GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ACT6305 is a high efficiency synchronous
step-up DC/DC converter that consumes just 17µA
of quiescent supply current and is capable of deliv-
ering more than 400mA output current using only
three external components. This device achieves a
typical startup voltage of just 1V, making it ideal for
applications operating from 1 or 2 alkaline cells.
This device incorporates an internal synchronous
rectifier, and achieves excellent peak efficiency of
up to 94% and features a proprietary control
scheme that ensures high efficiency over a wide
load current range.
The ACT6305 features pin-selectable output volt-
ages of 3.3V or 5V, or it can also be set externally
to any voltage between 2V and 5V. The ACT6305 is
available in a tiny SOT23-5 package.
