General Description
Benefits and Features
● Up to 90% Efficiency
The MAX1722/MAX1723/MAX1724 compact, high-efficiency,
step-up DC-DC converters are available in tiny, 5-pin
TSOT packages. They feature an extremely low 1.5μA
quiescent supply current to ensure the highest possible
light-load efficiency. Optimized for operation from one
to two alkaline or nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) cells, or
a single Li+ cell, these devices are ideal for applications
where extremely low quiescent current and ultra-small
size are critical.
● No External Diode or FETs Needed
● 1.5μA Quiescent Supply Current
● 0.1μA Logic-Controlled Shutdown
● ±1% Output Voltage Accuracy
● Fixed Output Voltage (MAX1724) or Adjustable
Output Voltage (MAX1722/MAX1723)
● Up to 150mA Output Current
Built-in synchronous rectification significantly improves
efficiency and reduces size and cost by eliminating the
need for an external Schottky diode. All three devices
feature a 0.5Ω N-channel power switch. The MAX1722/
MAX1724 also feature proprietary noise-reduction circuitry,
which suppresses electromagnetic interference (EMI)
caused by the inductor in many step-up applications. The
family offers different combinations of fixed or adjustable
outputs, shutdown, and EMI reduction (see Selector
Guide).
● 0.8V to 5.5V Input Voltage Range
● 0.91V Guaranteed Startup (MAX1722/MAX1724)
● Internal EMI Suppression (MAX1722/MAX1724)
● TSOT Package (0.9mm typ Height)
● µDFN Package (2mm x 2mm x 0.75mm)
