Boost converter with synchronous rectification in SOT-23-5
The Texas Instruments TPS613226ADBVR is a fixed-output (3.6V) step-up boost converter that integrates a 1.6A switch with synchronous rectification. It accepts an input from 0.9V up to 5.5V, making it suitable for single-cell alkaline, NiMH, or Li-ion battery-powered designs that need a regulated 3.6V rail. The switching frequency is programmable between 500kHz and 2MHz via an external resistor, letting you trade off inductor size against efficiency.
The wide input range also handles cold-crank dips down to 0.9V.
It is ROHS3 compliant and remains a current-production line item.
