ML4769 Datasheet PDF - Micro Linear Corporation

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ML4769 is a continuous conduction boost regulator designed for DC to DC conversion in multiple cell battery power systems. Continuous conduction allows the regulator to maximize output current for a given inductor. The maximum switching frequency can exceed 200kHz, allowing the use of small, low cost inductors. The ML4769 is capable of start-up with input voltages as low as 1.8V. The output voltage can be set anywhere between 3.0V and 5.5V by an external resistor divider connected to the SENSE pin.

FEATURES
■ Guaranteed full load start-up and operation at 1.8V input
■ Continuous conduction mode for high output current
■ Pulse Frequency Modulation and internal synchronous rectification for high efficiency
■ Isolates the load from the input during shutdown
■ Minimum external components
■ Low ON resistance internal switching FETs
■ Low supply current
■ Adjustable output voltage (3V to 5.5V)
