Product details
Overview
MAX1585ETJ+ from Maxim Integrated is a 5-channel power management IC for slim digital still cameras, integrating one synchronous step-up DC-DC converter (95% efficient), one synchronous step-down DC-DC converter (90% boost-buck capable), and three PWM controllers-including one inverting controller for negative CCD bias (−7.5V). It operates from 0.7V to 5.5V input and delivers regulated outputs for system +5V, core +1.8V, LCD/CCD/LED +15V, CCD −7.5V, and logic +3.3V in a single 32-pin thin QFN (5mm × 5mm).
For engineers reviewing the MAX1585ETJ+ datasheet, MAX1585ETJ+ pinout, MAX1585ETJ+ application, or MAX1585ETJ+ equivalent, this page provides verified functional architecture, validated pin roles, confirmed efficiency curves across load and input voltage, exact auxiliary controller configurations (including inverting AUX2), and real-world design constraints such as startup voltage threshold (0.9V), idle-mode transition current (150mA for step-up), and thermal shutdown at +160°C.
Technical Context
The MAX1585ETJ+ implements a compound power architecture: its primary step-up channel uses internal N- and P-channel MOSFETs (150mΩ/250mΩ typical RDS(on)) to generate PVSU up to 5.5V; the step-down channel can be powered either from battery or PVSU, enabling true boost-buck operation with compound efficiency up to 90%. Its three auxiliary PWM controllers are functionally distinct-AUX1 is step-up (DL1 gate driver), AUX2 is inverting (DL2 + INDL2 + FB2 = 0V threshold), and AUX3 is step-down (DL3 gate driver)-each with independent soft-start (4096 OSC cycles for AUX1/AUX2/AUX3) and dedicated power-OK signaling.
All five channels share a common oscillator (100kHz–1MHz, set by ROSC/COSC), operate in current-mode control, and feature synchronized startup sequencing: ONSU must reach regulation before ONSD, ON1, ON2, and ON3 are enabled (1024 OSC cycles delay). Overload protection triggers after 100,000 OSC cycles, and thermal shutdown activates at +160°C with 20°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 0.7V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li+ (2.7–4.2V), 2-cell AA/NiMH (1.8–3.2V), and low-voltage startup down to 0.9V with Schottky assist. |
| Step-Up Efficiency | Up to 95% - achieved using integrated N/P-channel MOSFETs; enables compact, high-efficiency main rail generation (e.g., +5V @ 300mA from 3.0V input). |
| Boost-Buck Compound Efficiency | Up to 90% - realized when step-down channel is powered from PVSU output, allowing stable +1.5V or +1.8V core supply even as battery drops below output voltage. |
| AUX2 Function | Inverting controller - FB2 threshold = 0V; generates −7.5V @ 40mA for CCD bias using external P-FET and inductor; requires INDL2 tied to battery for proper PFET gate control. |
| Shutdown Current | ≤5µA into PVSU - enables ultra-low quiescent power during camera standby mode without compromising fast wake-up capability. |
| Oscillator Frequency Range | 100kHz to 1MHz - set externally via ROSC (47kΩ typical) and COSC (100pF typical); higher frequencies reduce inductor size but increase switching losses. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +160°C with 20°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design; forces global shutdown until junction cools. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1585ETJ+ is housed in a 32-pin thin QFN package (5mm × 5mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad (EP) requiring solder connection to PCB ground plane for thermal and mechanical integrity. Pin functions are validated per Maxim's official pin description table and schematic reference design.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ONSU (Pin 12) | Step-up enable input | Logic-high active; internal 330kΩ pulldown; initiates startup sequence only when input ≥0.9V; locks out all other ON_ pins until regulation achieved. |
| PVSU (Pin 22) | Step-up output voltage rail | Primary power rail (up to 5.5V); supplies PV, PVSD, and AUX controllers; requires 47µF ceramic output capacitor and tight PGSD/PGSU grounding. |
| FB2 (Pin 23) | AUX2 inverting controller feedback | 0V threshold reference; connects to resistive divider between −7.5V output and REF (1.25V) to set precise negative output voltage. |
| INDL2 (Pin 25) | AUX2 gate-drive voltage source | Tied to battery (not PVSU) to ensure full turn-off of external P-FET during DL2 high state; critical for reliable inverter operation. |
| DL2 (Pin 27) | AUX2 gate-driver output | Drives P-FET source-to-drain in inverting topology; actively pulled high in shutdown/overload to disable negative rail safely. |
| SDOK (Pin 17) | Step-down power-OK signal | Open-drain active-low; goes low after 2048 OSC-cycle soft-start completes and output is within regulation; used for system sequencing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated step-up + step-down converters | Eliminates need for 2–3 external power ICs; reduces BOM count by ≥7 components and saves ≥120mm² PCB area in DSC designs. |
| AUX2 inverting controller | Enables high-current (40mA) negative CCD bias (−7.5V) without transformers or charge pumps-critical for large-pixel CCD sensors in premium cameras. |
| No-transformer auxiliary design | Supports transformerless flyback-free topologies for AUX1 (+15V) and AUX3 (+3.3V), lowering EMI and simplifying layout versus isolated solutions. |
| Sequenced multi-rail startup | Hardware-enforced timing: step-up must regulate before step-down and AUX channels enable (1024 OSC cycles), preventing brown-out and rail collapse. |
| Idle-mode efficiency optimization | Switches step-up to variable-frequency pulse-skipping below 150mA load, maintaining >85% efficiency at 10mA while reducing audible noise. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multi-rail camera power management applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1584ETJ+ | Replaces AUX2 inverter with second step-up controller; FB2 threshold = 1.25V; no negative output capability. | Suitable for designs needing dual positive rails (e.g., +15V + +12V) but not CCD bias; lacks −7.5V generation. | Select MAX1584ETJ+ only if camera uses CMOS sensor or CCD with integrated bias; MAX1585ETJ+ is mandatory for discrete high-current CCD bias. |
| TPS65131RGTR | Dual-output (±15V) inverter IC with integrated charge pump; no step-up/step-down channels; 16-pin QFN; fixed outputs. | Requires external step-up/step-down ICs for main rails; adds ≥3 components and ≥200mm² area; limited to fixed ±15V. | Use TPS65131RGTR only as supplemental inverter alongside separate buck/boost ICs; not a functional replacement for MAX1585ETJ+'s integrated 5-channel architecture. |
Compared with MAX1584ETJ+, MAX1585ETJ+ uniquely supports CCD-specific negative bias via FB2=0V and INDL2-referenced DL2 drive, while TPS65131RGTR offers only fixed dual-rail inversion without system-level power integration-making MAX1585ETJ+ the sole single-chip solution for slim DSCs requiring +5V, +1.8V, +15V, −7.5V, and +3.3V from one Li+ cell.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required to start up the MAX1585ETJ+?
The MAX1585ETJ+ features an internal low-voltage startup oscillator that begins operation at approximately 0.9V, enabling reliable cold-start from deeply discharged batteries. A Schottky diode from battery to PVSU is required for startup below ~2.5V, as the main control circuitry engages only after PVSU reaches regulation (~2.5V). This behavior is explicitly confirmed in Note 2 and Figure toc08 of the MAX1585ETJ+ datasheet.
How does the MAX1585ETJ+ generate negative voltage for CCD bias?
The MAX1585ETJ+ uses its AUX2 channel as an inverting controller: FB2 has a 0V threshold, DL2 drives a P-channel MOSFET, and INDL2 is connected to the battery to establish correct gate-source voltage. A resistive divider from the −7.5V output to FB2 and REF (1.25V) sets regulation. This topology-documented in Pin Description page 11 and Figure 2-is exclusive to MAX1585ETJ+ and not supported by MAX1584ETJ+.
Can the MAX1585ETJ+ operate without external MOSFETs?
Yes-the MAX1585ETJ+ integrates MOSFETs for its primary step-up and step-down converters (N- and P-channel, 150mΩ/250mΩ typical RDS(on)), enabling complete +5V and +1.8V generation with only inductors and capacitors. However, all three auxiliary controllers (AUX1, AUX2, AUX3) require external MOSFETs, as confirmed in the General Description and Pin Description sections.
What is the purpose of the INDL2 pin on the MAX1585ETJ+?
INDL2 (Pin 25) supplies the gate-drive voltage reference for the AUX2 inverting controller's DL2 output. Unlike MAX1584ETJ+, MAX1585ETJ+ requires INDL2 to be tied to the battery-not PVSU-to ensure the external P-FET fully turns off when DL2 goes high. This configuration prevents shoot-through and is essential for stable −7.5V generation, as specified in the MAX1585ETJ+ Pin Description (page 11) and Functional Diagram (page 13).
Does the MAX1585ETJ+ support independent enable sequencing for each output channel?
No-enable sequencing is hardware-fixed: ONSU must achieve regulation before ONSD, ON1, ON2, and ON3 are released (after 1024 OSC cycles). There is no software or pin-programmable override. This ensures safe power-up order (e.g., +5V before +1.8V core) and prevents latch-up, as detailed in the Applications Information and Pin Description sections of the MAX1585ETJ+ datasheet.
