Product details
Overview
MAX1595EUA33 from Maxim Integrated is a regulated 3.3V step-up/step-down charge-pump DC-DC converter for low-power auxiliary supplies. It accepts 1.8V–5.5V input, delivers up to 75mA output current at ±3% regulation, operates at 1MHz, and requires only three ceramic capacitors-no inductor. It serves as a compact, high-efficiency voltage translator in battery-powered miniature equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1595EUA33 datasheet, MAX1595EUA33 pinout, MAX1595EUA33 application, or MAX1595EUA33 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (1.8V–5.5V), fixed 3.3V output, shutdown current (0.1µA), load disconnect capability, and µMAX-8 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX1595EUA33 implements a dual-mode switched-capacitor architecture that dynamically selects buck or boost operation based on input-to-output voltage relationship-enabling regulation even when VIN exceeds VOUT by >0.7V or falls below it. Its constant-frequency 1MHz oscillator transitions smoothly to pulse-skipping mode under light loads to maintain efficiency.
Internal circuitry includes a 1.23V bandgap reference, error amplifier with AOUT feedback sensing, high-current MOSFET switches (S1/S2), and integrated shutdown logic with soft-start (≤2ms). The device features undervoltage lockout (1.6V threshold, 40mV hysteresis) and load disconnect during shutdown.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±3% over -40°C to +85°C, 0–75mA load, enabling stable bias for 3.3V logic or analog circuitry. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V-supports single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), two-cell alkaline (2.4–3.2V), or partially discharged NiMH (1.8V+). |
| Max Output Current | 75mA at 3.3V output-sufficient for powering small microcontrollers, sensors, or flash memory I/O interfaces. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.0MHz typical-permits use of 0.22µF ceramic transfer capacitor and 1µF output capacitor, minimizing board area. |
| Quiescent Current | 220µA typical at VIN = 2.0V-ensures minimal battery drain during active operation in portable devices. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1µA-enables true zero-load power-off state with automatic load disconnect from IN to OUT. |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 206.3°C/W (µMAX-8)-requires moderate copper pour for thermal management at full load in ambient ≤70°C. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1595EUA33 is housed in an 8-pin µMAX package (3mm × 3mm, 0.8mm height, exposed pad not electrically connected), optimized for high-density portable designs. Pin 1 is AOUT; pin 2 is SHDN; pins 3 and 8 are IN and OUT respectively; GND (pin 4) and PGND (pin 5) are separate ground returns for analog and power paths.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AOUT | Analog power/sense input to error amplifier | Must connect directly to OUT at output capacitor's ground side-critical for accurate feedback and ripple rejection. |
| SHDN | Digital enable/disable control input | Active-high logic: ≥1.6V enables regulation; ≤0.6V forces 0.1µA shutdown with internal load disconnect. |
| IN | Main power input supply | Accepts 1.8–5.5V; requires local 1µF ceramic bypass to GND (pin 4) close to the package. |
| GND | Analog ground reference | Return path for AOUT, SHDN, and internal bandgap-must be star-connected to avoid noise coupling. |
| PGND | Power ground return | High-current return for CXN/CXP switching nodes and OUT capacitor-separate from GND to reduce ground bounce. |
| CXN | Negative terminal of charge-transfer capacitor | Connects to 0.22µF ceramic capacitor's negative side; switches between IN and PGND during cycle. |
| CXP | Positive terminal of charge-transfer capacitor | Connects to same 0.22µF capacitor's positive side; switches between IN and OUT to pump charge. |
| OUT | Regulated 3.3V output | Delivers up to 75mA; must be bypassed with 1µF ceramic capacitor to PGND (not GND) for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Buck-boost charge-pump topology | Enables regulation across VIN < VOUT (boost) and VIN > VOUT (buck) without external inductors-ideal for variable-battery systems. |
| Three-ceramic-capacitor solution | Eliminates magnetic components: CIN = 1µF, CX = 0.22µF, COUT = 1µF-reduces BOM count, EMI, and footprint vs. inductive converters. |
| Load disconnect in shutdown | Internally opens the path from IN to OUT during SHDN = low-prevents backfeed and preserves battery charge in standby. |
| 1.23V internal bandgap reference | Provides stable voltage reference for error amplifier-ensures ±3% output accuracy across temperature and line/load variations. |
| Soft-start on enable | Limits inrush current by ramping output over ≤2ms-avoids supply droop and prevents false triggering of downstream UVLO circuits. |
Applications
| White LED Backlighting | Flash Memory Power Supply |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar charge-pump regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1722EUA33+ | Inductor-based synchronous boost; 3.3V fixed; 150mA output; 1.5MHz switching; higher efficiency above 50mA. | Requires external inductor and diode; larger footprint; better suited for continuous high-current loads. | Select MAX1722EUA33+ when >75mA sustained current or >90% efficiency at medium load is required. |
| TPS60403DBVR | 3.3V fixed-output charge pump; 60mA max; 1MHz; 3-caps only; no buck capability; 2.5–5.5V input. | Limited to boost-only operation; lower output current; lacks VIN > VOUT regulation and load disconnect. | Select TPS60403DBVR only for simple boost-only 3.3V generation where buck mode and load isolation are unnecessary. |
Compared with MAX1595EUA33, MAX1722EUA33+ offers higher current and efficiency but adds inductor cost and size; TPS60403DBVR provides basic boost-only functionality with lower current and no buck capability-making MAX1595EUA33 the optimal choice for bidirectional voltage translation in space-limited, battery-sensitive designs.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MAX1595EUA33 across temperature and load?
The MAX1595EUA33 delivers a fixed 3.3V output with ±3% regulation over the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range and 0–75mA load current. At 25°C, typical output is 3.33V; minimum is 3.16V and maximum is 3.44V under worst-case conditions. This tight tolerance ensures compatibility with 3.3V logic families and analog sensors without external trimming.
Does the MAX1595EUA33 support both step-up and step-down operation from a single input?
Yes, the MAX1595EUA33 supports true step-up (boost) and step-down (buck) operation automatically. When VIN < VOUT, it operates in boost mode; when VIN > VOUT by ≥0.7V, it switches to buck mode-maintaining 3.3V regulation without user intervention. This eliminates the need for external mode-selection circuitry in variable-input applications like multi-cell battery systems.
What external components are required to operate the MAX1595EUA33?
The MAX1595EUA33 requires exactly three external ceramic capacitors: a 1µF input capacitor (CIN) from IN to GND, a 0.22µF charge-transfer capacitor (CX) between CXP and CXN, and a 1µF output capacitor (COUT) from OUT to PGND. No inductor, diode, or resistive feedback network is needed-reducing BOM count and layout complexity.
How does the MAX1595EUA33 behave during shutdown?
When SHDN is pulled low (<0.6V), the MAX1595EUA33 enters shutdown mode, drawing only 0.1µA supply current. Crucially, it internally disconnects the OUT node from IN-preventing backfeed into the input supply. The output voltage decays passively through the load; no external discharge circuit is required for safe power sequencing.
Can the MAX1595EUA33 be used to power white LEDs directly?
Yes, the MAX1595EUA33 is commonly used to bias white LEDs in portable displays. Its 3.3V output matches typical LED forward voltage ranges when driven in series with a current-limiting resistor or external current sink. The 1MHz switching frequency ensures LED brightness modulation remains imperceptible, and its low quiescent current extends battery life in always-on backlight applications.
