RN5RK SERIES
VFM STEP-UP DC/DC CONVERTER
NO.EA-045-080411
OUTLINE
The RN5RKxx1A/xx1B/xx2A Series are CMOS-based VFM (Chopper) Step-up DC/DC converter ICs with ultra
low supply current and high output voltage accuracy.
Each of the RN5RKxx1A/xx1B consists of an oscillator, a VFM control circuit, a driver transistor to have low
ON resistance (Lx switch), a reference voltage unit, a high speed comparator, resistors for voltage detection, an
Lx switch protection circuit and an internal chip enable circuit. A low ripple, high efficiency step-up DC/DC
converter can be composed of this RN5RKxx1A/xx1B with only three external components: an inductor, a diode
and a capacitor.
The RN5RKxx2A uses the same chip as what is employed in the RN5RKxx1A/1B IC and has a drive pin (EXT)
for an external transistor instead of an Lx pin. As it is possible to load a large output current with a power
transistor which has a low saturation voltage, RN5RKxx2A IC is recommendable to users who need an output
current as large as between several tens mA and several hundreds mA.
Using the chip enable function, it is possible to make the supply current on standby minimized.
Since the package for these ICs is SOT-23-5, high density mounting of the ICs on board is possible.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Absolute Maximum ratings are threshold limit values that must not be exceeded even for an instant under any
conditions. Moreover, such values for any two items must not be reached simultaneously. Operation above
these absolute maximum ratings may cause degradation or permanent damage to the device. These are stress
ratings only and do not necessarily imply functional operation below these limits.
