MD3156 - 1.1V 300mA Synchronous Boost Converter
The MD3156 is a step-up converter that provides a boosted output voltage from a low voltage source.
Because of its proprietary design, it starts up at a very low input voltage down to 1.1V, and only consumes 15uA at standby, making it an ideal choice for single cell alkaline/NiMH battery operations.
MD3156 Features
* Efficiency up to 95%@Vin=2.7V, VOUT=3.3V
* Typical 15uA standby current
* 1MHz Switching Frequency allows small inductor and output cap
* Input boost-strapping allows using small or no input cap
* Low Vin Start-up Voltage down to 1.1V Ideal for Single Alkaline Cell operations
