The MAX860/MAX861 charge-pump voltage converters
invert input voltages ranging from +1.5V to +5.5V, or
double input voltages ranging from +2.5V to +5.5V.
Because of their high switching frequencies, these
devices use only two small, low-cost capacitors. Their
50mA output makes switching regulators unnecessary,
eliminating inductors and their associated cost, size,
and EMI. Greater than 90% efficiency over most of the
load-current range, combined with a typical operating
current of only 200µA (MAX860), provides ideal performance for both battery-powered and board-level voltage-conversion applications.
A frequency-control (FC) pin provides three switchingfrequencies to optimize capacitor size and quiescent
current and to prevent interference with sensitive circuitry. Each device has a unique set of three available
frequencies. A shutdown (S—H—D—N–) pin reduces current
consumption to less than 1µA. The MAX860/MAX861
are suitable for use in applications where the ICL7660
and MAX660's switching frequencies are too low. The
MAX860/MAX861 are available in 8-pin µMAX and
SO packages.

Note 1:OUT may be shorted to GND for 1sec without damage, but shorting OUT to VDDmay damage the device and should be
avoided. Also, for temperatures above +85°C, OUT must not be shorted to GND or V
damage may result.
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
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 2:C1 and C2 are low-ESR (<0.2Ω) aluminum electrolytics. Capacitor ESR adds to the circuit’s output resistance. Using
Note 3:Specified output resistance includes the effect of the 0.2Ω ESR of the test circuit’s capacitors.
Note 4:The switches are driven directly at the oscillator frequency, without any division.
Note 5:At lowest frequencies, using 10µF capacitors gives worse efficiency figures than using the recommended capacitor
capacitors with higher ESR may reduce output voltage and efficiency.
