OUTLINE

The RH5RI××1B/××2B/××3B Series are VFM (Chopper) Step-up DC/DC converter ICs with ultra low supply

current by CMOS process. The RH5RI××1B IC consists of an oscillator, a VFM control circuit, a driver transistor (Lx switch), a reference voltage unit, an error amplifier, resistors for voltage detection, and an Lx switch protection circuit.  A low ripple, high efficiency step-up DC/DC converter can be constructed of this RH5RI××1B IC with only three external components, that is, an inductor, a diode and a capacitor.
