General Description
The MAX1817 is a compact, high-efficiency, dual-output step-up converter for portable devices that provides both the main logic supply and the LCD bias. The
device operates from an input voltage of +1.5V to
+5.5V, allowing the use of 2- or 3-cell alkaline batteries,
or 1-cell lithium-ion (Li+) batteries.
The MAX1817’s main regulator supplies 125mA at
either a preset 3.3V or an adjustable 2.5V to 5.5V output voltage with up to 88% efficiency. A 0.1µA shutdown state also minimizes battery drain. The
MAX1817’s secondary step-up converter provides the
LCD bias voltage and is adjustable up to +28V.
Other features include a fast switching frequency to
reduce the size of external components and a low quiescent current to maximize battery life. Both outputs can
be independently shut down for improved flexibility.
The MAX1817 is supplied in a compact 10-pin µMAX
package. The MAX1817 evaluation kit (MAX1817EVKIT)
is available to speed up design.
