I am working on a hand-held device prototype that runs off 6v DC. I would like to use 2 AA batteries to supply power (2.4 volts - NiMH). I found the R1210N Converter Controller - Ricoh Company claims that this controller will function as a step-up converter with an inductor, a diode, a capacitor, and a transistor as external components. My desired step up is within the operating boundaries of the controller.
I assume that once I purchase an R1210N controller, I will need to purchase the external components and connect them to the chip on a PC board. I could not find any drawings on how these components are connected.
Has anyone used a DC-DC converter in a similar fashion in the past? Do you have any tips or advice for me? :?
