MAX1678
The MAX1678 is a high-efficiency, low-voltage, syn-
chronous-rectified, step-up DC-DC converter intended
for use in devices powered by 1 to 3-cell alkaline,
NiMH, or NiCd batteries or a 1-cell lithium battery. It
guarantees a 0.87V start-up voltage and features a low
37µA quiescent supply current.
The device includes a 1Ω, N-channel MOSFET power
switch, a synchronous rectifier that acts as the catch
diode, a reference, pulse-frequency-modulation (PFM)
control circuitry, and circuitry to reduce inductor ring-
ing—all in an ultra-small, 1.1mm-high µMAX package.
The output voltage is preset to 3.3V or can be adjusted
from +2V to +5.5V using only two resistors. Efficiencies
up to 90% are achieved for loads up to 50mA. The
device also features an independent undervoltage
comparator (PFI/PFO) and a logic-controlled 2µA shut-
down mode.

Note 1:
The reverse battery current is measured from the
Typical Operating Circuit’s
input terminal to GND when the battery is con-
nected backward. A reverse current of 220mA will not exceed package dissipation limits but, if left for an extended time
(more than 10 minutes), may degrade performance.
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:
Start-up is guaranteed by correlation to measurements of device parameters (i.e., switch on-resistance, on-time, off-time,
and output voltage trip point).
Note 3:
Specifications to -40°C are guaranteed by design and not production tested.
