The MCP1640 is a high-efficiency, fixed frequency, synchronous step-up DC DC converter designed to provides an easy-to-use power supply solution for applications powered by batteries ( NiCd, NiMH, one-cell Li-Ion or Li-Polymer ) .
The MCP1640 is designed with low-voltage technology that allows the regulator to start up without high inrush current or output voltage overshoot from a low 0.65V input. In stand by applications, the MCP1640 operates and consumes only 19 μA .
MCP1640 has a high efficiency up to 96% offering features like overheating protection , low noise and many other .
The MCP1640 can provide the following output current :
- IOUT > 100 mA @ 1.2V VIN, 3.3V VOUT
- IOUT > 350 mA @ 2.4V VIN, 3.3V VOUT
- IOUT > 350 mA @ 3.3V VIN, 5.0V VOUT
The output voltage provided by the circuit can be adjusted between 2 and 5.5 volts requiring a maximum input voltage £ VOUT < 5.5V .
As you can see in these two applications circuit diagrams the ic can be easy configured for alkaline or lithium ion batteries using few external components and almost the same components value and configuration .
This DC converter can be used for powering portable devices like : personal medical products , wireless sensors ,handheld instruments , GPS receivers , bluetooth headsets , etc.
The LT3032 integrated circuit is a dual, low noise, positive and negative low dropout voltage linear regulator capable to deliver up to 150mA with a typical 300mV dropout voltage.
LT3032 regulator has a low quiescent current (30μA operating and <3μA in shutdown) and well-controlled in dropout .
The output voltage from the LT3032 can be adjusted down to 1.22V and up to 20V . Also the LT3032 voltage regulator has a low dropout voltage of 300mV/Channel . As you can see in this schematic diagram the LT3032 require few additional external components to work .
The ZL2106 is an innovative power conversion and management IC that combines an integrated synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with key power management functions .
