♦ 0.8V to 6.0V Input Supply Voltage
The MAX866 and MAX867 are ultra-small, high-efficiency,
CMOS, step-up, DC-DC switching regulators for 1-cell
battery-powered systems. The MAX866 accepts a posi-
tive input voltage between 0.8V and VOUT and converts it
to a higher, pin-selectable output voltage of 3.3V or 5V.
The MAX867 adjustable version accepts 0.8V to 6.0V
input voltages and generates a higher adjustable output
voltage in the 2.7V to 6.0V range. Typical efficiencies are
greater than 80%. Typical no-load supply current is
100µA (1µA in shutdown).
♦ 0.9V Guaranteed Start-Up Supply Voltage
♦ >80% Efficiency Over Wide Load Range
♦ 100µA No-Load Battery Current (V
♦ 1µA Shutdown Mode
= 3.3V)
OUT
♦ Up to 250kHz Switching Frequency
♦ ±1.5% Reference Tolerance
♦ Low-Battery Detector (LBI/LBO)
The MAX866/MAX867 combine ultra-low quiescent sup-
ply current and high efficiency to give maximum battery
life. Its high switching frequency permits the use of
small, low-cost inductors and capacitors. Additionally,
internal peak-current limiting protects the IC.
♦ Available in Ultra-Small 8-Pin µMAX Package
(1.11mm high)
♦ Circuit Fits in 0.2in2
