General Description
The AAT1210 is a high power DC/DC boost (step-up)
converter with an input voltage range from 2.7 to
5.5V. The output voltage can be set from V
IN
+ 0.5V
to 18V. The total solution is less than 1mm in height.
High operating efficiency makes the AAT1210 the
ideal solution for battery powered and consumer
applications.
The step-up converter operates at frequencies up to
2MHz, enabling ultra-small external filtering compo-
nents. Hysteretic current mode control provides
excellent transient response with no external com-
pensation, achieving stability across a wide operating
range with minimal design effort.
The AAT1210 true load disconnect feature extends
battery life by isolating the load from the power
source when the EN/SET pin is pulled low, ensuring
zero volts output during the disable state. This fea-
ture eliminates the external boost converter leakage
path and achieves standby quiescient current <1μA
without an external switching device.
A fixed output voltage is set using two external resis-
tors. Alternatively, the output may be adjusted dynami-
cally across a 2.0x range. The output can toggle
between two preset voltages using the SEL logic pin.
Optionally, the output can be dynamically set to any
one of 16 programmed levels using AnalogicTech's
patented Simple Serial Control (S
2
Cwire) interface.
The AAT1210 is available in a Pb-free, thermally-
enhanced 16-pin 3x4mm TDFN low-profile package
and is rated over the -40°C to +85°C temperature
range.
