GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The SS6639 is a high efficiency step-up DC/DC controller for applications using 1 to 4 battery cells. Only three external components are required to deliver a fixed output voltage of 2.7, 3.0V, 3.3V, or 5V. The SS6639 starts up from less than 0.9V input with a 1mA load. The Pulse Frequency Modulation scheme offers optimized performance for applications with light output loading and low input voltages. The output ripple and noise are lower than with circuits operating in PSM mode.
