DESCRIPTION
The
SS6610/SS6611
are high-efficiency step-up
DC/DC converters,
with a
start-up voltage
as low
as 0.8V,
and an
operating voltage down to
0.7V.
Consuming only
20µA of quiescent
current,
these
devices
include
a built-in synchronous
rec-
tifier that reduces size and cost
by eliminating
the need for an external Schottky
diode, and
improves overall efficiency by
minimizing
losses.
The switching frequency can range up to
500KHz depending on the load and input volt-
age. The output voltage can be easily set; by
two external resistors
or
1.8V to 5.5V; con-
necting FB to OUT to get 3.3V; or connecting
to GND to get 5.0V. The peak current of the
internal switch is fixed at 1.0A (SS6610) or
0.65A
(SS6611)
for design flexibility.
APPLICATIONS
Palmtop & Notebook Computers.
PDAs
Wireless Phones
Pocket Organizers.
Digital Cameras.
Hand-Held Devices with 1 to 3 Cells of
NiMH/NiCd Batteries.

Note 1:
Start-up voltage operation is guaranteed without the addition of an external Schottky diode between the
input and output.
Note 2:
Steady-state output current indicates that the device maintains output voltage regulation under load.
Note 3:
Device is bootstrapped (power to the IC comes from OUT). This correlates directly with the actual
battery supply.
