1 General Description
The AS1330 is a synchronous, low voltage, high efficiency DC-DC
boost converter running at a constant frequency of 4MHz. This very
high oscillator frequency allows the usage of a very a small and low
profile inductor with only 470nH. This results in a board space
requirement of only 43mm² for the complete solutions including all
external components.
AS1330 generates an output voltage between 1.8 and 3.3V from
input voltages down to 0.6V. Therefore it is ideal for application
powered by a single cell battery. AS1330 provides an output current
of 150mA @ 3.3V from a single cell.
To support high efficiency across the entire load range
the AS1330 is equipped with a synchronous rectifier and
features a power save mode for light loads.
To avoid harmful deep discharge of the battery during shutdown the
AS1330 is equipped with an output disconnect function.
AS1330 can either monitor the battery voltage (Sense pin) or report
the status of the output voltage (POK).
The AS1330 is available in a TDFN (2x2mm) 8-pin package.

Description
Sense Input.
Represents the input for the Power-OK behavior. This input can be used to supervise
the input or the output voltage via a resistor divider. If connected to GND the POK output is related to
V
OUT
.
Feedback Pin.
Feedback input to the g
m
error amplifier. Connect a resistor divider tap to this pin. The
output voltage can be adjusted from 1.8 to 3.3V by: V
OUT
= 0.8V[1 + (R
1
/R
2
)]
If the fixed output voltage version is used, connect this pin to VOUT.
Active-High Enable Input.
A logic LOW reduces the supply current to < 1 A.
Connect to pin VIN for normal operation.
Power-OK Output.
Active-High, open-drain output indicates an out-of-regulation condition. Connect
a 100kΩ pull-up resistor to pin OUT for logic levels. Leave this pin unconnected if the Power-OK
feature is not used.
Low Level: V
OUT
is out of Regulation
High Level: V
OUT
is within Regulation
Signal and Power Ground.
Provide a short, direct PCB path between this pin and the negative side
of the output capacitor(s).
Switch Pin.
Connect an inductor between this pin and V
IN
. Keep the PCB trace lengths as short and
wide as is practical to reduce EMI and voltage overshoot. If the inductor current falls to zero, or pin
EN is low, an internal 100Ω anti-ringing switch is connected from this pin to V
IN
to minimize EMI.
Note:
An optional Schottky diode can be connected between this pin and V
OUT
.
Output Voltage.
Bias is derived from V
OUT
when V
OUT
exceeds V
IN
. PCB trace length from V
OUT
to the output filter capacitor(s) should be as short and wide as is practical.
Input Voltage.
The AS1330 gets its start-up bias from V
IN
unless V
OUT
exceeds V
IN
, in which case
the bias is derived from V
OUT
. Thus, once started, operation is completely independent from V
IN
.
Operation is only limited by the output power level and the internal series resistance of the supply.
Exposed Pad.
The exposed pad must be connected to GND. Ensure a good connection to the PCB
to achieve optimal thermal performance.

5 Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses beyond those listed in
Table 2
may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of
the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in
Section 6 Electrical Characteristics on page 4
is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
