Boosts Input Voltage With Inductorless Switching Regulator
Under Category : Regulator, SwitchingFigure 1. Substituting the diode-capacitor network shown for an inductor allows this switching-regulator IC to deliver 2mA at comparable line and load regulation, with somewhat reduced efficiency. Figure 2. Introducing a MOS driver (IC2) enables the Figure 1 circuit to deliver as much as 20mA. In conventional applications, switching-regulator ICs regulate VOUT by controlling the [...]
