A minimum of external components is needed. Included is an accurate current limit which uses only 60mV sense voltage and uses “free” PC board trace material for the sense resistor. Logic controlled electronic shutdown mode draws only 15µA battery current. The switching regulator operates down to 4.5V input. In normal switching mode, the standby power loss is about 30mW, limiting efficiency at light loads. In Burst Mode operation, standby loss is reduced to approximately 11mW. Output current in this mode is typically in the 5mA to 100mA range.
