Product details
Overview
MAX1595ETC50+T from Maxim Integrated is a regulated 5.0V step-up/step-down charge-pump DC-DC converter designed for compact, high-efficiency auxiliary power in battery-powered systems. It accepts 1.8V–5.5V input, delivers up to 125mA output current, maintains ±3% output regulation, and operates at 1MHz with only three external ceramic capacitors-no inductor required. Used in PCMCIA cards, GSM SIMM modules, and white LED backlighting.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1595ETC50+T datasheet, MAX1595ETC50+T pinout, MAX1595ETC50+T application, or MAX1595ETC50+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-mode (buck/boost) operation, 0.1µA shutdown current, load disconnect during shutdown, and compatibility with space-constrained µMAX and TQFN-EP packages.
Technical Context
The MAX1595ETC50+T implements a constant-frequency, dual-mode charge-pump architecture that dynamically switches between step-up and step-down regulation based on input-to-output voltage relationship. Its internal error amplifier compares AOUT-sensed output against a 1.23V bandgap reference, while MOSFET switches S1 and S2 control charge transfer via CXN/CXP terminals.
It features undervoltage lockout (1.6V threshold with 40mV hysteresis), soft-start (≤2ms), and thermal protection. The TQFN-EP package provides 6°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, enabling 150mA continuous output under proper PCB layout with exposed pad grounding.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±3% over -40°C to +85°C, 0–125mA load, VIN = 3.0V |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, NiMH, and 3.3V/5V system rails |
| Switching Frequency | 1.0MHz ±15% - enables use of 0.22µF ceramic transfer capacitor and low-ESR 1µF output cap |
| Quiescent Current | 240µA typical at VIN = 3.0V - minimizes standby power loss in always-on subsystems |
| Shutdown Current | 5µA max at VIN = 5.5V - ensures ultra-low leakage when disabled |
| Output Current | 125mA continuous - sufficient for driving 3–5 white LEDs or powering flash memory VCC |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 41°C/W (TQFN-EP) - requires ≥200mm² exposed GND copper pour for full 125mA operation |
Pinout & Package
MAX1595ETC50+T is housed in a 12-pin TQFN-EP (3mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad internally connected to GND. The EP must be soldered to a large PCB ground plane for thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AOUT (Pin 1) | Analog sense input | Connects directly to OUT at output capacitor for accurate feedback; critical for regulation stability |
| SHDN (Pin 2) | Digital enable control | Active-high logic input; drives device into 5µA shutdown with automatic load disconnect |
| IN (Pins 3,4) | Main power input | Dual-pin configuration lowers impedance; bypass with 1µF ceramic close to pins |
| GND (Pin 5) | Analog ground reference | Separate from PGND; connects to signal ground plane, not power return path |
| PGND (Pins 6,7) | Power ground return | High-current return for internal switches; tie to GND only at single point near CIN |
| CXN (Pins 8,9) | Negative transfer node | Connects to negative terminal of 0.22µF ceramic charge-transfer capacitor (CX) |
| CXP (Pin 10) | Positive transfer node | Connects to positive terminal of CX; switching node with 1MHz square-wave activity |
| OUT (Pins 11,12) | Regulated output | Dual-pin output reduces IR drop; connect 1µF ceramic filter capacitor directly to pins |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-inductor design | Eliminates EMI-sensitive magnetics and saves >30% board area vs. inductive boost converters |
| Dual-mode regulation | Automatically steps down when VIN > VOUT + ~0.7V, or steps up when VIN < VOUT - no mode-select pin needed |
| Load disconnect in shutdown | Prevents backfeed from output to input, protecting upstream sources like batteries or LDOs |
| Ultra-low shutdown current | 5µA max ensures >10-year shelf life in backup-battery applications (e.g., RTC or SRAM keep-alive) |
| 1MHz fixed-frequency operation | Enables predictable EMI filtering and consistent capacitor sizing across production lots |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar charge-pump regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1595EUA50+ | Same functionality and specs, but in 8-pin µMAX package (θJA = 206.3°C/W); lower thermal capacity | Suitable for ≤75mA loads or ambient <50°C; requires smaller PCB footprint | Select MAX1595EUA50+ when board area is more critical than output current or thermal margin |
| TPS60403DBVR | Fixed 5V output, 60mA max, 1MHz, but lacks step-down capability and has higher quiescent current (250µA) | Limited to pure boost applications; not suitable for buck-mode operation or >60mA loads | Choose TPS60403DBVR only if cost is primary and 5V-only boost from ≥2.7V suffices |
Compared with MAX1595EUA50+, the MAX1595ETC50+T offers 6× better thermal performance and 67% higher output current; versus TPS60403DBVR, it adds true buck-boost flexibility, 100% higher current rating, and integrated load disconnect-critical for battery longevity in portable designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the MAX1595ETC50+T?
The MAX1595ETC50+T delivers up to 125mA continuous output current at 5.0V when properly thermally managed on a PCB with ≥200mm² exposed GND copper connected to the TQFN-EP pad. This rating assumes VIN ≥ 2.7V and ambient temperature ≤ +70°C. At higher temperatures or lower input voltages, derating applies per the 41°C/W θJA specification.
Does the MAX1595ETC50+T require an inductor?
No, the MAX1595ETC50+T is a capacitor-based charge-pump regulator and requires no inductor. It uses three external ceramic capacitors - 1µF input (CIN), 0.22µF transfer (CX), and 1µF output (COUT) - to achieve regulated 5.0V output. This eliminates magnetic components, reduces EMI, and minimizes solution size compared to inductive DC-DC converters.
How does the MAX1595ETC50+T handle input voltages above 5.0V?
The MAX1595ETC50+T automatically operates in step-down (buck) mode when VIN exceeds VOUT by ~0.7V or more. In this mode, internal switch S1 remains continuously connected to IN, while S2 alternates between IN and OUT to regulate output. This allows stable 5.0V output even when VIN rises to 5.5V - essential for systems where input rail may overshoot during hot-swap or battery charging.
What is the purpose of the AOUT pin on the MAX1595ETC50+T?
The AOUT pin on the MAX1595ETC50+T serves as the analog feedback sense input for the internal error amplifier. It must be connected directly to the OUT node at the output capacitor's ground-side terminal to ensure accurate regulation. Routing AOUT separately from OUT introduces measurement error and can cause output voltage drift or instability, especially under dynamic load conditions.
Is the MAX1595ETC50+T RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the MAX1595ETC50+T carries a "+" suffix indicating full RoHS compliance and lead-free construction per JEDEC J-STD-609. The TQFN-EP package uses matte tin (Sn) termination and meets IPC/JEDEC standard reflow profiles up to +260°C. The exposed pad is internally connected to GND and must be soldered to a PCB ground plane for both thermal and environmental compliance.
