CR-F33T
PFM STEP-UP
DC/DC CONVERTER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The
CR-F33T
is a PFM step-up DC/DC
converter IC and has a high efficiency.
These devices consist of a bandgap, a
comparator, an oscillator, a driver, and a
high current output switch.
The CR-F33T provides a higher fixed
voltage from the smaller input voltage.
The CR-F33T is used for single- or
dual-cell battery operation.

OPERATION OF STEP-UP CONVERTER
A step-up converter diagram is illustrated below. In the diagram, the converter can
generate a fixed, higher voltage from a lower one. When SW stays ON, I
L1
flows
through L, and the converter converts the electric energy into the magnetic one and
stores it in L, in which I
max
is proportional to t
on
; when SW lies OFF, Shottky diode is
forced to be ON, while the energy stored in inductor L be discharged into capacitor,
thereby charging the output voltage to a value expected.
