The AP16 0 6 is a compact, high efficiency, and low voltage step-upDC/DC converter with anAdaptive Current Mode PWM control loop, includes an error amplifier, ramp generator, comparator, switch pass element and driver in which providing a stable and high efficient operation over a wide range of load currents. It operates in stable waveforms without external compensation. The low start-up input voltage below 1V makes AP1606 suitable for 1 to 4 battery cells applications of providing up to 300mA output current. The 450kHz high switching rateminimized the size of external components. Besides, the 17mA low quiescent current together with high efficiency maintains long battery lifetime. The output voltage is set with two external resistors. Both internal 2A switch and driver for driving external power devices (NMOS or NPN) are provided.
