General Description
The MCP1640/B/C/D is a compact, high-efficiency,
fixed frequency, synchronous step-up DC-DC con-
verter. It provides an easy-to-use power supply solution
for applications powered by either single-cell, two-cell,
or three-cell alkaline, NiCd, NiMH, and single-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 is integrated to
minimize the number of external components. For
standby applications, the MCP1640 consumes only
19 µA while operating at no load, and provides a true
disconnect from input to output while in Shutdown
(EN = GND). Additional device options are available by
operating in PWM-Only mode and connecting input to
output while the device is in Shutdown.
The “true” load disconnect mode provides input-to-out-
put isolation while the device is disabled by removing
the normal boost regulator diode path from input-to-
output. The Input-to-Output Bypass mode option con-
nects the input to the output using the integrated low
resistance P-Channel MOSFET, which provides a low
bias voltage for circuits operating in Deep Sleep mode.
Both options consume less than 1 µA of input current.
Output voltage is set by a small external resistor
divider. Two package options are available, 6-Lead
SOT-23 and 8-Lead 2 x 3 mm DFN.
