Maxim MAX847EEI Datasheet

________________General Description

The MAX847 is a complete power-supply and monitor­ing system for two-way pagers or other low-power digi­tal communications devices. It requires few external
components. Included on-chip are:

• A 1-cell input, 80mA output, synchronous-rectified
boost DC-DC regulator with a digitally controlled
+1.8V to +4.9V output

• Three low-noise linear-regulator outputs

• Three DAC-controlled comparators for software­driven 3-channel A/D conversion

• SPI™-compatible serial interface

• Reset and low-battery (LBO) warning outputs

• Charger for NiCd, NiMH, lithium battery, or storage
capacitor for RF PA power or system backup

• Two 1.8Ω (typical) serial-controlled open-drain
MOSFET switches

An evaluation kit for the MAX847 (MAX847EVKIT) is
available to aid in design and prototyping.

Pin Configuration appears at end of data sheet.

CH Comparator Response Time
(Note 15)

Note 1: Specifications to -40°C are guaranteed by design, not production tested.
Note 2: This is not a tested parameter, since the IC is powered from OUT, not BATT. The only limitation in the BATT range is the

inability to generate more than 5 times, or less than 1.15 times the BATT voltage at OUT. This is due to PWM controller
duty-cycle limitations in Run Mode.

Note 3: Minimum start-up voltage is tested by determining when the LX pins can draw at least 50mA for 1µs (min) at a 50kHz (min)

repetition rate. This guarantees that the IC will deliver at least 200µA at the OUT pin.

Note 4: This supply current is drawn from the OUT pin. Current drain from the battery depends on voltages at BATT and OUT and

on the DC-to-DC converter’s efficiency.

Note 5: Current into BATT pin in addition to the supply current at OUT. This current is roughly constant from Coast to Run Mode.
Note 6: Current into NICD pin when NICD isn’t being charged and isn’t regulating OUT.
Note 7: Current into NICD pin when NICD is regulating OUT. Doesn’t include current drawn from OUT by the rest of the circuit.

Measured by setting the OUT regulation point to 2.8V and holding OUT at 3.0V.

Note 8: Current into NICD pin when BATT and OUT are both at 0V. This test guarantees that NICD won’t draw significant current

when the main battery is removed and backup is not activated.

Note 9: Serial-interface timing specifications are not tested and are provided for design guidance only. Serial-interface functionali-

ty is tested by clocking data in at 5MHz with a 50% duty-cycle clock and checking for proper operation. With OUT set
below 2.5V, the serial-interface clock frequency should be reduced to 1MHz to ensure proper operation.

Note 10: This specification is not directly tested but is guaranteed by correlation to LX on-resistance and current-limit tests.
Note 11: Measured by using the internal feedback network and Coast-Mode error comparator to regulate OUT. Doesn’t include

ripple voltage due to inductor currents.

Note 12: Measured by using the internal feedback network and Run-Mode error comparator to regulate OUT. Doesn’t include ripple

voltage due to inductor currents.

Note 13: Uses the OUT measurement techniques described for the OUT Error, Coast Mode, and OUT Error Run Mode specifications.
Note 14: PLL acquisition characteristics depend on the impedance at the FILT pin. The specification is not tested and is provided

for design guidance only.

Note 15: The limits in this specification are not guaranteed and are provided for design guidance only.
