General Description:
The MCP1623/24 is a compact, high-efficiency, fixed
frequency, synchronous step-up DC-DC converter. It
provides an easy-to-use power supply solution for PIC
microcontroller applications powered by either one-cell,
two-cell, or three-cell alkaline, NiCd, NiMH, one-cell
Li-Ion or Li-Polymer batteries.
Low-voltage technology allows the regulator to start-up
without high inrush current or output voltage overshoot
from a low 0.65V input. High efficiency is accomplished by
integrating the low resistance N-Channel Boost switch
and synchronous P-Channel switch. All compensation
and protection circuitry are integrated to minimize external
components. For standby applications, the MCP1624
operates and consumes only 19 µA while operating at no
load. The MCP1623 device option is available that
operates in PWM-only mode.
A “true” Load Disconnect mode provides input to output
isolation while disabled (EN = GND) by removing the
normal boost regulator diode path from input to output.
This mode consumes less than 1 µA of input current.
Output voltage is set by a small external resistor
divider.
