MAX17067
The MAX17067 boost converter incorporates high-
performance (at 1.2MHz), current-mode, fixed-frequency,
pulse-width modulation (PWM) circuitry with a built-in
0.15Ω n-channel MOSFET to provide a highly efficient
regulator with fast response.
High switching frequency (640kHz or 1.2MHz selectable)
allows for easy filtering and faster loop performance. An
external compensation pin provides the user flexibility in
determining loop dynamics, allowing the use of small,
low equivalent-series-resistance (ESR) ceramic output
capacitors. The device can produce an output voltage
as high as 18V.
Soft-start is programmed with an external capacitor, which
sets the input-current ramp rate. The MAX17067 is avail-
able in a space-saving 8-pin μMAX
®
package. The ultra-
small package and high switching frequency allow the
total solution to be less than 1.1mm high.

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 1:
Limit on IN absolute maximum ratings is for operation without the use of an external resistor for the internal clamp circuit.
See the
IN Supply Clamp Circuit
section for IN voltage limits during clamping circuit operation.
Note 2:
Limits are 100% production tested at T
A
= +25°C. Maximum and minimum limits over temperature are guaranteed by design
and characterization.
Note 3:
See the
IN Supply Clamp Circuit
section to properly size the external resistor.
Note 4:
Current limit varies with duty-cycle slope compensation. See the
Output-Current Capability
section.
