Power-supply input. Also acts as a voltage-sense point when in bootstrapped mode for the
MAX770/MAX771/MAX772, or as a shunt regulator when SGND is connected to ground for the
MAX773. Bypass to SGND with 0.1
µ
F when using the shunt regulator.
Feedback input for adjustable-output operation. Connect to ground for fixed-output operation. Use
a resistor divider network to adjust the output voltage. See
Setting the Output Voltage
section.
Active-high TTL/CMOS logic-level shutdown input. In shutdown mode, V
OUT
is a diode drop
below V+ (due to the DC path from V+ to the output) and the supply current drops to 5
µ
A
maximum. Connect to ground for normal operation.
1.5V reference output that can source 100
µ
A for external loads. Bypass to GND with 0.1
µ
F.
The reference is disabled in shutdown.
Positive input to the current-sense amplifier. Connect the current-sense resistor between CS and GND.
Input sense point for 12V-output operation. Connect V
OUT
to V12 for 12V-output operation.
Leave unconnected for adjustable-output operation.
Input sense point for 5V-output operation. Connect V
OUT
to V5 for 5V-output operation. Leave
unconnected for adjustable-output operation.

LBI
Input to the internal low-battery comparator. Tie to GND or V+ if not used.

SGND
Shunt regulator ground. Leave unconnected if the shunt regulator is
not
used.
Low-battery output is an open-drain output that goes low when LBI is less than 1.5V. Connect to V+
through a pull-up resistor. Leave floating if not used. LBO is high impedance in shutdown mode.
