General Description
The MAX1522/MAX1523/MAX1524 are simple, compact
boost controllers designed for a wide range of DC-DC
conversion topologies, including step-up, SEPIC, and
flyback applications. They are for applications where
extremely low cost and small size are top priorities.
These devices are designed specifically to provide a
simple application circuit and minimize the size and
number of external components, making them ideal for
PDAs, digital cameras, and other low-cost consumer
electronics applications.
These devices use a unique fixed on-time, minimum off-
time architecture, which provides excellent efficiency
over a wide-range of input/output voltage combinations
and load currents. The fixed on-time is pin selectable to
either 0.5µs (50% max duty cycle) or 3µs (85% max
duty cycle), permitting optimization of external compo-
nent size and ease of design for a wide range of output
voltages.
The MAX1522/MAX1523 operate from a +2.5V to +5.5V
input voltage range and are capable of generating a
wide range of outputs. The MAX1524 is intended for
bootstrapped operation, permitting startup with lower
input voltage. All devices have internal soft-start and
short-circuit protection to prevent excessive switching
current during startup and under output fault condi-
tions. The MAX1522/MAX1524 have a latched fault
mode, which shuts down the controller when a short-
circuit event occurs, whereas the MAX1523 reenters
soft-start mode during output fault conditions. The
MAX1522/MAX1523/MAX1524 are available in a space-
saving 6-pin SOT23 package.

Detailed Description
The MAX1522/MAX1523/MAX1524 are simple, com-
pact boost controllers designed for a wide range of
DC-DC conversion topologies including step-up,
SEPIC, and flyback applications. These devices are
designed specifically to provide a simple application
circuit with a minimum of external components and are
ideal for PDAs, digital cameras, and other low-cost
consumer electronics applications.
These devices use a unique fixed on-time, minimum
off-time architecture, which provides excellent efficien-
cy over a wide range of input/output voltage combina-
tions and load currents. The fixed on-time is pin
selectable to either 0.5µs or 3µs, permitting optimiza-

a wide range of output voltages.
time, and another cycle begins when FB drops below
its 1.25V regulation point.
Bootstrapped vs. Nonbootstrapped
The V
CC
supply voltage range of the MAX1522/
MAX1523/MAX1524 is +2.5V to +5.5V. The supply for
V
CC
can come from the input voltage (nonboot-
strapped), the output voltage (bootstrapped), or an
independent regulator.
The MAX1522/MAX1523 are usually utilized in a non-
bootstrapped configuration, allowing for high or low
output voltage operation. However, when both the input
and output voltages fall within the +2.5V to +5.5V
range, the MAX1522/MAX1523 may be operated in
nonbootstrapped or bootstrapped mode. Bootstrapped
mode provides higher gate-drive voltage to the MOS-
FET switch, reducing I
2
R losses in the switch, but will
also increase the V
CC
supply current to charge and
discharge the gate. Depending upon the MOSFET
selected, there may be minor variation in efficiency vs.
load vs. input voltage when comparing bootstrapped
and nonbootstrapped configurations.
The MAX1524 is always utilized in bootstrapped config-
uration for applications where the input voltage range
extends down below 2.5V and the output voltage is
between 2.5V and 5.5V. V
CC
is connected to the output
(through a 10Ω series resistor) and receives startup
voltage through the DC current path from the input
through the inductor, diode, and 10Ω resistor. The
MAX1524 features a low-voltage startup oscillator that

Control Scheme
The MAX1522/MAX1523/MAX1524 feature a unique
fixed on-time, minimum off-time architecture, which pro-
vides excellent efficiency over a wide range of
input/output voltage combinations. The fixed on-time is
pin selectable to either 0.5µs or 3µs for a maximum
duty factor of either 45% or 80%, respectively. An
inductor charging cycle is initiated by driving EXT high,
turning on the external MOSFET. The MOSFET remains
on for the fixed on-time, after which EXT turns off the
MOSFET. EXT stays low for at least the minimum off-
