Product details
Overview
MAX1674EUA-TG069 from Maxim Integrated is an 8-pin µMAX packaged, synchronous step-up DC-DC converter optimized for single-cell battery-powered devices. It delivers up to 300mA output current at 3.3V or 5V (pin-selectable), features 16µA quiescent current, a 1A internal N-channel MOSFET switch with 0.3Ω RDS(ON), and guaranteed start-up from 1.1V input. It is used in pagers, wireless phones, and hand-held medical devices requiring compact, high-efficiency boost conversion.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1674EUA-TG069 datasheet, MAX1674EUA-TG069 pinout, MAX1674EUA-TG069 application, or MAX1674EUA-TG069 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, confirmed pin functions, real-world operating limits, and validated alternative options for low-voltage boost power design.
Technical Context
The MAX1674EUA-TG069 implements a minimum-off-time, current-limited PFM control scheme-no oscillator required-with fixed 1A peak switch current and typical 1µs minimum off-time. Its internal synchronous rectifier replaces external Schottky diodes, reducing losses and board area while enabling 94% efficiency at 200mA load.
It integrates a 1.30V reference (±2.5mV tolerance), dual-mode feedback (FB tied to GND for 5V or OUT for 3.3V), LBI/LBO low-battery detection, and logic-controlled shutdown drawing only 0.1µA. Input voltage range is 0.7V to VOUT, with guaranteed start-up at 1.1V (with optional external diode).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Pin-selectable 3.3V or 5.0V; adjustable from 2.0V to 5.5V via resistor divider on FB pin |
| Max Output Current | 300mA steady-state at 3.3V (VIN ≥ 2.4V); limited by thermal dissipation and 1A switch current |
| Quiescent Current | 16µA operating current enables >1-year battery life in low-duty-cycle portable devices |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1µA into OUT pin ensures minimal battery drain during system sleep mode |
| Switch RDS(ON) | 0.3Ω typical (N-channel) minimizes conduction loss and improves efficiency at medium loads |
| Start-Up Voltage | Guaranteed 1.1V (with external Schottky diode); functional down to 0.9V per characterization |
| Efficiency | 94% at 200mA output (VIN = 2.4V → VOUT = 5V), critical for extending alkaline/NiMH cell runtime |
Pinout & Package
MAX1674EUA-TG069 is housed in an 8-pin µMAX package (3mm × 3mm, 0.8mm height), thermally enhanced with exposed pad (not electrically connected). Pin 1 is marked with dot; top-view orientation matches standard µMAX layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 FB | Dual-mode feedback input | Connect to GND for 5V output; to OUT for 3.3V; use resistor divider for adjustable outputs (2–5.5V) |
| 2 LBI | Low-battery comparator input | Internal 1.30V threshold; monitors battery voltage via external resistor divider (e.g., R3/R4) |
| 3 LBO | Open-drain low-battery output | Sinks current when LBI < 1.30V; requires 100kΩ pull-up to OUT; high-impedance in shutdown |
| 4 REF | 1.30V precision reference output | Bypass with 0.1µF capacitor; sources ≤100µA; ±2.5mV accuracy over temperature |
| 5 SHDN | Logic-controlled shutdown input | Drive <0.2×VOUT for shutdown (0.1µA ISHDN); drive >0.8×VOUT for operation |
| 6 GND | Power and signal ground | Primary return path; must be short-connected to input/output capacitor grounds (<5mm) |
| 7 LX | Switch node (N/P-channel drain) | Connects to inductor; exhibits ringing without damping (MAX1676 only has damping switch) |
| 8 OUT | Regulated power output | Provides bootstrap supply to IC; drives load and external LBO pull-up; max 6.0V absolute rating |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Eliminates external Schottky diode-reduces BOM cost, PCB area, and forward-drop losses |
| PFM control architecture | No oscillator; variable frequency (up to 500kHz); maintains high efficiency across 10µA–300mA load range |
| Low-battery detection | Integrated LBI/LBO comparator with 1.30V reference enables system-level battery monitoring without extra IC |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 16µA operating current extends shelf life and runtime in intermittent-use portable equipment |
| Single-cell start-up support | Operates from 0.7V input; guaranteed 1.1V start-up with MBR0520 diode-enables full discharge of NiMH/alkaline cells |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-up DC-DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61200DRCT | Fixed 3.3V output; 1.8V min input; 1.2A switch current; 2.5µA quiescent current | Lacks LBI/LBO, adjustable FB, and dual-mode preset; no low-battery monitor integration | Preferred when ultra-low IQ dominates design priority and battery monitoring is handled externally |
| LT1930ES5#TRMPBF | 500kHz fixed-frequency PWM; 1.2A switch; 100µA quiescent current; 0.9V min start-up | Higher IQ reduces battery life; no integrated reference or LBO; requires external feedback resistors | Chosen for EMI-sensitive environments where fixed-frequency operation simplifies filtering |
Compared with MAX1674EUA-TG069, TPS61200DRCT offers lower quiescent current but omits battery monitoring, while LT1930ES5#TRMPBF provides predictable EMI profile at the cost of 6× higher operating current-making MAX1674EUA-TG069 optimal for space-constrained, battery-aware portable systems.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for MAX1674EUA-TG069 to start up?
The MAX1674EUA-TG069 guarantees start-up from 1.1V input when used with an external Schottky diode (e.g., MBR0520) between LX and OUT. Without the diode, start-up is functional down to 0.9V per characterization data, though not production-guaranteed. The device operates continuously from 0.7V to VOUT, making it ideal for deeply discharged alkaline or NiMH cells.
How does the MAX1674EUA-TG069 achieve 94% efficiency at 200mA?
The MAX1674EUA-TG069 achieves 94% efficiency at 200mA through three key features: a 0.3Ω RDS(ON) internal N-channel MOSFET switch, integrated synchronous rectification (eliminating Schottky diode forward drop), and a PFM control scheme that minimizes switching losses at light-to-moderate loads. These reduce both conduction and switching losses simultaneously.
Can the output voltage of MAX1674EUA-TG069 be adjusted beyond 3.3V and 5.0V presets?
Yes, the MAX1674EUA-TG069 supports adjustable output voltages from 2.0V to 5.5V using a resistor divider from OUT to FB to GND. The FB pin senses a fraction of VOUT referenced to the internal 1.30V bandgap; selecting R5 and R6 per the equation R5 = R6 × (VOUT/1.3 − 1) sets the desired output precisely.
What is the function of the LBI and LBO pins on MAX1674EUA-TG069?
The LBI (Low-Battery Input) pin connects to a resistor divider across the battery to sense voltage; it trips when voltage falls below the internal 1.30V reference. The LBO (Low-Battery Output) pin is an open-drain output that sinks current when LBI < 1.30V-enabling system-level battery exhaustion alerts without additional comparators. MAX1674EUA-TG069 integrates this function directly.
Is MAX1674EUA-TG069 pin-compatible with MAX1675EUA or MAX1676EUB?
No, MAX1674EUA-TG069 is not pin-compatible with MAX1675EUA (same 8-pin µMAX but different CLSEL/LX pin mapping) or MAX1676EUB (10-pin µMAX with added CLSEL and BATT pins). Pin configurations differ across the family: MAX1674/MAX1675 share 8-pin layout, while MAX1676 uses 10 pins and adds damping control. Always verify pinout per device datasheet before PCB reuse.
