PHONE The start up is guaranteed at 1V and the device is op- PAGERS erating down to 0.6V. GPS Internal synchronous rectifier is implemented with a 120m P-channel MOSFET and, in order to improve DIGITAL CAMERAS the efficiency, a variable frequency control is imple- mented. Figure 1.

Pin Description Pin Name Function 1FB Output voltage selector. Connect FB to GND for Vout=5V or to OUT for Vout=3.3V. Connect FB to an external resistor divider for adjustable output voltage (from 2V to 5.2V) see R4 and R5, fig. 7 . 2 LBI Battery low voltage detector input. The internal threshold is set to 1.23V. A resistor divider is needed to adjust the desired low battery threshold: R1 V = 1.23V 1 + -------- see R1 and R2, fig. 7 LBI R2 3 Battery low voltage detector output. If the voltage at the LBI pin drops below the internal LBO threshold typ. 1.23V, LBO goes low. The LBO is an open drain output and so a pull-up resistor (about 200K ) has to be added for correct output setting see R3, fig. 7 . 4 REF 1.23V reference voltage. Bypass this output to GND with a 100nF capacitor for filtering high frequency noise. No capacitor is required for stability 5 Shutdown pin. When pin 5 is below 0.2V the device is in shutdown, when pin 5 is above 0.6V the SHDN device is operating. 6 GND Ground pin 7 LX Step-up inductor connection 8 OUT Power OUTPUT pin Figure 2.
