Step-Up (Boost) Regulators

Analog Devices manufactures a broad line of high performance, step-up boost switching regulator ICs and boost switching controller ICs with both synchronous and nonsynchronous switches. These switching voltage regulators offer typical input voltage capability from less than 2 V up to 100 V+, switching frequencies up to 4 MHz, and high efficiency operation up to 96%. With burst mode operation, quiescent currents in the tens of micro-amps level can be attained. This combination of features allows for very small, low profile boost switching regulator circuit implementations with minimum external components. Many of these products can also be configured as SEPIC regulators or flyback topology switching regulators.
