between 1.8V and 5.5V. It uses a pulse-frequency-
modulation (PFM) control scheme to generate the regulat-
ed negative output voltage. PFM operation is obtained
by gating the internal 450kHz oscillator on and off as
ne e d e d to ma inta in outp ut volta g e re g ula tion. This
unique on-demand switching scheme gives the MAX868
excellent light-load efficiency without degrading its full-
load operation (up to 30mA), permitting smaller capaci-
tors to take advantage of the oscillator’s high switching
frequency.
The MAX868 requires no inductors; only four capacitors
are required to build a complete DC-DC converter.
Output voltage regulation is achieved by adding just two
resistors. The MAX868 comes in a 10-pin µMAX pack-
age, which is only 1.11mm high and occupies just half
the board area of a standard 8-pin SO.
