General Description
The AME5172 is a high-efficiency, current mode, syn-
chronous PWM Boost DC-DC Converter with fixed 3.3V
output voltage for system applications powered by single
or double cell NiMH or Alkaline battery pack.
Built-in 0.35Ω NMOS switch and 0.45Ω PMOS syn-
chronous rectification significantly improves efficiency and
reduces external components count. High switching fre-
quency (at 1.2MHz) allows easy filtering and faster loop
performance.
AME5172 uses SOT-25 package that gives a small size
solution.

Pin Description
Input Supply Pin.
Place bypass capacitor as close to V
IN
as possible.
Ground connection Pin.
Enable Control Input Pin. (Active High)
Power Output Pin.
PCB layout from output capacitor should be as short and wide as
possible..
This is the switch pin and is connected to the drain of the internal NMOS
power switch. Minimize the metal trace area connected to this pin to
minimize EMI.
