High-Voltage, 1A Micropower Boost Converter
with Short-Circuit Protection and True
Shutdown
MAX17291
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX17291 is a low quiescent current boost (step-up)
DC-DC converter with a 1A peak inductor current limit and
True Shutdown™. True Shutdown disconnects the output
from the input with no forward or reverse current. The out-
put voltage is set with an external resistor-divider.
● 28μA Quiescent Supply Current from Input
● Output Short-Circuit Protection
● Overtemperature Protection
● Constant Frequency in CCM
● True Shutdown Mode
• 0.05μA Shutdown Current
• No Reverse Current from OUT
The MAX17291 offers low quiescent current, small total
solution size, and high efficiency throughout the entire
load range. The MAX17291 is a highly integrated boost
converter designed for applications requiring high voltage
and tiny solution size, such as sensor modules. It in-
tegrates a power switch, power diode, and output load
switch. It can output up to 20V. The load switch is turned
off under shutdown mode, truly disconnecting the load
from the input voltage, thus minimizing the leakage current
during shutdown mode. The device operates with a
switching frequency of 1.0MHz in continuous conduction
mode (CCM). The MAX17291 switch current limit is 1A. It
has 2.2ms built-in soft-start time to minimize inrush cur-
rent. The device features short-circuit and thermal protec-
tion.
