The FP6722 is a high efficiency hysteretic current mode topology synchronous boost DC/DC converter which could operate from single/dual-cell NiCd, NiMH or alkaline battery such as input voltage below 0.75V. The converter output voltage can be adjusted from 1.8V to a maximum of 5.5V by an external resistor divider. Besides the converter includes a 0.5Ω N-channel MOSFET switch and 0.7Ω P-channel synchronous rectifier. So no external Schottky diode is required and could get better efficiency near 94%.
The FP6722 is available in a space-saving SOT-23-6 package for portable application.
