VFM Step-up DC/DC Converter
General Description
The RT9261 Series are VFM Step-up DC/DC ICs
with ultra low supply current by CMOS process and
suitable for use with battery-powered instruments.
The RT9261 IC consists of an oscillator, a VFM
control circuit, a driver transistor (LX switch), a
reference voltage unit, an error amplifier, resistors for
voltage detection, and a LX switch protection circuit.
A low ripple and high efficiency step-up DC/DC
converter can be constructed of this RT9261 IC with
only three external components.
The RT9261A IC provides with a drive pin (EXT) for
an external transistor, so that a power transistor can
be externally applied. Therefore, the RT9261A IC is
recommended for applications where large currents
are required. CE pin enables circuit to set the
standby supply current at a maximum of 0.5
μ
A.
