MCHPMCP1663T-E/MNY
Overview
The MCP1663 is a high-voltage, fixed-frequency, peak current mode step-up DC-DC converter designed to deliver up to 32V from low-voltage input sources. It operates with an input voltage range of 2.4V to 5.5V, making it ideal for applications powered by Li-Ion, Li-Polymer, or multi-cell alkaline batteries. The device integrates a 1.8A low-side switch and features internal compensation to reduce external component count.
Why Choose This Part
The MCP1663 offers a high level of integration with features like soft start, inrush current limiting, and overvoltage protection in a compact 2x3 mm TDFN package. Its high switching frequency allows for the use of small surface-mount inductors and capacitors, while the 0.3uA shutdown current significantly extends battery life in portable applications.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To evaluate the MCP1663, engineers can use the MCP1663 IC Evaluation Board (ADM00554) which demonstrates a typical boost application. Design requires a standard calculation of the feedback resistor divider to set the output voltage between 2.4V and 32V, and selecting an inductor capable of handling the 1.8A peak switch current.
