Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, one-cell Li-Ion or Li-Polymer batteries. The MCP1642B/D devices operate in Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM), at a fixed 1 MHz switching frequency, featuring Internal Compensation, Overtemperature Protection and Power Good Open-Drain Output.
On the MCP1642B/D Two-Cells to USB Power Evaluation Board, the output voltage has the value of 5.0V (the fixed value MCP1642B/D-50 device is used), resulting in a simple and compact application. The footprints for RT and RB (resistor divider connected to the FB pin) are not populated and will only be used if MCP1642B/D-ADJ, the adjustable option, will be tested.
The device can be disabled using the EN switch. The true disconnect option, MCP1642B/D, removes the normal boost topology path from input to output.

Ultimate Lithium batteries are an alternative power solution that provides superior performance high drains and allows designers to utilize the full power range of the MCP1642B/D without sacrificing size or runtime. Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries utilize a primary cell chemistry that contains higher energy than alkaline batteries, and has much better high-drain performance.

15 k 309 k 1 M 1. The resistor divider is not populated. In case that another output voltage is desired, MCP1642B/D-ADJ should be used. The output voltage can be set according to Equation 2-1. FIGURE 2-3: Two Cells to 5.0V Synchronous Boost MSOP-8 Application.
The MCP1642B/D Two-Cells to USB Power Evaluation Board was designed to be used in the evaluation of the device. The package selected is MSOP-8.

The board comes with the fixed output value MCP1642B/D-50 option (V internally set to 5.0V). If a different output voltage is desired, the MCP1642B/D-ADJ adjustable option can be used. In this case, the resistor divider consisting of R and R is used to set the converter output voltage.
