BT29 Series

Clean-and-Simple, Optocoupler-Enhanced Boost Regulators

Description

BT29 is a series of low-noise, switching-free optocoupler-enhanced linear boost voltage regulators that use Polaris Semiconductor’s patented circuit topology. The devices consist of a high current MIC29152 LDO co-packaged with Polaris Semiconductor high-efficiency optocoupler chips. This offers high PSRR, low ground current, and high output current performance combined with efficient, switching-free boost capability.

The BT29 series has been designed for up to 5V output and is configured for 3-5V input voltages. During optocoupler-enhanced operation, the LDO injects current into the optocoupler’s LED, which transfer photons to the PV device. In turn, the PV device steps-up the input voltage which is then regulated by the LDO’s feedback circuit.  The result is an efficient, simple, and switching-free boost regulator.
