MIC23099
Single AA/AAA Cell Step-Up/Step-Down
Regulators with Battery Monitoring
General Description
Features
The MIC23099 is a high-efficiency, low-noise, dual-output,
integrated power-management solution for single-cell
alkaline or NiMH battery applications. The synchronous
boost output voltage (VOUT1) is enabled first and is
powered from the battery. Next the synchronous buck
output (VOUT2), which is powered from the boost output
voltage, is enabled. This configuration allows VOUT2 to be
independent of battery voltage, thereby allowing the buck
output voltage to be higher or lower than the battery
voltage.
• VIN range from 0.85V to 1.6V
• VOUT1 (step-up) adjustable from 1.8V to 3.3V
• VOUT2 (step-down) adjustable from 1.0V to VOUT2
• VOUT1/400mW and VOUT2/30mA from a single cell
• Minimizes switching noise in the audio band
• Step-up regulator with output disconnect in shutdown
• VOUT1, above 90% efficiency for 5mA to 200mA
• Anti-ringing control circuit to minimize EMI
• Turn-on inrush current limiting and soft-start
• Automatic output discharge
To minimize switching artifacts in the audio band, both the
converters are design to operate with a minimum switching
frequency of 80kHz for the buck and 100kHz for the boost.
The high current boost has a maximum switching
frequency of 1MHz, minimizing the solution footprint.
• Low-battery indicator
• Power Good (PG) output
• Low output ripple < 10mV
The MIC23099 incorporates both battery-management
functions and fault protection. The low-battery level is
indicated by an external LED connected to the LED pin. In
addition, a supervisory circuit monitors each output and
asserts a power-good (PG) signal when the sequencing is
done or de-asserted when a fault condition occurs.
• Short-circuit and thermal protection
• 14-pin 2.5mm × 2.5mm × 0.55mm thin QFN (TQFN)
package
• −40°C to +125°C junction temperature range
