Buck/Boost Regulating
Charge Pump in µMAX
General Description
The MAX1759 is a buck/boost regulating charge pump
that generates a regulated output voltage from a single
lithium-ion (Li+) cell, or two or three NiMH or alkaline
cells for small hand-held portable equipment. The
MAX1759 operates over a wide +1.6V to +5.5V input
voltage range and generates a fixed 3.3V or adjustable
(2.5V to 5.5V) output (Dual Mode
™)
. Maxim’s unique
charge-pump architecture allows the input voltage to be
higher or lower than the regulated output voltage.
Despite its high 1.5MHz operating frequency, the
MAX1759 maintains low 50µA quiescent supply current.
Designed to be an extremely compact buck/boost con-
verter, this device requires only three small ceramic
capacitors to build a complete DC-DC converter capa-
ble of generating a guaranteed 100mA (min) output
current from a +2.5V input. For added flexibility, the
MAX1759 also includes an open-drain power-OK
(POK) output that signals when the output voltage is in
regulation.
The MAX1759 is available in a space-saving 10-pin
µMAX package that is 1.09mm high and half the size of
an 8-pin SO.

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.

Pin Description

NAME
POK
FUNCTION
Open-Drain Power-OK Output. POK is high impedance when output voltage is in regulation. POK sinks current
when V
FB
falls below 1.1V. Connect a 10kΩ to 1MΩ pull-up resistor from POK to V
OUT
for a logic signal.
Ground POK or leave unconnected if not used. POK is high impedance in shutdown.
Shutdown Input. Drive high for normal operation; drive low for shutdown mode. OUT is high impedance in
shutdown.
Input Supply. Connect both pins together and bypass to GND with a ceramic capacitor (see
Capacitor
Selection
section).
Ground. Connect GND to PGND with a short trace.
Power Ground. Charge-pump current flows through this pin.
Negative Terminal of the Charge-Pump Transfer Capacitor
Positive Terminal of the Charge-Pump Transfer Capacitor
Power Output. Bypass to GND with an output filter capacitor.
Dual-Mode Feedback. Connect FB to GND for 3.3V output. Connect to an external resistor divider to adjust
the output voltage from 2.5V to 5.5V.
