Product details
Overview
MAX1697SEUT-T from Maxim Integrated is a monolithic CMOS inverting charge-pump DC-DC converter delivering -1×VIN output with 60mA load capability, 12Ω typical output resistance, and 250kHz fixed switching frequency. It operates from +1.25V to +5.5V input, features logic-controlled shutdown, and targets space-constrained analog biasing in portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1697SEUT-T datasheet, MAX1697SEUT-T pinout, MAX1697SEUT-T application, or MAX1697SEUT-T equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, validated SOT23-6 pin mapping, confirmed 250kHz oscillator behavior, real-world efficiency vs. load curves, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for negative rail generation.
Technical Context
The MAX1697SEUT-T implements a two-phase switched-capacitor inverter using four on-chip power MOSFETs to generate regulated negative voltage without inductors. Its internal oscillator runs at 250kHz (U-suffix), enabling compact 0.47µF flying and reservoir capacitors while maintaining ≤12Ω output impedance across -40°C to +85°C.
Shutdown mode actively pulls OUT to GND via 3Ω internal switch and reduces supply current to 2nA. Thermal shutdown activates at +150°C with 15°C hysteresis, and startup current is limited to 170mA (typ) to protect weak input sources like alkaline batteries.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 60mA maximum continuous - supports analog op-amp rails and GaAsFET bias circuits without external boost. |
| Output Resistance | 12Ω typical - ensures ≤0.72V drop at full 60mA load, critical for stable negative reference generation. |
| Switching Frequency | 250kHz - enables use of 0.47µF ceramic capacitors, reducing board area versus lower-frequency variants. |
| Input Voltage Range | +1.25V to +5.5V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, 3.3V logic, and 5V USB-powered systems. |
| Shutdown Supply Current | 2nA - preserves battery life in always-on portable devices during sleep states. |
| Efficiency | Up to 99.9% - achieved at light loads; drops to ~90% at 60mA due to fixed quiescent current and ROUT losses. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and automotive cabin applications. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1697SEUT-T is housed in a 6-pin SOT23 package (package code U6F-6), measuring 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, with pin 1 marked by a '+' for RoHS-compliant lead-free assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| C1+ | Positive terminal of flying capacitor | Connects to high-side switch node; requires low-ESR ceramic capacitor (0.47µF recommended). |
| OUT | Inverting charge-pump output | Delivers regulated -VIN; internally shorted to GND in shutdown mode via 3Ω switch. |
| IN | Power-supply input | Accepts +1.25V to +5.5V; supplies all internal circuitry and charge-pump energy. |
| C1- | Negative terminal of flying capacitor | Completes charge-transfer path; tied to IN during first phase, to OUT during second phase. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for input, output, and internal logic; must connect to low-impedance ground plane. |
| SHDN | Logic-controlled shutdown input | Drive ≥2.0V for normal operation; ≤0.6V for shutdown - compatible with 3.3V/5V GPIO. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 250kHz fixed oscillator | Enables smallest possible external capacitors (0.47µF) while maintaining <12Ω output impedance at 60mA. |
| Active output pull-down in shutdown | 3Ω internal switch forces OUT to GND, preventing floating negative rail that could damage downstream analog ICs. |
| Startup current limiting | 170mA max start-up surge protects alkaline cells and low-current LDOs from brownout during power-on. |
| Slew-rate controlled switching | Reduces EMI emissions by limiting edge rates - critical for meeting CISPR-22 Class B radiated emissions limits. |
| Thermal shutdown protection | +150°C trip with 15°C hysteresis prevents latch-up under sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar inverting charge-pump applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1697TEUT-T | 125kHz oscillator; higher 17Ω output resistance; requires 1µF capacitors instead of 0.47µF. | Better noise performance at lower frequency; suited for noise-sensitive audio bias where ripple <5mV is required. | Select when EMI filtering priority outweighs board area constraints. |
| MAX1720EUT-T | Pin-compatible SOT23-6; 25mA output limit; 125kHz; optimized for ultra-low IQ (150µA) rather than high current. | Designed for micropower sensor nodes - insufficient for 60mA LCD panel bias but ideal for IOUT < 25mA applications. | Choose only if load current ≤25mA and quiescent current < 200µA is mandatory. |
Compared with MAX1697SEUT-T, MAX1697TEUT-T trades switching speed for lower EMI and larger capacitors, while MAX1720EUT-T sacrifices output current for sub-200µA operating current - neither is pin- or functionally identical, but both serve adjacent niches in Maxim's charge-pump portfolio.

FAQ
What is the exact switching frequency of MAX1697SEUT-T?
The MAX1697SEUT-T has a fixed 250kHz oscillator frequency, as designated by the 'U' suffix in its part number. This is confirmed in the Ordering Information table and Typical Operating Characteristics plots (TOC16), where MAX1697U shows 250kHz across -40°C to +85°C. The frequency tolerance is ±20% over temperature and supply voltage.
Does MAX1697SEUT-T require external components to operate?
Yes, MAX1697SEUT-T requires two external 0.47µF ceramic capacitors: one flying capacitor (C1) between C1+ and C1-, and one output reservoir capacitor (C2) between OUT and GND. A 0.47µF input bypass capacitor (C3) is recommended but optional. No inductors or diodes are needed.
How does MAX1697SEUT-T behave during shutdown?
When SHDN is driven low, MAX1697SEUT-T halts switching, reduces supply current to 2nA, and actively pulls the OUT pin to GND through an internal 3Ω switch. This prevents the negative output from floating and ensures safe biasing of downstream analog components during sleep modes.
Can MAX1697SEUT-T generate output voltages other than -VIN?
No - MAX1697SEUT-T is strictly a -1×VIN inverter. Its architecture produces VOUT ≈ -VIN, with deviation due to output resistance and load (e.g., -4.28V at 60mA with 5V input). For -2×VIN or positive doubling, refer to MAX865 or MAX868; for cascading, see Figure 4 in the datasheet.
Is MAX1697SEUT-T RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, MAX1697SEUT-T carries the '+T' suffix, indicating it is RoHS-compliant and lead-free per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The top mark uses a '+' symbol for pin 1 identification, and the package material meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 requirements.
