800mA, Low-Noise, Step-Up DC-DC Converter with 500mA Linear Regulator MAX1765
General Description
The MAX1765 is a high-efficiency, low-noise, step-up DC-DC converter intended for use in battery-powered wireless applications. This device operates at a high 1MHz fixed frequency while maintaining an exceptionally low quiescent supply current (200µA). Its small external components and tiny package make this device an excellent choice for small hand-held applications that require the longest possible battery life. The MAX1765 uses a synchronous-rectified pulsewidth-modulation (PWM) boost topology to generate 2.5V to 5.5V outputs from a wide range of input sources, such as one to three alkaline or NiCd/NiMH cells or a single lithium-ion (Li+) cell.
