3.3V/5V or Adjustable-Output,
Single-Cell DC-DC Converters

_______________________________________________________________________________________
Voltage Reference
The precision voltage reference is suitable for driving
external loads, such as an analog-to-digital converter.
The voltage-reference output changes less than ±2%
when sourcing up to 250µA and sinking up to 20µA. If
the reference drives an external load, bypass it with
0.22µF to GND. If the reference is unloaded, bypass it
with at least 0.1µF.
Logic Inputs and Outputs
The 3/5 input is internally diode clamped to GND and
OUT, and should not be connected to signals outside
this range. The SHDN input and LBO output (open-
drain) are not clamped to V+ and can be pulled as high
as 7V regardless of the voltage at OUT
.
Do not leave
control inputs (3/5, LBI, or SHDN) floating.

Output Voltage Selection
For the MAX866, you can select a 3.3V or 5V output volt-
age under logic control, or by tying 3/5 to GND or OUT.
The MAX867’s output voltage is set by two resistors, R1
and R2 (Figure 2b), which form a voltage divider
between the output and FB. Use the following equation
to determine the output voltage:
R1 + R2
