Description
The MCP1252/3 are inductorless, positive-regulated
charge pump DC/DC converters. The devices generate
a regulated fixed (3.3V or 5.0V) or adjustable output
voltage. They are specifically designed for applications
requiring low noise and high efficiency and are able to
deliver up to 120 mA output current. The devices allow
the input voltage to be lower or higher than the output
voltage, by automatically switching between buck/
boost operation.
The MCP1252 has a switching frequency of 650 kHz,
avoiding interference with sensitive IF bands. The
MCP1253 has a switching frequency of 1 MHz and
allows the use of smaller capacitors than the
MCP1252, thus saving board space and cost.
Both devices feature a power-good output that can be
used to detect out-of-regulation conditions. Extremely
low supply current and low external parts count (three
capacitors) make these devices ideal for small, battery-
powered applications. A shutdown mode is also pro-
vided for further power reduction. The MCP1252 and
MCP1253 feature thermal and short-circuit protection
and are offered in space-saving, 8-lead, MSOP
packages.
