Small, High-Efficiency, Five-Channel
Digital Still Camera Power Supply
General Description
Features
The MAX1565 provides a complete power-supply solution
for digital still and video cameras through the integration
of ultra-high-efficiency step-up/step-down DC-to-DC con-
verters along with three auxiliary step-up controllers. The
MAX1565 is targeted for applications that use either 2 or
3 alkaline or NiMH batteries as well as those using a
single lithium-ion (Li+) battery.

Boost
The step-up DC-to-DC converter accepts inputs from
0.7V to 5.5V and regulates a resistor-adjustable output
from 2.7V to 5.5V. It uses internal MOSFETs to achieve
95% efficiency. Adjustable operating frequency facili-
tates design for optimum size, cost, and efficiency.
Adjustable Output Down to 1.25V
ꢀ Three Auxiliary PWM Controllers
ꢀ Up to 1MHz Operating Frequency
ꢀ 1µA Shutdown Mode
The step-down DC-to-DC converter can produce output
voltages as low as 1.25V and also utilizes internal
MOSFETs to achieve 95% efficiency. An internal soft-
start ramp minimizes surge current from the battery.
The converter can operate from the step-up output pro-
viding buck-boost capability with up to 90% compound
efficiency, or it can run directly from the battery if buck-
boost operation is not needed.
ꢀ Internal Soft-Start Control
ꢀ Overload Protection
ꢀ Compact 32-Pin, 5mm x 5mm Thin QFN Package
The MAX1565 features auxiliary step-up controllers that
power CCD, LCD, motor actuator, and backlight cir-
cuits. The device also features low-cost expandability
by supplying power, an oscillator signal, and a refer-
ence to the MAX1801 SOT23 slave controller that sup-
ports step-up, SEPIC, and flyback configurations.
