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.

                                                       SOT-89-5 (RH5RI××3B)

APPLICATIONS
• Power source for battery-powered equipment.
• Power source for cameras, camcorders, VCRs,  PDAs, electronic data banks,and hand-held communication
equipment.
• Power source for appliances which require higher cell voltage than that of batteries used in the appliances.
