The XC9142C38CMR-G with Switching Voltage Regulators 0.8A Synchronous Step-up DC/DC Converter is an integrated circuit (IC) from Torex Semiconductor, which is designed to boost the input voltage level of a DC power source. It consists of an integrated high-frequency switching regulator, which can achieve a high-efficiency power conversion from input to output. It is ideal for applications such as automotive, audio/video, computing, and industrial applications that require a regulated, clean and low-noise output voltage. The circuit includes features such as over-voltage protection, over-current protection, over-temperature protection and short-circuit protection. It offers a wide input-voltage range of 3V to 44V and an adjustable output-voltage range of 5V to 60V, as well as a wide operating-temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Synchronous rectification allows it to achieve lower output-voltage ripples and higher efficiency compared with other converters.
