GENERAL DESCRIPTION
An integrated synchronous rectifier eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode and provides a lower forward voltage drop, resulting in higher conversion efficiency. In addition, low quiescent battery current and variable frequency operation result in high efficiency even at light loads. The ML4861 requires only one inductor and two capacitors to build a very small regulator circuit capable of achieving conversion efficiencies in excess of 90%. The circuit also contains a RESET output which goes low when the IC can no longer function due to low input voltage, or when the DETECT input drops below 200mV. FEATURES
