ADP1614
Data Sheet
THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADP1614 current-mode, step-up switching converter
boosts a 2.5 V to 5.5 V input voltage to an output voltage as
high as 20 V. The internal switch allows a high output current,
and the 650 kHz/1.3 MHz switching frequency allows the use of
tiny external components. The switch current is monitored on a
pulse-by-pulse basis to limit the current to the value set by the
RCL resistor on the CLRES pin.
