Description

The MCP1252/3 are inductorless, positive-regulated charge pump DC/DC converters. The devices generate a regulated fixed (3.3V or 5.0V) or adjustable output voltage. They are specifically designed for applications requiring low noise and high efficiency and are able to deliver up to 120 mA output current. The devices allow the input voltage to be lower or higher than the output voltage, by automatically switching between buck/boost operation.
