MAX17220‒MAX17225
400mV to 5.5V Input, nanoPower Synchronous
Boost Converter with True Shutdown
General Description
Benefits and Features
● 300nA Quiescent Supply Current Into OUT
The MAX17220–MAX17225 is a family of ultra-low
quiescent current boost (step-up) DC-DC converters
with a 225mA/0.5A/1A peak inductor current limit and
True Shutdown™. True Shutdown disconnects the output
from the input with no forward or reverse current. The
output voltage is selectable using a single standard 1%
resistor. The 225mA (MAX17220), 500mA (MAX17222/
MAX17223), and 1A (MAX17224/MAX17225) peak inductor
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 battery
applications where long battery life is a must.
