The MAX1673 charge-pump inverter provides a low-
cost, compact means of generating a regulated nega-
tive output from a positive input at up to 125mA. It
requires only three small capacitors, and only two resis-
tors to set its output voltage. The input range is 2V to

(up to -1 x V )
IN
♦ 125mA Output Current
♦ 35µA Quiescent Supply Current
5.5V. The regulated output can be set from 0V to -V in

regulation mode.
(Linear-mode regulation)
In Skip mode, the MAX1673 regulates by varying its
switching frequency as a function of load current. This
On-De ma nd ™ s witc hing g ive s the MAX1673 two
advantages: very small capacitors and very low quies-
cent supply current. At heavy loads, it transfers energy
from the inp ut to the outp ut b y s witc hing a t up to
350kHz. It switches more slowly at light loads, using
only 35µA quiescent supply current.
♦ 2V to 5.5V Input Range
♦ 1µA Logic-Controlled Shutdown
In Linear mode, the MAX1673 switches at a constant
350kHz a t a ll loa d s a nd re g ula te s b y c ontrolling
the current-path resistance. This provides constant-
frequency ripple, which is easily filtered for low-noise
applications.

This device also features a 1µA logic-controlled shut-
down mode and is available in a standard 8-pin SO
package. For a device that delivers about 10mA and
fits in a smaller package, refer to the MAX868.
