1 General Description
The AS1337 is a synchronous, fixed frequency, highefficiency
DC-DC boost converter capable of supplying 3.3V @ 200mA
from two AA Cells. Compact size and minimum external parts
requirements make these devices perfect for modern portable
devices. The AS1337 offers automatic powersave mode to
increase efficiency at light loads. For input voltages higher
than VOUT the AS1337 will switch in a step down mode, so
that a Buck Boost function is realized.
The AS1337A offers a shutdown mode where the battery is
connected directly to the output enabling the supply of real-
time-clocks or memories.
2 Key Features
Input Voltage Range: 0.65V to 4.5V
Output Voltage Range: 2.5V to 5.0V
Delivers 200mA @ 3.3V (from two AA Cell)
up to 97% Efficiency
High-Speed Fixed-Frequency: 1.2MHz
Single-Cell Operation
In the shutdown mode of the AS1337B the battery is discon-
nected and the output is discharged.

The AS1337 offers a POK (open-drain) feature which detects
output power fail of 10%.
The AS1337 is available in a
TDFN (3x3mm) 8-pin
package
.

3 Applications
The AS1337 is ideal for low-power applications where ultra-
small size is critical as in medical diagnostic equipment, hand-
held instruments, pagers, digital cameras, remote wireless
transmitters, MP3 players, LCD bias supplies, cordless
phones, GPS receivers, and PC cards.

Description
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.
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
.
Power Ground.
Provide a short, direct PCB path between this pin and the output capacitor(s).
Ground
Enable Pin.
Logic controlled enable input.
1 = Normal operation
0 = Shutdown
Note:
In a typical application, EN should be connected to V
IN
through a 1MΩ
pull-up resistor.
POK.
High when V
OUT
is within regulation.
Input Voltage.
The AS1337 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.
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 2.5V to 5V by: V
OUT
= 1.23V[1 + (R

5 Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses beyond those listed in
Table 3
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.
