ML4761* Adjustable Output Low Voltage Boost Regulator
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ML4761 is a boost regulator designed for DC to DC conversion in 1 to 3 cell battery powered systems. The combination of BiCMOS process technology, internal synchronous rectification, variable frequency operation, and low supply current make the ML4761 ideal for 1 cell applications. The ML4761 is capable of start-up with input voltages as low as 1V, and the output voltage can be set anywhere between 2.5V and 6V by an external resistor divider connected to the SENSE pin. An integrated synchronous rectifier eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode and provides a lower forward voltage drop, resulting in higher conversion efficiency.
