ZXSC100
SINGLE CELL DC-DC CONVERTER SOLUTION
Description
The ZXSC100 series is designed for DC-DC applications where step-up voltage conversion from very low input voltages is required. These applications mainly operate from single nickel cadmium or nickel metal hydride battery cells.
The circuit can start up under full load with regulation maintained down to an input voltage of only 0.926 volts. The solution configuration ensures optimum efficiency over a wide range of load currents. Several circuit configurations are possible with loads up to 2W. The step up output voltage is easily programmed with external resistors. With its nonsynchronous architecture an output voltage down to the input voltage level can be achieved. For best performance the ZXSC100 quiescent current is a small 150μA ensuring minimum battery drain in no load conditions.
The IC and discrete combination offers the ultimate cost vs. performance solution for sing.
