MAX1677
The MAX1677 is a compact, high-efficiency, dual-out-
put boost converter for portable devices needing two
regulated supplies, typically for logic and liquid crystal
displays (LCDs). Operation with inputs as low as 0.7V
allows the MAX1677 to accept 1, 2, or 3-cell alkaline,
NiCd, or NiMH batteries as well as 1-cell lithium-ion bat-
teries. The device requires no external FETs and can
maintain regulation while consuming only 20µA, making
it ideal for hand-held pen-input and PDA devices oper-
ating with low-current “sleep” states.
The MAX1677’s primary regulator supplies up to
350mA at either a factory-preset 3.3V or an adjustable
2.5V to 5.5V output. On-chip synchronous rectification
provides efficiencies up to 95%. 300kHz (or externally
clocked) pulse-width-modulation (PWM) operation is
particularly suitable for applications needing low noise,
such as those with wireless features. The primary con-
verter also features pin-selectable pulse-frequency-
modulation (PFM) operation that consumes only 20µA.
A 1µA shutdown state also minimizes battery drain.
The MAX1677’s secondary step-up converter supplies up
to +28V or -28V for LCD bias, varactor tuning, or other
high-voltage, low-current functions. Other MAX1677 fea-
tures include precision reference, logic control inputs for
both regulators, and an uncommitted comparator for
low-battery detection or a reset function. The MAX1677
is supplied in Maxim’s compact 16-pin QSOP package,
which occupies no more space than a standard SO-8.
