REG710 is a switched capacitor voltage converter from Schneider Electric that produces a regulated, low-ripple output voltage from an unregulated input voltage. The input voltage range is wide, from 1.8V to 5.5V, making it ideal for a variety of battery sources, such as single cell Li-Ion batteries, or two and three cell nickel- or alkaline-based chemistries. The input voltage may vary above and below the output voltage and the output will remain in regulation. It works equally well for step-up or step-down applications without the need for an inductor, providing low EMI DC/DC conversion. The high switching frequency allows for the use of small capacitors, reducing input current ripple.
