New buck booster for modders

[papergoblin]

The LTC3335 is a high efficiency, low quiescent current (680nA) buck-boost DC/DC converter with an integrated precision coulomb counter which monitors accumulated battery discharge in long life battery powered applications. The buck-boost can operate down to 1.8V on its input and provides eight pin-selectable output voltages with up to 50mA of output current. The coulomb counter stores the accumulated battery discharge in an internal register accessible via an I2C interface.


Not sure if this will work but thought some of the electronics gurus might find it interesting. I hope I have this in the right spot, if not sorry and feel free to move.

That 50mA maximum output current sort of ruins it for e-cigarettes. Could be an interesting read but not very applicable for us.

Yeah I was thinking more of the interesting read part myself but depending on how they develop it, it could be interesting. I'm not sure the size of it anyways, just skimmed over it. I get stuff from linear all the time, first one that caught my attention.
