I need to power a 10F204 circuit from a 1.5 volt cell. The entire device is very small, and I can't use an inductor type switcher as the inductor will substantially increase the overall size. Is there a switch cap doubler out there that will work down to 1 volt? Or...Do some of you brilliant bulbs out there have an extremely low parts count solution? Oh, average current draw will be about 500 uA.
Thanks,
Ron

Thank you sarma,
My board space was limited, so I used the Maxim 1794 DC-DC converter. It is in a SOT package, and even has it's own zero crossing detector switch, which eliminated the Schottky diode. It will start at .8 VDC and draws only a few microamps when not loaded down. Check it out...

Hi Ron,
Is the part number MAX1794 correct?
I believe the correct part number is MAX1724.

Oops! I transposed the number on my notes. That's the one.Quote:
