400mV to 5.5V Input, 500mA nanoPower Boost
Converter with Short-Circuit Protection and
Automatic Pass-Through Mode
MAX17227J
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX17227J is a nanoPower boost converter capable
of delivering a load up to 500mA peak inductor current
and offering automatic pass-through operation, True Shut-
down™, cycle-by-cycle inductor current limit, short-circuit,
and thermal-protection features. The MAX17227J offers
ultra-low quiescent current, small total solution size, and
high efficiency throughout the load and line range. The
MAX17227J is ideal for battery-powered applications
where long battery life is a must and high efficiency is re-
quired at all power levels.
● 350nA Quiescent Supply Current
● Output Short-Circuit Protection
● Automatic Pass-Through Mode
• Overcurrent and Overtemperature Protected
● 95% Peak Efficiency, 89% or Higher at 500μA
● Typical 300mA Output Current at 5.0V (V > 3.6V)
IN
● 400mV to 5.5V Input Voltage Range
● 880mV Minimum Startup Voltage
● Single Resistor-Adjustable Output Voltage
• 2.3V to 5.2V Output Voltage Range with 100mV
Steps
The MAX17227J utilizes an adaptive on-time, pulse-fre-
quency-modulation (PFM) control scheme that consumes
ultra-low quiescent current. The MAX17227J features
True Shutdown mode, where the output disconnects from
the input with no forward or reverse current. The active
discharge resistor feature pulls the charge from the output
capacitor.
• 5.4V Output Voltage Setting Available
● 500mA Peak Inductor Current Limit
● Active Discharge Feature
● Thermal Shutdown Protection
● Multiple Package Options:
• 1.58mm x 0.89mm, 0.4mm Pitch, 6-Bump (3 x 2)
