General Description
The MAX1832–MAX1835 are high-efficiency step-up
converters with complete reverse battery protection that
protects the device and the load when the battery is
reversed. They feature a built-in synchronous rectifier,
which allows for over 90% efficiency and reduces size
and cost by eliminating the need for an external
Schottky diode.
These step-up converters operate from a +1.5V to
+5.5V input voltage range and deliver up to 150mA of
load current. The MAX1833/MAX1835 have a fixed
+3.3V output, and the MAX1832/MAX1834 have
adjustable outputs from +2V to +5.5V. In shutdown, the
MAX1832/MAX1833 connect the battery input to the
voltage output, allowing the input battery to be used as
a backup or real-time clock supply when the converter
is off (see Selector Guide).
The MAX1832–MAX1835 are available in a miniature 6pin SOT23 package. The MAX1832EVKIT is available to
shorten the design cycle.

Note 1: Thermal properties are specified with product mounted on PC board with one square-inch of copper area and still air.
Note 2: This device is constructed using a unique set of packaging techniques that impose a limit on the thermal profile the device
can be exposed to during solder attach and rework. This limit permits only the use of the solder profiles recommended in
the industry-standard specification, IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020A, paragraph 7.6, Table 3 for the IR/VPR and Convection reflow.
Preheating is required. Hand or wave soldering is not allowed.

Detailed Description
The MAX1832–MAX1835 compact, high-efficiency
step-up converters feature 4µA quiescent supply current to ensure the highest possible efficiency over a
wide load range. With a minimum +1.5V input voltage,
these devices are well suited for applications with two
alkaline cells, two nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) cells, or
one lithium ion (Li+) cell. For the MAX1832 and
MAX1833, the battery is connected to OUT through the
inductor and an internal PFET when SHDN is low. This
allows the input battery to be used as a backup or realtime clock supply when the converter is off by eliminating the voltage drop across the PFET body diode.
The MAX1832–MAX1835 are ideal for low-power applications where ultra-small size is critical. These devices
feature built-in synchronous rectification that significantly improves efficiency and reduces size and cost
by eliminating the need for an external Schottky diode.
Furthermore, these devices are the industry’s first boost
regulators to offer complete reverse battery protection.
This proprietary design protects the battery, IC, and the
circuitry powered by the IC in the event the input batteries are connected backwards.
Control Scheme
A current-limited control scheme is a key feature of the
MAX1832–MAX1835. This scheme provides ultra-low
quiescent current and high efficiency over a wide output current range. There is no oscillator. The inductor
current is limited by the 0.5A N-channel current limit or
by the 5µs switch maximum on-time. Following each
on-cycle, the inductor current must ramp to zero before
another cycle may start. When the error comparator
senses that the output has fallen below the regulation
threshold, another cycle begins.
An internal synchronous rectifier eliminates the need for
an external Schottky diode reducing cost and board
space. While the inductor discharges, the P-channel
MOSFET turns on and shunts the MOSFET body diode.
As a result, the rectifier voltage drop is significantly
reduced, improving efficiency without adding external
components.
Reverse Battery Protection
The MAX1832–MAX1835 have a unique proprietary
design that protects the battery, IC, and circuitry powered by the IC in the event that the input batteries are
connected backwards. When the batteries are connected correctly, the reverse battery protection N-channel
MOSFET is on and the device operates normally.
When the batteries are connected backwards, the
reverse battery protection N-channel MOSFET opens,
protecting the device and load (Figures 2 and 3).
Previously, this level of protection required additional
circuitry and reduced efficiency due to added components in the battery current path.
Applications Information
Shutdown
When SHDN is low, the device is off and no current is
drawn from the battery. When SHDN is high, the device
is on. If SHDN is driven from a logic-level output, the
logic high (on) level should be referenced to V
OUT
to
avoid intermittent turn on. If SHDN is not used at all,
connect it to OUT. With SHDN connected to OUT, the
MAX1834/MAX1835 startup voltage (1.65V) is slightly
higher, due to the voltage across the PFET body diode.
The SHDN pin has reverse battery protection.
In shutdown, the MAX1832/MAX1833 connect the battery input to the output through the inductor and the
internal synchronous rectifier PFET. This allows the
input battery (rather than a separate backup battery) to
provide backup power for devices such as an idled
microcontroller, SRAM, or real-time clock, without the
usual diode forward drop. If the output has a residual
voltage during shutdown, a small amount of energy will
be transfered from the output back to the input immediately after shutdown. This energy transfer may cause a
slight momemntary “bump” in the input voltage. The
magnitude and duration of the input bump are related
to the ratio of C
IN
and C
OUT
and the ability of the input
to sink current. With battery input sources, the bump
will be negligible, but with power-supply inputs (that
typically cannot sink current), the bump may be 100s of
mV.
In shutdown, the MAX1834/MAX1835 do not turn on the
internal PFET and thus do not have an output-to-input
current path in shutdown. This allows a separate backup battery, such as a Li+ cell, to be diode-connected at
the output, without leakage current flowing to the input.
The MAX1834/MAX1835 still have the typical input-tooutput current path from the battery to the output,
through the PFET body diode, in shutdown.
Low-Battery Cutoff
The SHDN trip threshold of the MAX1832–MAX1835
can be used as a voltage detector, with a resistordivider, to power down the IC when the battery voltage
falls to a set level (Figure 1). The SHDN trip threshold is
1.228V. To use a resistor-divider to set the shutdown
voltage, select a value for R3 in the 100kΩ to 1MΩ

is the battery voltage at which the part will shut
down and V
SHDN
= 1.228V. Note that input ripple can
sometimes cause false shutdowns. To minimize the effect
of ripple, connect a low-value capacitor (C1) from SHDN
to GND to filter out input noise. Select a C1 value such
that the R4
✕
C1 time constant is above 2ms.
Power-On Reset
The MAX1833/MAX1835 provide a power-on reset output (RST). A 100kΩ to 1MΩ pullup resistor from RST to
OUT provides a logic control signal. This open-drain
output pulls low when the output is 10% below its regulation point. If not used, connect it to GND.
Setting the Output Voltage
The output voltage of the MAX1832/MAX1834 is
adjustable from +2V to +5.5V, using external resistors
R1 and R2 (Figure 1b). Since FB leakage is 20nA
(max), select feedback resistor R1 to be 100kΩ to
1MΩ. Calculate R2 as follows:
where V
FB
= 1.228V.
Inductor Selection
The control scheme of the MAX1832–MAX1835 permits
flexibility in choosing an inductor. A 10µH inductor performs well for most applications, but values from 4.7µH
to 100µH may also be used. Small inductance values
typically offer smaller physical size. Large inductance
values minimize output ripple but reduce output power.
Output power is reduced when the inductance is large
enough to prevent the maximum current limit (525mA)
from being reached before the maximum on-time (5µs)
expires.
For maximum output current, choose L such that:
where R
IND
is the inductor series resistance, and R
NCH
is the R
DS(ON)
of the N-channel MOSFET (0.4Ω typ).
Capacitor Selection
Choose an output capacitor to achieve the desired output ripple percentage.
where r is the desired output ripple in %. A 10µF ceramic
capacitor is a good starting value. The input capacitor
reduces the peak current drawn from the battery and
can be the same value as the input capacitor. A larger
input capacitor can be used to further reduce ripple and
improve efficiency.
PC Board Layout and Grounding
Careful printed circuit layout is important for minimizing
ground bounce and noise. Keep the IC’s GND pin and
the ground leads of the input and output filter capacitors less than 0.2in (5mm) apart. In addition, keep all
connections to the FB and LX pins as short as possible.
In particular, when using external feedback resistors,
