The SGM66099 is a synchronous step-up converter with 0.65μA ultra low quiescent current. It is designed for products powered by alkaline battery, NiMH rechargeable battery, Li-Mn battery or rechargeable Li-Ion battery, for which high efficiency under light load condition is critical to achieve long battery life operation.

The SGM66099 step-up converter only consumes 0.65μA quiescent current under light load condition and can achieve up to 75% efficiency at 10μA load with fixed output voltage version. It can also support up to 300mA output current from 3.3V to 5V conversion, and achieve up to 93% efficiency at 200mA load.

The SGM66099 also offers both down mode and pass-through operation for different applications. In down mode, the output voltage can still be regulated at target value even when input voltage is higher than output voltage. In pass-through mode, the output voltage follows input voltage. The SGM66099 exits down mode and enters into pass-through mode when VIN > VOUT + 0.3V.

The SGM66099 supports true shutdown function when it is disabled, which disconnects the load from the input supply to reduce the current consumption.
