Description
Powering an MSP430 microcontroller (MCU) from a single 1.5-V battery cell is desirable in a number of applications. These applications require the use of a charge-pump-based dc/dc converter. This application report describes dc/dc converter basics and selection and presents the implementation of a single-cell thermostat using an MSP430 MCU and a TPS60313 dc/dc converter. Analysis of the single-ce
