
external resistor divider for adjustable output voltage (from 2V to 5.2V) [see R4 and R5, fig. 7].
2LBIBattery low voltage detector input. The internal threshold is set to 1.23V.
A resistor divider is needed to adjust the desired low battery threshold:
