The AS3682 utilizes austriamicrosystems' patent-pending Intelligent Adaptive Mode Setting (IAMS) to switch between 1:1, 1:1.5, and 1: 2 modes. In combination with very-low-drop-out current sinks, the device achieves high efficiency over the full single-cell Li+ battery voltage range. The charge pump operates at a fixed frequency of 1MHz allowing for tiny external components and its design ensures low EMI and low input-ripple.
