Product details
Overview
MAX1595EUA50+ from Maxim Integrated is a regulated 5.0V step-up/step-down charge-pump DC-DC converter for battery-powered systems, operating from 1.8V to 5.5V input and delivering up to 125mA output current with ±3% regulation accuracy, 1MHz fixed-frequency switching, and 220µA quiescent current. It serves as a compact auxiliary supply in white LED backlighting, flash memory power, and PCMCIA card applications.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1595EUA50+ datasheet, MAX1595EUA50+ pinout, MAX1595EUA50+ application, or MAX1595EUA50+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-mode (boost/buck) charge-pump architecture, µMAX-8 package footprint, no-inductor design requiring only three ceramic capacitors, and load disconnect during shutdown.
Technical Context
The MAX1595EUA50+ implements a constant-frequency, dual-mode charge-pump regulator using internal MOSFET switches and a 1.23V bandgap reference with error amplifier feedback. Its control scheme enables seamless transition between step-up and step-down operation depending on input-to-output voltage relationship - stepping down when VIN exceeds VOUT by >0.7V, stepping up otherwise.
It integrates undervoltage lockout (1.6V threshold with 40mV hysteresis), soft-start (≤2ms), and shutdown logic that disconnects OUT from IN while drawing only 5µA supply current. The AOUT pin provides analog power/sense connection to the output filter capacitor for precise regulation stability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±3% over -40°C to +85°C, 0–125mA load, enabling stable rail for logic or analog circuitry without external feedback. |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, NiMH, alkaline, or USB-supplied systems without pre-regulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.0MHz typical - allows use of small 0.22µF ceramic transfer capacitor and 1µF output capacitor, minimizing board area. |
| Quiescent Current | 220µA at no load - extends battery life in always-on or low-duty-cycle portable devices. |
| Shutdown Current | 5µA max - ensures near-zero power drain when disabled, critical for backup-battery or sleep-mode applications. |
| Output Current Capability | 125mA continuous - sufficient for driving multiple white LEDs or powering flash memory I/O rails. |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 206.3°C/W (µMAX-8) - defines maximum power dissipation limit (~388mW at TA = +70°C) for thermal design margin. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1595EUA50+ is housed in an 8-pin µMAX package (pin pitch 0.65mm, body size 3mm × 3mm × 0.8mm), RoHS-compliant with lead-free finish. The exposed pad is absent in µMAX; thermal performance relies on PCB copper area under pins 4 (GND) and 5 (PGND).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AOUT (Pin 1) | Analog power/sense node for error amplifier | Must connect directly to COUT's ground-side terminal to minimize sensing error and ensure tight output regulation. |
| SHDN (Pin 2) | Digital enable/disable control input | Active-high logic: ≥1.6V enables regulation; ≤0.6V disables device and disconnects OUT from IN. |
| IN (Pin 3) | Main power input | Accepts 1.8–5.5V; requires local 1µF ceramic bypass to GND to suppress switching noise and stabilize input impedance. |
| GND (Pin 4) | Analog ground reference | Provides reference for error amplifier and oscillator; must be star-connected to PGND at single point near IC. |
| PGND (Pin 5) | Power ground return path | Carries high-frequency switch currents; connects to CXN/CXP/OUT return paths and must route separately from GND until joined at star point. |
| CXN (Pin 6) | Negative terminal of charge-transfer capacitor | Connects to negative side of 0.22µF ceramic CX; forms half of flying capacitor network used in both boost and buck phases. |
| CXP (Pin 7) | Positive terminal of charge-transfer capacitor | Connects to positive side of CX; alternately couples to IN (charge phase) and OUT (transfer phase) via internal MOSFETs. |
| OUT (Pin 8) | Regulated 5.0V output | Delivers up to 125mA; requires 1µF ceramic output capacitor placed adjacent to pin for low-ESR ripple suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-inductor architecture | Eliminates magnetic components and EMI concerns - ideal for space-constrained PCBs where inductor height or EMI filtering is prohibitive. |
| Dual-mode regulation (boost/buck) | Maintains 5.0V output whether input is 1.8V (boost) or 4.2V (buck), removing need for separate LDO or buck converter in multi-battery systems. |
| Load disconnect in shutdown | Prevents backfeed from OUT to IN during system sleep, protecting upstream sources and enabling true zero-power standby states. |
| Ultra-low shutdown current | 5µA max ensures <1µC total leakage per day - essential for years-long operation on coin-cell or backup batteries. |
| Integrated UVLO with hysteresis | 1.6V turn-on threshold with 40mV hysteresis prevents oscillation near battery depletion, ensuring clean startup and graceful shutdown. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1595EUA33+ | Fixed 3.3V output instead of 5.0V; identical pinout, package, and electrical specs except VOUT and corresponding load capability (75mA vs. 125mA). | Used where 3.3V logic rails or low-power microcontrollers require regulation - not suitable for 5V-tolerant peripherals or flash memory. | Select MAX1595EUA33+ only when system-level voltage requirements mandate 3.3V; MAX1595EUA50+ cannot substitute without redesigning downstream circuitry. |
| TPS60403DBVR | TI 5V charge pump with 60mA output, 1.3MHz switching, but lacks buck mode - operates boost-only from 1.6–5.5V input. | Suitable for low-current 5V generation where input never exceeds 5V; cannot regulate down from 4.5V+ inputs like MAX1595EUA50+ can. | Choose TPS60403DBVR for cost-sensitive, low-load applications without buck requirement; MAX1595EUA50+ preferred for dual-mode flexibility and higher current. |
Compared with MAX1595EUA33+ and TPS60403DBVR, the MAX1595EUA50+ uniquely combines 5.0V regulation, 125mA output, and true step-up/step-down operation in an 8-pin µMAX package - making it optimal for battery-fed systems with varying input voltage ranges and moderate load demands.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MAX1595EUA50+ across temperature and load?
The MAX1595EUA50+ delivers a fixed 5.0V output with ±3% regulation accuracy over the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range and for load currents from 0 to 125mA. This specification is guaranteed by design and tested across process corners, ensuring consistent performance in battery-powered equipment where voltage stability directly impacts peripheral functionality.
Can the MAX1595EUA50+ operate with input voltages higher than its 5.0V output?
Yes, the MAX1595EUA50+ supports true step-down operation when the input voltage exceeds the 5.0V output by approximately 0.7V or more. In this buck mode, it regulates by transferring charge from IN to OUT via the CX capacitor, maintaining stable 5.0V output even with 5.5V input - a key differentiator from boost-only charge pumps like the TPS60403DBVR.
What external components are required for basic operation of the MAX1595EUA50+?
The MAX1595EUA50+ requires exactly three external ceramic capacitors: a 1µF input capacitor (CIN) on IN-to-GND, a 0.22µF charge-transfer capacitor (CX) between CXP and CXN, and a 1µF output capacitor (COUT) on OUT-to-GND. No inductor, diodes, or resistors are needed - enabling ultra-compact layouts with minimal BOM count.
Does the MAX1595EUA50+ provide output disconnection during shutdown?
Yes, the MAX1595EUA50+ fully disconnects the OUT pin from the IN pin when SHDN is driven low. This load-disconnect feature prevents reverse current flow and eliminates parasitic discharge paths, making the MAX1595EUA50+ suitable for systems requiring strict power domain isolation during sleep or standby modes.
How does the AOUT pin function in the MAX1595EUA50+?
The AOUT pin on the MAX1595EUA50+ serves as the analog power and sense input for the internal error amplifier. It must be connected directly to the ground-side terminal of the output capacitor (COUT) to provide accurate feedback of the regulated output voltage - ensuring minimal sensing error and tight regulation under dynamic load conditions.
