MCP1640 Single Quadruple-A Battery Boost Converter Reference Design

Reference Design Setup Circuit.
2.2.2
The board is powered from a quadruple-A battery which has 600 mAh typical capacity.
If the battery is inserted in the holder, the application will start running in Standby mode.
In this mode, PIC12F617 works in Sleep Mode most of the time, consuming a few µA
from the battery. MCP1640 consumes 0.75 µA typically in Shutdown mode. When
MCP1640 is in normal operating mode, the No Load Input Current is approximately
70 µA at 1.5V input. To reduce the average input current of the board, the MCP1640’s
EN input is pulsed at a slow rate. Figure 2-3 shows that this current is reduced up to
80%.
