_______________General Description
The ultra-small MAX870/MAX871 monolithic, CMOS
charge-pump inverters accept input voltages ranging
from +1.4V to +5.5V. The MAX870 operates at 125kHz,
and the MAX871 operates at 500kHz. Their high efficien-
cy (90%) and low operating current (0.7mA for the
MAX870) make these devices ideal for both battery-pow-
ered and board-level voltage-conversion applications.
Oscillator control circuitry and four power MOSFET
switches are included on-chip. A typical MAX870/
MAX871 application is generating a -5V supply from a
+5V logic supply to power analog circuitry. Both parts
come in a 5-pin SOT23-5 package and can deliver 25mA
with a voltage drop of 500mV.
For applications requiring more power, the MAX860
delivers up to 50mA with a voltage drop of 600mV, in a
space-saving µMAX package.
