MAX17270/MAX17271
nanoPower Triple-Output, Single-Inductor,
Multiple-Output (SIMO) Buck-Boost Regulator
General Description
Benefits and Features
● 3-Output, Single-Inductor, Multiple-Output (SIMO)
The MAX17270/MAX17271 are 3-output switching
regulators designed for applications requiring efficient
regulation of multiple supplies in a very small space, such
as wearable electronic devices.
Buck-Boost Regulator
● 2.7V to 5.5V Input Voltage Range
● Low-Power and Long Battery Life
• 1.3μA Operating Current (3 SIMO Channels)
• 330nA Shutdown Current
The parts use a buck-boost architecture that regulates
three outputs using a single, small 2.2µH inductor at
efficiencies up to 85%. This results in smaller board space
while delivering better total system efficiency than equivalent
power solutions using one buck and linear regulators.
• 85% Efficiency at 3.3V Output
● Flexible and Configurable
2
• I C-Compatible Interface (MAX17271)
The supply current is 0.85µA when only one output is
enabled, plus 0.2µA for each additional output enabled.
• Programmable Output Voltage: 0.8V to 5.175V
MAX17270/MAX17271
This SIMO (Single-Input Multiple-Output) regulator uti-
lizes the entire battery voltage range due to its ability to
create output voltages that are above, below, or equal to
the input voltage. Peak inductor current for each output is
programmable to optimize the balance between efficiency,
output ripple, EMI, PCB design, and load capability.
• Programmable Peak Current Limit
● Robust
• Soft-Start
• Overload Protection
• Thermal Protection
● Small Size
Two versions are available. The MAX17270 has 3 enable
inputs and 3 output voltage programming inputs. The
• 1.77mm x 1.77mm x 0.50mm, 16-Bump
0.4mm-Pitch WLP Package
• 3mm x 3mm x 0.75mm, 16-Pin TQFN Package
• Small Total Solution Size
2
MAX17271 includes an I C interface with interrupt, a
push-button turn on/off, and a power-good indication.
All versions are offered in either a 4 x 4, 0.4mm wafer-
level package (WLP) or a 16-pin TQFN package.
