Microchip Technology

The MCP1256, MCP1257, MCP1258 and MCP1259 are inductorless, positive regulated charge pump DC/DC converters. Generating a regulated 3.3 V output voltage from a 1.8 V to 3.6 V input, they are specifically designed for applications operating from 2 cell alkaline, 2 cell Ni-Cd, 2 cell Ni-MH, or one primary lithium coin cell battery. These devices automatically switch from 1.5x to 2x boost operation modes to maintain high efficiency. In addition, at light output loads, the MCP1256 and MCP1257 can be placed in a sleep mode, lowering the quiescent current while maintaining the regulated output voltage. Alternatively, the MCP1258 and MCP1259 provide a bypass feature connecting the input voltage to the output. This allows for real-time clocks, microcontrollers or other system devices to remain biased with virtually no current being consumed by the MCP1258 or MPC1259. In normal operation, the charge pumps switch at a fixed 650 kHz, avoiding sensitive IF bands, and the output voltage ripple is below 20 mVP-P at load currents up to 100 mA. The MCP1256 and MCP1258 feature a power-good output that can be used to detect out-of-regulation conditions. The MCP1257 and MCP1259 feature a low battery indication that issues a warning if the input voltage drops below a preset voltage threshold. Extremely low supply current and few external parts (4 capacitors) make these devices ideal for small, battery powered applications. A shutdown mode is also provided for further power reduction. The devices incorporate thermal and short-circuit protection.

The MCP130 is a voltage supervisory device designed to keep a microcontroller in reset until the system voltage has reached the proper level and stabilized. It also operates as protection from brown-out conditions when the supply voltage drops below a safe operating level. MCP130 features an open drain output with internal 5K ohm internal pull-up resistor. MCP130 has active low reset and is available in a choice of seven different trip voltages. It operates over the extended industrial temperature range (-40°C/+85°C). MCP130 is available in a TO-92, SOT23-3, and SN packages.

The MCP131 Series, of CMOS voltage supervisors, are well suited for portable and consumer electrics applications due to the extremely low 1uA operating current and small surface-mount packaging. These devices are designed to hold the microcontroller in reset until the supply voltage reaches a predetermined operating level. These devices also protect against brownout conditions that occur as a result of the supply voltage dropping below a tolerable level.
