Step-up dc-dc converters in thin sot23-5, General description, Applications features

General Description
The MAX1722/MAX1723/MAX1724 compact, high-effi-
ciency, step-up DC-DC converters are available in tiny, 5-
pin thin SOT23 packages. They feature an extremely low
1.5µA quiescent supply current to ensure the highest pos-
sible light-load efficiency. Optimized for operation from
one to two alkaline or nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) cells, or
a single Li+ cell, these devices are ideal for applications
where extremely low quiescent current and ultra-small size
are critical.
Built-in synchronous rectification significantly improves
efficiency and reduces size and cost by eliminating the
need for an external Schottky diode. All three devices fea-
ture a 0.5
Ω N-channel power switch. The MAX1722/
MAX1724 also feature proprietary noise-reduction circuitry,
which suppresses electromagnetic interference (EMI)
caused by the inductor in many step-up applications. The
family offers different combinations of fixed or adjustable
outputs, shutdown, and EMI reduction (see Selector
Guide).
