MCP1642BT-50I/MS is a high-efficiency, synchronous DC-DC boost converter manufactured by Microchip Technology. It is specifically designed to step up the input voltage to a higher regulated output voltage. This component is commonly used in various battery-operated applications where a higher voltage is required.
The MCP1642BT-50I/MS offers an enhanced power efficiency of up to 96%, making it suitable for low-power systems with limited energy resources. It operates from a wide input voltage range of 0.35V to 5.5V and can provide a regulated output voltage up to 5.5V. This flexibility makes it compatible with a variety of power sources, such as single-cell batteries or low-voltage power supplies.
One of the key features of this IC component is its compact size and low external parts count, which simplifies the overall system design and reduces the board space required. The MCP1642BT-50I/MS incorporates an integrated synchronous rectifier, eliminating the need for an external Schottky diode. This feature further improves the system efficiency and reduces power losses.
Another notable feature of the MCP1642BT-50I/MS is its ability to deliver up to 250mA of current, which allows powering a wide range of small devices. The device also includes built-in short-circuit protection and thermal shutdown to protect against system failures and damage
