Description

The MAX1642/MAX1643 are high-efficiency, low-voltage, step-up DC-DC converters intended for devices powered by a single alkaline cell. They feature low quiescent supply currents and are supplied in the ultra-small µMAX® package, which is only 1.1mm high. The guaranteed start-up voltage is 0.88V.

Each device consists of an internal 1Ω, N-channel MOSFET power switch; a built-in synchronous rectifier that acts as the catch diode; an oscillator; a reference; and pulse-frequency-modulation (PFM) control circuitry. Both devices feature an independent undervoltage comparator (PFI/PFO). The MAX1642 also includes a 2µA logic-controlled shutdown mode. The MAX1643 offers a dedicated low-battery detector (BATTLO) in lieu of shutdown.

The output voltage for each device is preset to 3.3V ±4%, or can be adjusted from +2V to +5.2V using only two resistors.
