Description

The MAX606/MAX607 are the smallest CMOS, step-up DC-DC converters available for flash memory and PC (PCMCIA) cards. They switch at up to 1MHz, permitting the entire circuit to fit in 0.25in², yet remain under 1.35mm high to fit Type 1, 2, and 3 card standards. These devices operate from a 3V to 5.5V input and provide a ±4% accurate output that is preset to 5V or 12V, or adjustable from V_IN to 12.5V. They can provide up to 180mA of output current at 5V.

The MAX606 switches at up to 1MHz and fits Type 1 (thinnest standard) flash memory and PCMCIA cards. It uses a thin, 1.19mm high, 5µH inductor and small, 0.68µF output capacitors. The entire circuit fits in 0.25in² and is less than 1.35mm high.

The MAX607 switches at up to 500kHz, fitting Type 2 and 3 cards, as well as hand-held devices where height requirements are not as critical. It uses less board area than the MAX606, fitting in 0.16in², but requires 2.5mm of height. It also has a lower no-load supply current than the MAX606.

Both devices use a unique control scheme that optimizes efficiency over all input and output voltages. Other features include 1µA logic-controlled shutdown and user-controlled soft-start to minimize inrush currents.

The MAX606/MAX607 come in 8-pin µMAX® and SO packages. The µMAX package uses half the board area of a standard 8-pin SO and has a maximum height of just 1.11mm.
