1 General Description
The AS1322A and the AS1322B are synchronous, fixed frequency,
very high-efficiency DC-DC boost converters capable of supplying
3.3V at 150mA from a single AA-supply. Compact size and minimum
external parts requirements make these devices perfect for modern
portable devices.
High-speed switching frequency (1.2MHz) and internally
compensated PWM current mode design provide highly-reliable DC-
DC conversion, especially when driving white LEDs.
The converters are available as the standard products listed in
Table
1.

Delivers 160mA @ 3.3V (from Single AA Cell)
Delivers 220mA @ 5.0V (from Two AA Cells)
Delivers 570mA @ 3.3V (from Two AA Cells)
Low Start-Up Voltage: 0.85V
High-Speed Fixed-Frequency: 1.2MHz
Internal PMOS Synchronous Rectifier
Automatic Powersave Operation (AS1322A)
Continuous Switching at Light Loads (AS1322B)
Anti-Ringing Control Minimizes EMI
Logic Controlled Shutdown (< 1µA)
Output Range: 2.5 to 5.0V
6-pin TSOT-23 Package
The devices contain two internal MOSFET switches: one NMOS
switch and one PMOS synchronous rectifier.
Anti-ringing control circuitry reduces EMI by damping the inductor in
discontinuous mode, and the devices exhibit extremely low
quiescent current (< 1µA) in shutdown.
In shutdown mode the battery is connected to the output and V
OUT
is held at approximately V
IN
- 0.6V.
The AS1322 is available in a 6-pin TSOT-23 package.
3 Applications
The AS1322 is ideal for low-power applications where ultra-small
size is critical as in medical diagnostic equipment, hand-held
instruments, pagers, digital cameras, remote wireless transmitters,
MP3 players, LCD bias supplies, cordless phones, GPS receivers,
and PC cards.

Description
Switch Pin.
Connect an inductor between this pin and V
IN
. Keep the PCB trace lengths as
short and wide as is practical to reduce EMI and voltage overshoot. If the inductor current
falls to zero, or pin SHDNN is low, an internal 100Ω anti-ringing switch is connected from this
pin to V
IN
to minimize EMI.
Note:
An optional Schottky diode can be connected between this pin and V
OUT
.
Signal and Power Ground.
Provide a short, direct PCB path between this pin and the
negative side of the output capacitor(s).
Feedback Pin.
Feedback input to the g
m
error amplifier. Connect a resistor divider tap to this
pin. The output voltage can be adjusted from 2.5 to 5V by: V
OUT
= 1.23V[1 + (R
1
/R
2
)]
Shutdown Pin.
Logic controlled shutdown input.
1 = Normal operation, 1.2MHz typical operating frequency.
0 = Shutdown; quiescent current <1µA. If SHDNN is undefined, pin SW may ring.
Note:
In a typical application, SHDNN should be connected to V
IN
through a 1MΩ pull-up
resistor.
Output Voltage Sense Input and Drain of the Internal PMOS Synchronous Rectifier.
Bias is derived from V
OUT
when V
OUT
exceeds V
IN
. PCB trace length from V
OUT
to the
output filter capacitor(s) should be as short and wide as is practical. V
OUT
is held at
approximately V
IN
- 0.6V during shutdown.
Input Voltage.
The AS1322 gets its start-up bias from V
IN
unless V
OUT
exceeds V
IN
, in
which case the bias is derived from V
OUT
. Thus, once started, operation is completely
independent from V
IN
. Operation is only limited by the output power level and the internal
series resistance of the supply.
