ETA1188 
 
10A Input, 9V/3A or 12V/2A Output BOOST Converter with True-Shutoff 
DESCRIPTION 
ETA1188 is a high power, high-efficiency, synchronous 
boost  that  can  output  up  to  27W  of  power.  With 
integrated high power MOSEFTs, it comfortably delivers 
9V/3A output from a wide range of input voltage. It also 
integrates an output short protection MOSEFT on chip to 
provide over current protection and true-shutoff function. 
With  its  tiny  package  of  QFN3x3-20,  it  sports  a  small 
footprint which makes it an ideal all-in-one solution for 
high power boost applications. 
The ETA1188 features a programmable output current 
limit, configurable by a resistor connected from ISET pin 
to GND. Output voltage can also be programmed by a 
resistor divider from VOUT to FB to GND. Furthermore, 
besides  external  configuration,  ETA1188can  also  be 
communicated through an I2C protocol to configure the 
current  limit  and  output  voltage  internally,  making  it 
suitable for Power Delivery or Quick Charge applications. 
The ETA1188 is available in QFN33-20FC package.
