General Description
The MAX38886 is a storage capacitor or capacitor bank
backup regulator designed to efficiently transfer power
between a storage element and a system supply rail in
reversible buck and boost operations using the same
inductor.
When the main supply is present and above the
minimum system supply voltage, the regulator operates
in buck mode and charges the storage element at up to
500mA peak inductor current. Once the storage element
is charged, the circuit draws only 2.5μA of current while
it maintains the supercapacitor or other storage element
in its ready state. When the main supply is removed, the
regulator operates in boost mode and prevents the
system from dropping below the minimum operating
voltage, discharging the storage element at up to 2.5A
peak inductor current.
The MAX38886 is externally programmable for minimum
and maximum voltage of the storage element, such as
supercapacitor, minimum system voltage, and maximum
charge and discharge currents. The internal DC-DC
converter requires only a 1μH inductor.

Note that a “+”, “#”, or “-” in the package code indicates
RoHS status only. Package drawings may show a different suffix character, but the drawing pertains to the package
regardless of RoHS status.
Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a four-
layer board. For detailed information on package thermal considerations, refer to
