unless otherwise noted.) (Note 9)
Note 1:
Minimum operating voltage. Because the MAX848/MAX849 are bootstrapped to the output, it will operate down to a 0.7V input.
Note 2:
In low-power mode (CLK/SEL = GND), the output voltage regulates 1% higher than in low-noise mode (CLK/SEL = OUT or
synchronized).
Note 3:
The part is in start-up mode until it reaches this voltage level. Do not apply full-load current.
Note 4:
Load regulation is measured from no load to full load, where full load is determined by the N-channel switch current limit.
Note 5:
Start-up is tested with Figure 2’s circuit. Output current is measured when the input and output voltages are applied.
Note 6:
Supply current from the 3.34V output is measured between the 3.34V output and the OUT pin. This current correlates directly
with actual battery supply current, but is reduced in value according to the step-up ratio and efficiency. V
OUT
= 3.6V to keep
the internal switch open when measuring the current into the device.
Note 7:
When V
CLK/SEL
= 0V, the inductor is forced into constant-peak-current, discontinuous operation. This is guaranteed by
testing in Figure 2’s circuit.
Note 8:
ON1 and ON2 inputs have approximately 0.15V
OUT
hysteresis.
Note 9:
Specifications to -40°C are guaranteed by design, not production tested.
