Product details
Overview
MAX1595EUA33+ from Maxim Integrated is a regulated 3.3V step-up/step-down charge-pump DC-DC converter supporting 1.8V–5.5V input, delivering up to 75mA output current with ±3% regulation accuracy, 1MHz fixed-frequency switching, and 220µA no-load quiescent current. It serves as a compact auxiliary supply in battery-powered miniature equipment requiring efficient local voltage conversion without inductors.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1595EUA33+ datasheet, MAX1595EUA33+ pinout, MAX1595EUA33+ application, or MAX1595EUA33+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-mode (boost/buck) operation, ceramic-capacitor-only design (3× external), load-disconnect capability during shutdown, and µMAX-8 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX1595EUA33+ implements a constant-frequency charge-pump architecture with adaptive mode control: it operates in boost mode when VIN < VOUT and transitions to buck mode when VIN exceeds VOUT by ≥0.7V. Its internal error amplifier compares AOUT-sensed output against a 1.23V bandgap reference through an integrated resistive divider to maintain regulation.
Switching is managed by high-current MOSFETs (S1/S2) driving CXN/CXP terminals; charge transfer occurs at 1MHz with 50% duty cycle in heavy-load conditions, while light loads trigger low-power mode for efficiency optimization. Undervoltage lockout activates below 1.6V (40mV hysteresis), and shutdown disables all switching while disconnecting OUT from IN.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±3% - ensures stable bias for 3.3V logic, flash memory, and white LED strings without external feedback. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), NiMH (1.8–3.0V), and 3.3V/5V system rails. |
| Max Output Current | 75mA at 3.3V - sufficient for powering 3–5 white LEDs or small microcontroller peripherals. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.0MHz typical - enables use of 0.22µF ceramic transfer capacitor and 1µF output capacitor, minimizing board area. |
| Quiescent Current | 220µA at no load - extends battery life in always-on portable devices. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1µA - fully isolates output and halts switching to eliminate standby power loss. |
| Regulation Accuracy | ±3% over -40°C to +85°C - meets tight tolerance requirements for precision analog and digital subsystems. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1595EUA33+ uses the 8-pin µMAX package (2.1mm × 2.1mm, 0.5mm pitch), featuring exposed thermal pad on TQFN variants only - not present in µMAX. Pin 1 is AOUT; pins 5 and 6 are separate PGND and GND connections for noise isolation between analog and power return paths.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AOUT | Analog sense input | Connects directly to output capacitor's positive terminal for accurate remote sensing and ripple rejection. |
| SHDN | Digital enable control | Active-high logic input; pulls low to enter 0.1µA shutdown with automatic output disconnect. |
| IN | Main power input | Accepts 1.8–5.5V supply; requires 1µF ceramic bypass to GND adjacent to pin. |
| GND | Analog ground reference | Reference for error amplifier and bandgap; must be routed separately from PGND to minimize noise coupling. |
| PGND | Power ground return | Return path for charge-pump switching currents; connects to CIN and COUT negative terminals. |
| CXN | Negative transfer node | Connects to negative terminal of 0.22µF ceramic transfer capacitor (CX). |
| CXP | Positive transfer node | Connects to positive terminal of CX; switches between IN and OUT depending on operating mode. |
| OUT | Regulated output | Delivers 3.3V ±3%; requires 1µF ceramic output capacitor connected between OUT and PGND. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar charge-pump regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1722EUA+ | 3.3V fixed-output, 100mA max, 1.2MHz, but boost-only (no buck mode); requires different capacitor values. | Lacks input voltage range flexibility below 2.0V and cannot regulate when VIN > VOUT. | Select MAX1722EUA+ only when strictly boosting from 2.0–5.5V and higher output current is required. |
| TPS60403DBVR | 3.3V fixed-output, 60mA max, 1MHz, boost-only, 2.5µA IQ - significantly higher quiescent current than MAX1595EUA33+. | No buck capability; unsuitable for applications where input may exceed 3.3V during brownout or rail-sharing scenarios. | Choose TPS60403DBVR only if TI supply chain preference or specific qualification requirements override efficiency and mode flexibility needs. |
Compared with MAX1722EUA+ and TPS60403DBVR, the MAX1595EUA33+ uniquely supports true buck-boost operation across 1.8–5.5V input, delivers tighter ±3% regulation, and achieves 220µA no-load IQ - making it optimal for battery-critical, space-constrained dual-mode power rails.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by the MAX1595EUA33+?
The MAX1595EUA33+ delivers up to 75mA of continuous output current at 3.3V while maintaining ±3% regulation across -40°C to +85°C. This rating assumes proper thermal layout with 1µF input and output ceramic capacitors and adherence to the µMAX package's 206.3°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance limit. Exceeding 75mA risks thermal shutdown or reduced regulation accuracy.
Does the MAX1595EUA33+ require an inductor in its application circuit?
No, the MAX1595EUA33+ is an inductorless charge-pump regulator. It uses three external ceramic capacitors - 1µF input (CIN), 0.22µF transfer (CX), and 1µF output (COUT) - to achieve step-up/step-down conversion. This eliminates magnetic components, reduces EMI, and simplifies PCB layout compared to inductive DC-DC converters.
How does the MAX1595EUA33+ behave when the input voltage exceeds 3.3V?
When VIN exceeds approximately 4.0V (VOUT + diode drop), the MAX1595EUA33+ automatically enters buck mode: switch S1 remains continuously connected to IN, while S2 alternates between IN and OUT to transfer charge proportionally. This maintains regulated 3.3V output without dropout or inefficiency - a key differentiator from boost-only charge pumps.
What is the purpose of the separate GND and PGND pins on the MAX1595EUA33+?
The MAX1595EUA33+ separates analog ground (GND) and power ground (PGND) to isolate sensitive reference and error amplifier circuitry from high-current switching noise. GND serves as the reference for the 1.23V bandgap and AOUT sensing; PGND carries pulsed charge-pump return currents from CIN and COUT. Routing them separately prevents ground bounce from degrading regulation accuracy.
Can the MAX1595EUA33+ be used to power white LEDs directly?
Yes - the MAX1595EUA33+ is commonly used to bias white LED strings in portable displays. Its 3.3V output can drive 1–2 LEDs in series (VF ≈ 3.0–3.4V) with a simple current-limiting resistor. For higher LED counts, connect the MAX1595EUA33+ output to a constant-current LED driver IC. Ripple remains under 70mV at 75mA, ensuring flicker-free illumination.
