Compact Synchronous Boost Converter for Battery Applications

User experience is essential to battery-charged applications, particularly the balance between a long battery life and optimized device performance. The key factor to overcoming this challenge is reducing the quiescent current or the shutdown current. Shutdown current is measured when the integrated circuit (IC) is turned off and disabled. Quiescent current is the current consumed by the IC when it is enabled but there is no load, and the device is not switching. Quiescent current is essential for applications that need to continue to run in sleep mode. MPS’s MP28600 is an ultra-low quiescent current, synchronous boost converter ideal for battery applications.

Features include:

• 0.7V to 5.25V start-up voltage
• 2.5V to 5.25V output voltage
• Quiescent current as low as 600nA
• Supports 1A switching current limit with at least 86% efficiency at light loads
• Compact SOT563 package
