General Description
The PC2097 device is a synchronous boost converter with ultra-low quiescent current. The device is designed for
products powered by an alkaline battery, lithium battery or rechargeable Li-lon battery, for which high efficiency
under light load condition is critical to achieve long battery life operation.
The PC2097x offers different fixed output voltage versions. Hysteric control topology has been employed to
obtain maximal efficiency at minimal quiescent current. PC2097 can achieve up to 80% efficiency at 100uA
load. It can also support up to 300mA output current from 3.3V to 5V conversion, and achieve up to 93% at
200mA load.
The PC2097(x) supplies both Down Mode and Pass-Through operations for different applications. In Down
Mode, the output voltage can still be regulated at target value even when input voltage is higher than output
voltage. In Pass-Through Mode, the output voltage follows input voltage.
The PC2097(x) exits Down Mode and enters into Pass-Through Mode when VIN>VOUT+0.35 V. The PC2097
supports true shutdown function when it is disabled, which disconnects the load from the input supply to reduce
the current consumption.
