DESCRIPTION
The AIC1555 is a low-noise pulse-width-
modulated (PWM) DC-DC step-down converter.
It powers logic circuits in PDAs and small
wireless systems such as cellular phones,
handy-terminals.
The device features an internal synchronous
rectifier for high conversion efficiency. Excellent

AIC1555 is ideally suited for Li-ion battery
applications. It is also suitable for +3V or +5V
fixed input applications. The device can operate
in either one of the following four modes.
(1)
Forced PWM mode
operates at a fixed
frequency regardless of the load.
(2)
Synchronizable PWM mode
allows the

harmonics.
(3)
PWM/PFM Mode
extends battery life by
switching to a PFM pulse-skipping mode
under light loads.
(4)
Shutdown mode
sets device to standby,
reducing supply current to 0.1µA or under.
The AIC1555 can deliver over 700mA output
current. The output voltage can be adjusted
from 0.75V to VIN ranging from +2.5V to +6.5V.
Other features of the AIC1555 include low
quiescent current, low dropout voltage, and a
0.75V reference of ±2.5% accuracy. It is
