GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The TC1240 is a doubling CMOS charge-pump voltage converter in a small 6-Pin SOT-23A package. TC1240 doubles an input voltage which can range from +2.5V to +4.0V. Conversion efficiency is typically >99. Internal oscillator frequency is 160kHz for the TC1240. The TC1240 has an active high shutdown which limits the current consumption of the device to less than 1µA.
