New boost convertor ICs provide 85% DC/DC conversion efficiency and operating from battery voltages as low as 0.85V.

Two new boost convertor ICs are designed to maximise the power available from single- or dual-cell NiMH or alkaline battery packs by providing 85% DC/DC conversion efficiency and operating from battery voltages as low as 0.85V Delivering this high level of efficiency over a broad current range of 1 to 500mA, the new ICs will prolong operating time and reduce component count in portable and battery-powered electronics such as cordless phones, wireless handsets, PDAs, two-way pagers, digital cameras, GPS receivers, MP3 players, and medical diagnostic tools, as well as in LCD and OLED bias systems and wireless LANs and routers
