General Description
The MAX1774 is a complete power-supply solution for
PDAs and other hand-held devices. It integrates two
high-efficiency step-down converters, a boost converter
for backup battery regulation, and four voltage detectors in a small 32-pin QFN or 28-pin QSOP package.
The MAX1774 accepts inputs from +2.7V to +28V and
provides an adjustable main output from 1.25V to 5.5V
at over 2A. The secondary core converter delivers an
adjustable voltage from 1V to 5V and can deliver up to
1.5A. Both the main and core regulators have separate
shutdown inputs.
When the AC adapter power is removed, an external Pchannel MOSFET switches input to the main battery.
When the main battery is low, the backup step-up converter sustains the main output voltage. When the backup battery can no longer deliver the required load, the
system shuts down safely to prevent damage. Four onboard voltage detectors monitor the status of the AC
adapter power, main battery, and backup battery.
The MAX1774 evaluation kit is available to help reduce
design time.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
