Product details
Overview
MAX1683EUK+T from Maxim Integrated is a monolithic CMOS switched-capacitor voltage doubler IC designed for low-power, space-constrained applications. It accepts 2.0V–5.5V input, delivers up to 45mA output with ≤600mV drop at 30mA, operates at 35kHz, and achieves 97–99.9% conversion efficiency - ideal for powering LCD bias in handheld PDAs.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1683EUK+T datasheet, MAX1683EUK+T pinout, MAX1683EUK+T application, or MAX1683EUK+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed -40°C to +85°C operation, SOT23-5 package compatibility, 35kHz oscillator frequency, output resistance ≤65Ω, and dual-capacitor simplicity for board-level voltage doubling.
Technical Context
The MAX1683EUK+T implements a two-phase charge-pump topology with integrated power MOSFET switches and oscillator control circuitry. Its 35kHz fixed-frequency operation enables predictable ripple and compact external capacitor sizing (C1 = 3.3µF, C2 = 10µF typical), while internal switch resistance and capacitor ESR jointly determine output impedance.
Unlike linear regulators or inductive boost converters, it requires no inductors and delivers doubled output voltage (VOUT ≈ 2 × VIN − IOUT × ROUT) with minimal quiescent current (145µA typ at +25°C). Output droop and ripple are directly governed by load current, capacitor values, and oscillator frequency - all specified across the full -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | +2.0V to +5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, alkaline, or NiMH battery inputs without regulation. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 35kHz (typ) - enables use of small ceramic flying capacitors (e.g., 3.3µF) and predictable ripple spectrum. |
| Voltage Conversion Efficiency | 97% min / 99.9% typ at +25°C - minimizes power loss and thermal rise in battery-powered systems. |
| No-Load Supply Current | 145µA typ at +25°C - extends battery life in standby or intermittent-use applications. |
| Output Resistance | ≤65Ω (max at -40°C to +85°C) - determines output voltage droop: e.g., 30mA load causes ≤1.95V drop. |
| Output Current Capability | Up to 45mA (absolute max), 30mA typical with ≤600mV drop - sufficient for segment LCD bias or low-power analog rails. |
| Operating Temperature Range | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and portable consumer environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1683EUK+T is housed in a RoHS-compliant, lead(Pb)-free 5-pin SOT23-5 package (outline no. 21-0057), with top mark "ACCM". The package supports standard reflow soldering (260°C) and has a thermal resistance θJA of ~210°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal switches and output current; must connect to low-impedance system ground plane. |
| 2 OUT | Doubled output voltage node | Delivers ~2×VIN; connects directly to reservoir capacitor C2 (to GND) and load; sensitive to layout-induced noise. |
| 3 C1− | Flying capacitor negative terminal | Switches between GND and IN during charge/discharge phases; requires low-ESR ceramic capacitor (e.g., 3.3µF). |
| 4 IN | Input supply voltage | Accepts 2.0V–5.5V unregulated input; bypass with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor close to pin for switching noise suppression. |
| 5 C1+ | Flying capacitor positive terminal | Switches between IN and OUT during charge/discharge; forms charge-transfer path with C1− and internal MOSFETs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-small footprint | 5-pin SOT23-5 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm) - fits tight PCB real estate in portable devices like PDAs and hand terminals. |
| Capacitor-only design | Requires only two external capacitors (C1, C2) - eliminates inductors, reduces BOM count, and avoids EMI from magnetic components. |
| High-efficiency charge pump | 97–99.9% conversion efficiency - preserves battery energy and limits self-heating in sealed enclosures. |
| Guaranteed wide-temp operation | Full electrical specs validated from -40°C to +85°C - ensures reliability in automotive accessory, industrial handheld, and outdoor consumer gear. |
| Low-noise switching profile | Fixed 35kHz oscillator enables predictable filtering and avoids audible noise bands - critical for LCD bias and sensor signal chains. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar voltage-doubling applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1682EUK+T | 12kHz oscillator, 110µA no-load current, 20Ω typical output resistance at +25°C - lower frequency allows larger capacitors but higher ripple. | Better suited for ultra-low-noise, low-power applications where 12kHz switching is acceptable (e.g., medical sensors). | Select MAX1682EUK+T when minimizing quiescent current and EMI sensitivity outweighs need for compact capacitor sizing. |
| TPS60230RGTR | 3-MHz fixed-frequency, 90% min efficiency, 2.7–5.5V input, 40mA output - uses different charge-pump architecture with integrated regulators. | Includes output voltage regulation and soft-start; targets applications requiring tighter output tolerance (<±3%) than unregulated doublers provide. | Choose TPS60230RGTR when regulated 5.0V output is required, not just doubling - adds complexity but improves load transient response. |
Compared with MAX1682EUK+T and TPS60230RGTR, the MAX1683EUK+T offers the optimal balance of compact capacitor sizing (3.3µF C1), moderate quiescent current (145µA), and industrial temperature support - making it preferred for cost-sensitive, space-constrained LCD bias in portable industrial tools.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current specification for MAX1683EUK+T?
The MAX1683EUK+T is rated for up to 45mA output current under absolute maximum conditions, with 30mA specified as the typical usable output delivering ≤600mV voltage drop. Sustained operation above 30mA increases output resistance effects and thermal stress - design margin should be applied based on ambient temperature and PCB copper area.
Does MAX1683EUK+T require external feedback or regulation circuitry?
No, the MAX1683EUK+T is an unregulated charge-pump voltage doubler - its output voltage is approximately 2 × VIN minus IOUT × ROUT, with no feedback loop or regulation. Output stability relies on input voltage consistency and proper capacitor selection; for regulated outputs, external LDOs or alternative ICs like TPS60230RGTR are required.
What are the recommended capacitor types and values for MAX1683EUK+T?
For optimal performance, use X7R ceramic capacitors: C1 = 3.3µF (flying capacitor) and C2 = 10µF (reservoir capacitor), both with low ESR (<100mΩ). AVX TPS and Matsuo X7R series are explicitly recommended in the datasheet. Smaller C1 values (e.g., 1µF) increase output resistance; larger values yield diminishing returns beyond 10µF.
Can MAX1683EUK+T operate below 2.0V input?
Per datasheet Note 2, the MAX1683EUK+T can continue operating down to ~1.0V once started, but startup is only guaranteed above 1.7V (min spec) and fully characterized from 2.0V. For reliable turn-on in low-battery scenarios, ensure VIN ≥ 2.0V at power-up; brown-out behavior below this threshold is not guaranteed.
Is MAX1683EUK+T pin-compatible with MAX1682EUK+T?
Yes, MAX1683EUK+T and MAX1682EUK+T share identical pinout, package (SOT23-5), and terminal functions - they are functionally interchangeable in hardware layout. However, their oscillator frequencies differ (35kHz vs. 12kHz), affecting capacitor sizing, ripple, and efficiency curves; firmware or system-level timing assumptions must be verified.
