DESCRIPTION
The AIC1553 is a step-down, current mode,
DC/DC converter. It operates from 2.5V to 5.5V
input voltage range and switches at 500KHz,
allowing the use of tiny, low cost capacitors and
inductors. The output voltage is adjustable from
0.75V to 5V. A built-in 0.6
switch allows up to
0.5A of output current at high efficiency.
The AIC1553 operates continuously to very low
load currents to provide low ripple at the
expense of light load efficiency. With no load,
the AIC1553 draws only 22
A. In shutdown
mode, it draws less than 1
A, making it ideal for
current sensitive applications.
The tiny 5-lead SOT-23 package makes it
easy to save the layout area.
