LM2623: DC-DC boost converter selection

Part Number: LM2623
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS61099, TPS61299

Tool/software:

Hello,

I'm looking for a DC-DC boost converter for a new application. Could you recommend applicable option(s)? Thank you.

DC-DC boost converter

  • Low cost
  • VIN range: 1.5V to 3.3V (qty 2 ‘AA’ alkaline)
  • VOUT: 3.3V
  • Iq(typ): <= 30uA at no load. Our idle load may be on the order of 100uA or less, and we don’t want to use up a significant portion of our battery life budget on this.
  • Iout(peak): 200mA (for brief pulses)
  • Iout(average): 20mA (max, sustained)
  • Low output noise/ripple: This will be used to power analog measurement circuitry.

EAU: 5000/year

As an alternative, we are also considering using a DC-DC to ~3.7V and an LDO, if it is necessary to improve noise performance.
