400mV to 5.5V Input, nanoPower Synchronous
Boost Converters with True Shutdown
MAX17220–MAX17225
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX17220–MAX17225 is a family of ultra-low qui-
escent current boost (step-up) DC-DC converters with a
225mA/0.5A/1A peak inductor current limit and True Shut-
down™. True Shutdown disconnects the output from the
input with no forward or reverse current. The output volt-
age is selectable using a single standard 1% resistor. The
225mA (MAX17220/MAX17221), 500mA (MAX17222/
MAX17223), and 1A (MAX17224/MAX17225) peak induc-
tor current limits allow flexibility when choosing inductors.
The MAX17220/MAX17222/MAX17224 versions have
post-startup enable transient protection (ETP), allowing
the output to remain regulated for input voltages down
to 400mV, depending on load current. The MAX17220–
MAX17225 offer ultra-low quiescent current, small total
solution size, and high efficiency throughout the entire
load range. The MAX17220–MAX17225 are ideal for bat-
tery applications where long battery life is a must.
