the fp6722 is a high efficiency hysteretic current mode topology synchronous boost dc/dc converter which could operate from single/dual-cell nicd, nimh or alkaline battery such as input voltage below 0.75v. the converter output voltage can be adjusted from 1.8v to a maximum of 5.5v by an external resistor divider. besides the converter includes a 0.5ω n-channel mosfet switch and 0.7ω p-channel synchronous rectifier. so no external schottky diode is required and could get better efficiency near 94%.
the fp6722 is available in a space-saving sot-23-6 package for portable application.
