The MCP1640/B/C/D is a compact, high-efficiency,
fixed frequency, synchronous step-up DC-DC converter. It provides an easy-to-use power supply solution
for applications powered by either single-cell, two-cell,
or three-cell alkaline, NiCd, NiMH, and single-cell Li-Ion
or Li-Polymer batteries.
Low-voltage technology allows the regulator to start-up
without high inrush current or output voltage overshoot
from a low 0.65V input. High efficiency is accomplished
by integrating the low resistance N-Channel Boost
switch and synchronous P-Channel switch. All
compensation and protection circuitry is integrated to
minimize the number of external components. For
standby applications, the MCP1640 consumes only
19 µA while operating at no load, and provides a true
disconnect from input to output while in Shutdown
(EN = GND). Additional device options are available by
operating in PWM-Only mode and connecting input to
output while the device is in Shutdown.
The “true” load disconnect mode provides input-to-output isolation while the device is disabled by removing
the normal boost regulator diode path from input-tooutput. The Input-to-Output Bypass mode option connects the input to the output using the integrated low
resistance P-Channel MOSFET, which provides a low
bias voltage for circuits operating in Deep Sleep mode.
Both options consume less than 1 µA of input current.
Output voltage is set by a small external resistor
divider. Two package options are available, 6-Lead
SOT-23 and 8-Lead 2 x 3 mm DFN.

by using a resistor divider. Feedback voltage will be
1.21V typical with the output voltage in regulation.

Signal Ground Pin (SGND)
The signal ground pin is used as a return for the
integrated VREF and error amplifier. In the 2x3 DFN
package, the SGND and power ground (PGND) pins are
connected externally.
3.3
Power Ground Pin (PGND)
The power ground pin is used as a return for the
