RT9276
Synchronous Boost Converter with Voltage Detector
General Description
The RT9276 is a synchronous boost converter, which is
based on a fixed frequency Pulse-Width-Modulation
(PWM) controller using a synchronous rectifier to obtain
maximum efficiency. The converter provides a power
supply solution for products powered by a variety of
batteries such as single cell, dual cell alkaline, NiMH and
NiCd battery. At light load currents, the converter enters
power save mode to maintain a high efficiency over a wide
load current range.
The output voltage can be programmed by an external
resistor divider, or fixed at a certain voltage. Moreover, the
converter can be disabled to minimize battery drain. During
shutdown, the load is completely disconnected from the
battery. The maximum peak current in the boost switch
is limited to 2A for current limit.
For the RT9276, a low-EMI mode is implemented to reduce
ringing of the inductor phase pin when the converter enters
discontinuous conduction mode. Moreover, a voltage
detector is built-in in the chip for low battery detection.
