BU33UV7NUX has the following major features and benefits.

1. Maximize battery energy according to load conditions

BU33UV7NUX controls according to battery status and load status.

Compatible with 2-cell Alkaline, Ni-Cd, Ni-MH batteries or 1-cell Lithium-ion, Polymer batteries to maximize the limited battery energy.

2. High-precision fixed 3.3V output to stabilize the operation of electronic devices

BU33UV7NUX can output fixed 3.3V with high accuracy by internal resistance. VIN and VOUT pass through even if the VIN voltage exceeds the output voltage of 3.3V.

Therefore, a stable voltage can be supplied to electronic devices.

3. Extend the operating time by using up the battery to the end

BU33UV7NUX can output 500mA (MODE=H) even if the voltage of the 2-cell battery drops to 1.8V.

Since it is possible to supply a minimum amount of power even at low input voltages, it is possible to maximize the drive time of electronic devices.
