AIC1650

AIC1650 3-Cell, High-Efficiency, Inverting DC/DC Converter FEATURES 4V to 20V Input Voltage Operation. Adjustable Output Voltage up to -40V. Low Quiescent Current at 100µA. Pulse Frequency Modulation Maintains High Efficiency (max. 90%). 100KHz to 320KHz Switching Frequency. Power-Saving Shutdown Mode (8µA Typical). High Efficiency with Low Cost External PNP Bipolar Transistor. DESCRIPTION The AIC1650 is a high performance inverting DC/DC converter, designed to drive an external power switch to generate programmable negative voltages. In the particularly suitable LCD bias contrast application, maximum efficiency of 90% can be achieved with low cost PNP bipolar transistor drivers. 4V to 20V input operation range allows the AIC1650 to be powered directly by the battery pack in most batteryoperated applications for greater efficiency. Output voltage can be scaled to -40V or greater by two external resistors. A pulse frequency modulation scheme is employed to maintain high efficiency conversion under wide input voltage range. Quiescent current is about 100µA and can be reduced to 8µA in shutdown mode. Switching frequency being around 100KHz to 320KHz range, small size switching components are ideal for battery powered portable equipments, like notebook and palmtop computers.
