MAXIM MAX1765 Technical data

General Description

The MAX1765 is a high-efficiency, low-noise, step-up
DC-DC converter intended for use in battery-powered
wireless applications. This device operates at a high
1MHz fixed frequency while maintaining an exception­ally low quiescent supply current (200µA). Its small
external components and tiny package make this
device an excellent choice for small hand-held applica­tions that require the longest possible battery life.

The MAX1765 uses a synchronous-rectified pulse­width-modulation (PWM) boost topology to generate

2.5V to 5.5V outputs from a wide range of input
sources, such as one to three alkaline or NiCd/NiMH
cells or a single lithium-ion (Li+) cell. Maxim's propri­etary architecture significantly improves efficiency at
low load currents while automatically transitioning to
fixed-frequency PWM operation at medium to high load
currents to maintain excellent full-load efficiency.
Forced-PWM mode is available for applications that
require constant-frequency operation at all load cur­rents, and the MAX1765 may also be synchronized to
an external clock to protect sensitive frequency bands
in communications equipment.

The MAX1765’s low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator and
DC-DC converter have separate shutdown control. The
linear regulator's 250mΩ pass device maintains excel­lent dropout voltage at currents up to 500mA. The
MAX1765 also features analog soft-start and current­limit functions to permit optimization of efficiency, exter­nal component size, and output voltage ripple.

The MAX1765 comes in a 16-pin QSOP package and a
thermally enhanced 16-pin TSSOP-EP.

Note 1: Operating voltage. Since the regulator is bootstrapped to the output, once started it will operate down to 0.7V input.
Note 2: The device is in startup mode when V

is below this value (see Low-Voltage Startup Oscillator section). Do not apply full

load current.

Note 3: Supply current into the OUT and POUT pins. This current correlates directly to the actual battery-supply current, but is

reduced in value according to the step-up ratio and efficiency.
