MAX1605
30V Internal Switch LCD Bias Supply
General Description
Features
The MAX1605 boost converter contains a 0.5A internal
switch in a tiny 6-pin SOT23 package. The IC operates
from a +2.4V to +5.5V supply voltage, but can boost
battery voltages as low as 0.8V up to 30V at the output.
● Adjustable Output Voltage up to 30V
● 20mA at 20V from a Single Li+ Battery
● 88% Efficiency
● Up to 500kHz Switching Frequency
The MAX1605 uses a unique control scheme providing the
highest efficiency over a wide range of load conditions.
An internal 0.5A MOSFET reduces external component
count, and a high switching frequency (up to 500kHz)
allows for tiny surface-mount components. The current
limit can be set to 500mA, 250mA, or 125mA, allowing
the user to reduce the output ripple and component size
in low-current applications.
● Selectable Inductor Current Limit
(125mA, 250mA, or 500mA)
● 18μA Operating Supply Current
● 0.1μA Shutdown Current
● Available in Two Small Packages
• 6-Pin TDFN
• 6-Pin SOT23
Additional features include a low quiescent supply
current and a shutdown mode to save power. The
MAX1605 is ideal for small LCD panels with low current
requirements, but can also be used in other applications.
A MAX1605EVKIT evaluation kit (EV kit) is available to
help speed up design time.
