Pin Configurations
VFM Step-Up DC/DC Converter
Ordering Information
General Description
The RT9261B Series are VFM Step-up DC/DC converter
ICs with ultra low supply current by CMOS process and
suitable for use with battery-powered instruments.
The RT9261B IC con sists of a n oscillator , a VFM control
circuit, a driver transistor (LX switch), a reference voltage
unit, an error a mplifier , resistors for voltage detection, and
a LX switch protection circuit. A low ripple and high efficiency
step-up DC/DC converter can be constructed with the
RT9261B IC a nd only three external components.
The EN pin enables the circuit to set the standby supply
current at a maximum of 0.5μA.
