3 Description
The REG710 family of devices are switched capacitor
voltage converters that generate regulated, low-ripple output voltage from an unregulated input voltage. A
wide input supply voltage from 1.8 V to 5.5 V makes
the REG710 family of devices ideal for a variety of
battery sources, such as single-cell Li-Ion, or 2-cell
and 3-cell nickel-based or alkaline-based chemistries.
The input voltage may vary above and below the
output voltage and the output remains in regulation. The device works as step-up or step-down converters
without the need of an inductor, providing low EMI
DC-DC conversion. The high switching frequency
allows the use of small surface-mount capacitors, saving board space and reducing cost. The REG710
device is thermally protected and current limited, protecting the load and the regulator during fault
conditions. Typical ground pin current (quiescent
current) is 65 μA with no load, and less than 1 μA in shutdown mode.
