GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
o No External FETs Required o Main Output Up to 350mA for Logic Supply Fixed 3.3V or Adjustable (2.5V to 5.5V) Synchronous Rectification for High Efficiency (up to 95%) 300kHz (200kHz to 400kHz Synchronizable) Fixed-Frequency PWM Operation o Secondary Output Up to +28V or -28V for LCD Bias Programmable Current Limit o 0.7V to 5.5V Input Voltage Range o 20µA Quiescent Current o 1µA Shutdown Current o Low-Battery Comparator o Small 16-Pin QSOP Package MAX1677 Operation with inputs as low as 0.7V allows the MAX1677 to accept 1, 2, or 3-cell alkaline, NiCd, or NiMH batteries as well as 1-cell lithium-ion batteries. On-chip synchronous rectification provides efficiencies up to 95%. 300kHz (or externally clocked) pulse-width-modulation (PWM) operation is particularly suitable for applications needing low noise, such as those with wireless features. The primary converter also features pin-selectable pulse-frequencymodulation (PFM) operation that consumes only 20µA.
