DESCRIPTION The AIC1610/AIC1611 are high efficiency step up DC-DC converters. The start-up volt-age is as low as 0.8V with operating voltage down to 0.7V. Simply consuming 20μA of qui-escent current. These devices offer a built-in synchronous rectifier that reduces size and cost by eliminating the need for an external Schottky diode and improves overall effi-ciency by minimizing losses.
The switching frequency can range up to 500KHz depending on the load and input volt-age. The output voltage can be easily set by two external resistors from 1.8V to 5.5V, connecting FB to OUT to get 3.3V, or con-necting to GND to get 5.0V. The peak current of the internal switch is fixed at 1.0A (AIC1610) or 0.65A (AIC1611) for design flexibility.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS(Continued)
Note 1: Specifications are production tested at T A=25°C. Specifications over the -40°C to 85°C operating tem-perature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation with Statistical Quality Controls (SQC).
Note 2: Start-up voltage operation is guaranteed without the addition of an external Schottky diode between the input and output.
Note 3: Steady-state output current indicates that the device maintains output voltage regulation under load.
Note 4:Device is bootstrapped (power to the IC comes from OUT). This correlates directly with the actual bat-tery supply.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
AIC1610/AIC1611 series are high efficiency, step-up DC-DC converters, designed to feature a built-in synchronous rectifier, which reduces size and cost by eliminating the need for an external Schottky di-ode. The start-up voltage of AIC1610/AIC1611 is as low as 0.8V and it operates with an input voltage down to 0.7V. Quiescent supply current is only 20μA. The internal P-MOSFET on-resistance is typically 0.3? to improve overall efficiency by minimizing AC losses. The output voltage can be easily set by two external resistors from 1.8V to 5.5V, connecting FB to OUT to get 3.3V, or connecting to GND to get 5.0V. The peak current of the internal switch is fixed at 1.0A (AIC1610) or 0.65A (AIC1611) for design flexibility. The current limit of AIC1610 and AIC1611 are 1.0A and 0.65A respectively. The lower current limit allows the use of a physica

The key feature of the AIC1610 series is a unique minimum-off-time, constant-on-time, current-limited, pulse-frequency-modulation (PFM) control scheme (see BLOCK DIAGRAM) with the ultra-low quies-cent current. The peak current of the internal N-MOSFET power switch can be fixed at 1.0A (AIC1610) or 0.65A (AIC1611). The switch frequency depends on either loading condition or input voltage, and can range up to 500KHz.

Synchronous Rectification
Using the internal synchronous rectifier eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode. Therefore, the cost and board space are reduced. During the cycle of off-time, P-MOSFET turns on and shunts N-MOSFET. Due to the low turn-on resistance of MOSFET, synchronous rectifier significantly im-proves efficiency w

Shutdown
The whole circuit is shutdown when SHDN V is low. At shutdown mode, the current can flow from battery to output due to body diode of the P-MOSFET. V OUT falls to approximately Vin-0.6V and LX remains high impedance. The capacitance and load at OUT de-termine the rate at which V OUT decays. Shutdown can be pulled as high as 6V. Regardless of the volt-. Vout can be calculated om 1.8V to is 240K ?.

Selecting the Output Voltage
V OUT can be simply set to 3.3V/5.0V by connecting
FB pin to OUT/GND due to the use of internal resis-tor divider in the IC (Fig.32 and Fig.33). In order to adjust output voltage, a resistor divider is connected to V OUT , FB, GND (Fig.34)by the following equation:
R5=R6 [(V OUT / V REF )-1].....................................(1) Where V REF =1.23V and V OUT ranging fr 5.5V. The recommended R6Low-Battery Detection
AIC1610 series contains an on-chip comparator with 50mV internal hysteresis (REF, REF+50mV) for low battery detection. If the voltage at LBI falls below the internal reference voltage. L put) sinks current to GND.
Component Selection Inductor Selection
An inductor value of 22μH performs well in most applications. The AIC1610 series also work with inductors in the 10μH to 47μH range. An induc-tor with higher peak inductor current tends a higher output voltage ripple (I PEAK output filter capacitor ESR). The inductor’s DC resistance significantly affects efficiency. We can calculate the maximum output current as follows:

Capacitor Selection
The output ripple voltage relates with the peak inductor current and the output capacitor ESR. Besides output ripple voltage, the output ripple current also needs to be concerned. A filter ca-pacitor with low ESR is helpful to the efficiency and steady state output current of AIC1610 se-ries. Therefore NIPPON tantalum capacitor MCM series with 100μF/6V is recommended. A smaller capacitor (down to 47 F with h ESR) is acceptable for light loads tions that can tolerate higher output ripple. PCB Layout and Grounding
Since AIC1610’s switching frequency can range up to 500kHz, it makes AIC1610 become very sensitive. So careful printed circuit layout is im-portant for minimizing ground bounce and noise. IC’s OUT pin should be as clear as possible. And the GND pin should be placed close to the ground plane. Keep the IC’s GND pin and the ground leads of the input and output filter ca-pacitors less than 0.2in (5mm) apart. In addition, keep all connection to the FB and LX pins as short as possible. In particular, when using ex-ternal feedback resistors, locate them as close to the FB as possible. To maximize output pow-er and efficiency and minimize output ripple voltage, use a ground plane and solder
GND directly to the ground plane. Fig. 35 to 37 Two or three parallel output capacitors can sig-ge of
