The CAT661 is a charge-pump voltage converter. Only two external capacitors are needed. Lower EMI is achieved due to the absence of an inductor. In addition, the CAT661 can double a voltage supplied from a battery or power supply. Inputs from 2.5V to 5.5V will yield a doubled, 5V to 11V output. A Frequency Control pin (BOOST/FC) is provided to select either a high (typically 135kHz) or low (25kHz) internal oscillator frequency, thus allowing quiescent current vs. capacitor size trade-offs to be made.
