The LM2760 is a switched-capacitor DC/DC converter that generates a regulated 3.3V output capable of driving a load up to 20mA (VIN 2.5V). The wide input voltage range (2.0V-4.4V) allows this device to be powered from several types of batteries, including single cell lithium-ion, two-cell alkaline, nickel-metal-hydride, and nickel-cadmium. The LM2760 solution does not require an inductor and needs only three small external ceramic capacitors. The miniscule quiescent current of the part, typically 10A unloaded, makes the LM2760 ideal for low-current standby power rails. The LM2760 is a switched-capacitor circuit that is controlled by a gated oscillator. Both a low-input-voltage boost mode and high-input-voltage pass mode are implemented to optimize efficiency over the full input voltage range. Additional features of the LM2760 include thermal protection and current limiting. The LM2760 is available in a small, five-pin SOT-23 package.
