Buck/Boost Regulating
Charge Pump in µMAX
General Description
Features
The MAX1759 is a buck/boost regulating charge pump
that generates a regulated output voltage from a single
lithium-ion (Li+) cell, or two or three NiMH or alkaline
cells for small hand-held portable equipment. The
MAX1759 operates over a wide +1.6V to +5.5V input
voltage range and generates a fixed 3.3V or adjustable

(2.5V to 5.5V) output (Dual Mode . Maxim’s unique
charge-pump architecture allows the input voltage to be
higher or lower than the regulated output voltage.
Despite its high 1.5MHz operating frequency, the
MAX1759 maintains low 50µA quiescent supply current.

Designed to be an extremely compact buck/boost con-
verter, this device requires only three small ceramic
capacitors to build a complete DC-DC converter capa-
ble of generating a guaranteed 100mA (min) output
current from a +2.5V input. For added flexibility, the
MAX1759 also includes an open-drain power-OK
(POK) output that signals when the output voltage is in
regulation.
The MAX1759 is available in a space-saving 10-pin
µMAX package that is 1.09mm high and half the size of
an 8-pin SO.
