General Description
Features
The MAX1722/MAX1723/MAX1724 compact, high-effi-
ciency, step-up DC-DC converters are available in tiny, 5-
pin thin SOT23 packages. They feature an extremely low
1.5µA quiescent supply current to ensure the highest pos-
sible 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.
o Up to 90% Efficiency
o No External Diode or FETs Needed
o 1.5µA Quiescent Supply Current
o 0.1µA Logic-Controlled Shutdown
o
1% ꢀutput ꢁoltage Accuracy
o Fixed ꢀutput ꢁoltage (MAX1724) or Adjustable
ꢀutput ꢁoltage (MAX1722/MAX1723)
o Up to 150mA ꢀutput 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 fea-
ture 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).
o 0.8ꢁ to 5.5ꢁ Input ꢁoltage Range
o 0.91ꢁ Guaranteed Startup (MAX1722/MAX1724)
o Internal EMI Suppression (MAX1722/MAX1724)
o Thin SꢀT23-5 Package (1.1mm max Height)
