General Description
The AS1329A, AS1329B and the AS1329C are synchronous, fixed frequency, very high-efficiency DC-DC boost converters capable of supplying 3.3V at 160mA from a single AA-supply. Compact size and minimum external parts requirements make these devices perfect for modern portable devices.
High-speed switching frequency (1.2MHz) and internally compensated PWM current mode design provide highly reliable DC-DC conversion, especially when driving white LEDs.
