Analog Devices ADP1621 Constant-Frequency Current-Mode Step-Up DC-to-DC Controller Data Sheet
The ADP1621 is a fixed-frequency, pulse-width modulation (PWM), current-mode, step-up converter controller designed to drive an external n-channel MOSFET. It eliminates the need for a current-sense power resistor by measuring voltage drops across the MOSFET's on-resistance, supporting switch-node voltages up to 30 V in lossless mode. The device features a supply input range of 2.9 V to 5.5 V and can operate with power inputs as low as 1.0 V.

From: Analog Devices ADP1621 Constant Frequency Current Mode Boost DC/DC Controller Datasheet
What is the input voltage range of the ADP1621?
The device operates from 2.9 V up to 5.5 V, and can accept as low as 1 V for special low‑power applications.
How is the switching frequency set?
A resistor connected to the FREQ pin sets the free‑running frequency between 100 kHz and 1.5 MHz, and the frequency can be synchronized to an external clock via the SDSN pin.
