Mouser Electronics Stocking AnalogicTech's Step-Up Converter
AAT1217 Step-up Converter Shrinks Handheld Devices by Delivering 500mA Load Current in TSOT23 Package
Mansfield, Texas, USA-December 5, 2007 - Mouser Electronics, Inc., known for its rapid introduction of the newest products, today announced it is stocking the AAT1217 step-up converter from Advanced Analogic Technologies, Inc. (AnalogicTech) (NASDAQ: AATI), a leading supplier of power management semiconductors for mobile consumer electronics.
"Mouser's engineering customers have come to expect us to rapidly stock and market the newest products from our world-class supplier lineup," said Mike Scott, Mouser's Vice President of Active Products. "AnalogicTech's new step-up converter allows our customers to drive substantial loads in their newest space-sensitive portable applications."
The AAT1217 synchronous step-up converter offers designers extremely high output current in a compact package. Designed to support a wide range of handheld portable applications, the converter delivers up to 100mA output from a single-cell alkaline battery input, up to 400mA from a dual-cell alkaline battery input, and up to 500mA from a single-cell Lithium-Ion battery input, while supporting startup as low as 0.85V.
The device operates from a wide input voltage range of 0.5V to VOUT. Using a slope-compensated current mode pulse width modulation (PWM) control topology, the AAT1217 operates at a 1.2MHz constant switching frequency allowing the use of small surface mount inductors. An integrated synchronous rectifier eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode.
The step-up converter features embedded anti-ringing control circuitry minimizing EMI by removing the high frequency ringing that appears on the SW pin when inductor current goes to zero. The device also features over-current protection and a low shutdown current of <1.0 µA.
Mouser's broad-based product line, unsurpassed customer service, and streamlined warehouse operations make the distributor the design engineer's one-stop shop for all the components and associated development tools necessary for total project design.
