MIC2145
High Efficiency 2.5W Boost Converter
General Description
The MIC2145 is a small size boost switching regulator that
can provide over 2.5W of output power. The input voltage
range is between 2.4V to 16V, making the device suitable for
one-cell Li-Ion and 3- to 4-cell alkaline/NiCad/NiMH applica-
tions. The output voltage of the MIC2145 can be adjusted up
to 16V.
The MIC2145 is well suited for portable, space-sensitive
applications. Its typical 450kHz operation allows small sur-
face mount external components to be used. The MIC2145
has a low quiescent current of 200µA, and a typical shutdown
current of 0.5µA. The MIC2145 is capable of high efficiencies
in a small board area.
The MIC2145 features a low-on resistance internal switch
that allows it to provide over 2.5W of output power. The peak
switch current can be programmed through an external
resistor. This allows the user to set the peak switch current at
the level where maximum efficiency occurs. It also allows the
user to further optimize for efficiency and inductor size by
setting the peak current below the level of inductor saturation.
The MIC2145 is available in an MSOP-8 and 3mm×3mm
MLF™-10L package with an ambient operating temperature
range from –40°C to +85°C.

Exceeding the absolute maximum rating may damage the device.
The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating rating.
Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended. Human body model, 1.5KΩ in series with 100pF.
The current is measured in a DC mode. Actual peak switching current will be higher due to internal propagation delay of the circuit.
