MIC2141
Micropower Boost Converter
General Description
Features
The MIC2141 is a micropower boost switching regulator
•
Implements low-power boost, SEPIC, or flyback
that can operate from 3- or 4-cell nickel-metal-hydride
•
2.2V to 14V input voltage
batteries or a single Li-ion cell. This regulator employs a
•
330kHz switching frequency
constant 330kHz, fixed 18% duty-cycle, gated-oscillator
•
<2µA shutdown current
architecture.
•
70µA quiescent current
The MIC2141 can be used in applications where the
•
1.24V bandgap reference
output voltage must be dynamically adjusted. The device
features a control signal input which is used to
•
Typical output current 1mA to 10mA
proportionally adjust the output voltage. The control signal
•
SOT23-5 package
input has a gain of 6, allowing a 0.8V to 3.6V control signal
to vary a 4.8V to 22V output.
Applications
The MIC2141 requires only three external components to
operate and is available in a tiny 5-pin SOT-23 package for
•
LCD bias supply
space and power-sensitive portable applications. The
•
CCD digital camera supply
MIC2141 draws only 70µA of quiescent current and can
operate with an efficiency exceeding 85%.

Pin Function
Input: +2.5V to +14V supply for internal circuity.
Ground: Return for internal circuitry and internal MOSFET (switch) source.
Switch Node (Input): Internal MOSFET drain; 22V maximum.
Feedback (Input): Output voltage sense node. Compared to VC control input
voltage.
Control (Input): Output voltage control signal input. Input voltage of 0.8V to3.6V
is proportional to 4.8V to 22V output voltage (gain of 6). If the pin is not
connected, the output voltage will be V
IN
– 0.5V.
