Description

Renesas' SLG7RN47748 DC/DC Boost & Buzzer Driver reference design highlights the versatility of HVPAK™ mixed-signal ICs by integrating a boost converter and piezo buzzer driver into one compact solution. It boosts a 3V coin cell to ~9.5V and drives a 1kHz buzzer for short alerts. Designed for efficiency, it draws ~8.5mA active and <50nA in sleep mode, featuring soft-start to limit inrush current and undervoltage protection for reliability. With its small footprint, low power, and robust performance, this design is ideal for battery-powered notification devices.

Features

  • Integrated DC/DC boost converter and piezo buzzer driver in a single IC
  • Boosts 3V to ~9.5V from a CR2032 coin cell battery
  • Drives 1kHz piezo buzzer for short alert patterns
  • Soft-start mechanism to reduce inrush current
  • Undervoltage protection: Shuts down below ~2.5V, resumes above 2.7V

The DC/DC Boost Converter & Buzzer Driver reference design provides a small, low-power component for commonly used mixed-signal and H-Bridge functions. In this reference design, high-voltage pins enable the design of smart level translators or provide the ability to drive the high-voltage high-current load. These design files include the schematic, BOM, and Gerber artwork, essential tools for enabling complete evaluation of the IC and reference design functions.
