The AN8016NSH is a single-channel PWM DC-DC converter control IC that supports low-voltage operation. This IC allows a stepped-up voltage output to be provided with a minimal number of external components. It features a low minimum operating voltage of 1.8 V, and due to being provided in a 10-pin surface mount package with a 0.5 mm lead pitch, is optimal for use in miniature high-efficiency power supplies for portable equipment.
