MAX1722/MAX1723/ MAX1724
1.5μA IQ, Step-Up DC-DC Converters in TSOT and µDFN
General Description
The MAX1722/MAX1723/MAX1724 compact, high-efficiency, step-up DC-DC converters are available in tiny, 5-pin TSOT packages. They feature an extremely low 1.5μA quiescent supply current to ensure the highest possible 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 feature a 0.5Ω N-channel power switch.
