BL8542B REV1.2, DEC 2010
0.85V startup, 1MHz, 300mA Iout, Synchronous Boost Converter
DESCRIPTION
The BL8542B is a step-up converter that provides a boosted output voltage from a low voltage source. Because of its proprietary design, it starts up at a very low input voltage down to 850mV, making it an ideal choice for single cell alkaline/NiMH battery operations.
A switching frequency of 1MHz minimizes solution footprint by allowing the use of tiny, low profile inductors and ceramic capacitors. The current mode PWM design is internally compensated, reducing external parts count.
BL8542B is housed in a tiny SOT23-5 and SOT89-3 Package.
