MIC2570
Two-Cell Switching Regulator
General Description
Micrel’s MIC2570 is a micropower boost switching regulator
that operates from two alkaline, two nickel-metal-hydride
cells, or one lithium cell.
The MIC2570 accepts a positive input voltage between 1.3V
and 15V. Its typical no-load supply current is 130µA.
The MIC2570 is available in selectable fixed output or ad-
justable output versions. The MIC2570-1 can be configured
for 2.85V, 3.3V, or 5V by connecting one of three separate
feedback pins to the output. The MIC2570-2 can be config-
ured for an output voltage ranging between its input voltage
and 36V, using an external resistor network.
The MIC2570 has a fixed switching frequency of 20kHz. An
external SYNC connection allows the switching frequency to
be synchronized to an external signal.
The MIC2570 requires only four components (diode, inductor,
input capacitor and output capacitor) to implement a boost
regulator. A complete regulator can be constructed in a 0.6
in
2
area.
All versions are available in an 8-lead SOIC with an operating
range from –40°C to +85°.
