Description
Bom List Low-Noise Step-Up DC-DC Converter Linear Regulator MAX1765EEE
Specs
The MAX1765 is a high-efficiency, low-noise, step-up
DC-DC converter intended for use in battery-powered
wireless applications. This device operates at a high
1MHz fixed frequency while maintaining an exception-
ally low quiescent supply current (200µA). Its small
external components and tiny package make this
device an excellent choice for small hand-held applica-
tions that require the longest possible battery life.
The MAX1765 uses a synchronous-rectified pulse-
width-modulation (PWM) boost topology to generate
2.5V to 5.5V outputs from a wide range of input
sources, such as one to three alkaline or NiCd/NiMH
cells or a single lithium-ion (Li+) cell. Maxim’s propri-
etary architecture significantly improves efficiency at
low load currents while automatically transitioning to
fixed-frequency PWM operation at medium to high load
currents to maintain excellent full-load efficiency.
Forced-PWM mode is available for applications that
require constant-frequency operation at all load cur-
rents, and the MAX1765 may also be synchronized to
an external clock to protect sensitive frequency bands
in communications equipment.
The MAX1765’s low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator and
DC-DC converter have separate shutdown control. The
linear regulator’s 250mΩ pass device maintains excel-
lent dropout voltage at currents up to 500mA. The
MAX1765 also features analog soft-start and current-
limit functions to permit optimization of efficiency, exter-
nal component size, and output voltage ripple.
The MAX1765 comes in a 16-pin QSOP package and a
thermally enhanced 16-pin TSSOP-EP
