Product Introduction

The MCP16251/2 is a compact, high-efficiency, fixed frequency, synchronous step-up DC-DC converter. This family of devices provides an easy-to-use power supply solution for 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-voltage 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. MCP16251/2 operates and consumes less than 14 μA from battery after start-up, while operating at no load (V_OUT = 3.3V, V_IN = 1.5V). The devices provide a true disconnect from input to output (MCP16251) or an input-to-output bypass (MCP16252), while in shutdown (EN = GND). Both shutdown options consume less than 0.6 μA from battery.

Output voltage is set by a small external resistor divider. Two package options, SOT-23, 6-lead and TDFN, 2×3×0.8 mm, 8-lead are available.
