_______________General Description
The MAX1642/MAX1643 are high-efficiency, low-voltage,
step-up DC-DC converters intended for devices pow-
ered by a single alkaline cell. They feature low quies-
cent supply currents and are supplied in the ultra-small
µMAX package, which is only 1.1mm high. The guaran-
teed start-up voltage is 0.88V.
Each device consists of an internal 1
Ω
, N-channel
MOSFET power switch; a built-in synchronous rectifier
that acts as the catch diode; an oscillator; a reference;
and pulse-frequency-modulation (PFM) control circuitry.
Both devices feature an independent undervoltage
comparator (PFI/PFO). The MAX1642 also includes a
2µA logic-controlled shutdown mode. The MAX1643
offers a dedicated low-battery detector (BATTLO) in
lieu of shutdown.
The output voltage for each device is preset to 3.3V
±4%, or can be adjusted from +2V to +5.2V using only
two resistors.
