Product details
Overview
MAX1697REUT+T from Maxim Integrated is a monolithic CMOS inverting charge-pump DC-DC converter in a 6-pin SOT23 package, delivering up to 60mA output current with 12Ω typical output resistance. It accepts 1.25V–5.5V input and generates -1×VIN output voltage, optimized for low-noise analog supply generation from +3.3V or +5V logic rails in space-constrained portable systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1697REUT+T datasheet, MAX1697REUT+T pinout, MAX1697REUT+T application, or MAX1697REUT+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 12kHz oscillator frequency, shutdown quiescent current of 2nA, thermal shutdown at +150°C, and compatibility with 1µF ceramic flying/output capacitors-critical for battery-powered LCD bias and GaAsFET applications.
Technical Context
The MAX1697REUT+T implements a two-phase switched-capacitor inverter topology with integrated power MOSFETs (S1–S4), where C1 charges during phase one and discharges into C2 during phase two to generate inverted output. Its fixed 12kHz switching frequency minimizes EMI while enabling use of small external components.
Internal circuitry includes slew-rate-limited drivers to reduce radiated emissions, start-up current limiting (170mA typ) to protect weak input sources, and active ground pull-down (3Ω) on OUT during shutdown. Thermal shutdown engages at +150°C with 15°C hysteresis, ensuring robust fault protection without external supervision.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 60mA maximum continuous load-supports analog front-ends and RF bias circuits requiring stable negative rail. |
| Output Resistance | 12Ω typical-determines output voltage droop under load; enables ≤120mV drop at 60mA. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 12kHz-low-frequency operation reduces capacitor ESR sensitivity and eases EMI filtering. |
| Input Voltage Range | +1.25V to +5.5V-enables direct operation from single-cell Li-ion, alkaline, or logic supplies. |
| Shutdown Supply Current | 2nA-preserves battery life in always-on portable devices during standby. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | +150°C with 15°C hysteresis-prevents latch-up during sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 6-pin SOT23 (U6F-6), 1.6mm × 2.9mm footprint, RoHS-compliant lead-free construction with '+' pin-1 indicator.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| C1+ | Positive terminal of flying capacitor | Connects to high-side switch node; requires low-ESR ceramic capacitor (e.g., 1µF X7R). |
| OUT | Inverting charge-pump output | Delivers regulated negative voltage; actively pulled to GND via 3Ω during shutdown. |
| IN | Power-supply input | Accepts 1.25V–5.5V; internal current limiting protects weak sources during startup. |
| C1- | Negative terminal of flying capacitor | Completes charge-transfer path; must be routed with minimal loop area for low EMI. |
| GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Single ground plane required; ties internal switches and shutdown circuitry. |
| SHDN | Logic-controlled shutdown input | High = normal operation; low = 2nA shutdown with active OUT pull-down. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low output resistance | 12Ω typical enables 60mA delivery with <120mV droop-critical for precision analog biasing. |
| Slew-rate limited drivers | Reduces high-frequency EMI generation, easing compliance in handheld medical and test equipment. |
| Start-up current limiting | 170mA max prevents brownout of alkaline cells or high-impedance LDOs during power-on. |

FAQ
What is the exact oscillator frequency of the MAX1697REUT+T?
The MAX1697REUT+T features a factory-trimmed fixed oscillator frequency of 12kHz, as confirmed by the 'R' suffix in the part number and electrical characteristics tables. This low frequency reduces electromagnetic interference and allows use of cost-effective 1µF ceramic capacitors while maintaining 60mA output capability. The 12kHz operation is fully characterized across -40°C to +85°C and does not require external timing components.
Does the MAX1697REUT+T require external diodes or inductors?
No, the MAX1697REUT+T is a fully integrated capacitive charge pump requiring only two external 1µF ceramic capacitors (C1 and C2) and optionally an input bypass capacitor. It contains all necessary power MOSFET switches, oscillator, and control logic on-die. Unlike inductive DC-DC converters, it eliminates magnetic components, reducing solution size, cost, and EMI concerns-making it ideal for space-constrained portable designs.
How does the shutdown function work on the MAX1697REUT+T?
When the SHDN pin is driven low, the MAX1697REUT+T enters micropower shutdown mode drawing only 2nA supply current, halting internal switching, and actively pulling the OUT pin to ground through a 3Ω internal resistor. Driving SHDN high resumes operation with a controlled start-up sequence that limits inrush current to 170mA typical. This behavior is verified across temperature and ensures safe, predictable state transitions in battery-powered systems.
What is the maximum output current capability of the MAX1697REUT+T?
The MAX1697REUT+T delivers up to 60mA continuous output current into a resistive load, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. This rating assumes proper thermal management (≤+85°C ambient), 1µF low-ESR ceramic capacitors, and input voltage within 1.25V–5.5V. Short-circuit current is 170mA, and thermal shutdown activates at +150°C junction temperature to protect against overload conditions.
Can the MAX1697REUT+T be used to generate voltages other than -1×VIN?
The MAX1697REUT+T is designed exclusively as a -1×VIN inverter and cannot produce doubler (+2×VIN) or fractional outputs without external circuitry. However, multiple MAX1697REUT+T units can be cascaded to achieve -2×VIN or -3×VIN (Figure 4), or combined with diode-capacitor networks for hybrid topologies. Such configurations require careful derating of output current and verification of startup sequencing per the Applications Information section.
