Product details
Overview
The MAX1697SEUT+T from Maxim Integrated is a monolithic CMOS inverting charge-pump DC-DC converter delivering -1×VIN output with 60mA load capability, 125kHz fixed switching frequency, and ultra-low 12Ω output resistance. It operates from +1.25V to +5.5V input, features logic-controlled shutdown, and targets analog supply generation in space-constrained portable systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1697SEUT+T datasheet, MAX1697SEUT+T pinout, MAX1697SEUT+T application, or MAX1697SEUT+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOT23-6 package footprint, 125kHz oscillator frequency, 12Ω output impedance at 60mA, shutdown current of ≤2nA, and compatibility with only two 1µF ceramic capacitors for minimal BOM count.
Technical Context
The MAX1697SEUT+T implements a four-switch flying-capacitor topology with integrated power MOSFETs to invert input voltage without inductors. Its internal oscillator runs at a fixed 125kHz, balancing efficiency and external capacitor size while minimizing EMI through slew-rate limiting.
It includes thermal shutdown (trip at +150°C, 15°C hysteresis), start-up current limiting (170mA typ), and active pull-down of OUT to GND via 3Ω during shutdown. The device uses low-ESR ceramic capacitors and requires no external compensation.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the exact switching frequency of the MAX1697SEUT+T?
The MAX1697SEUT+T has a fixed internal oscillator frequency of 125kHz, as confirmed by the 'T' suffix in its ordering code and verified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This frequency is factory-trimmed and not adjustable externally. It enables optimal balance between capacitor size (allowing use of 1µF ceramics) and conversion efficiency across the full input voltage range of +1.25V to +5.5V. The MAX1697SEUT+T does not require external timing components.
Does the MAX1697SEUT+T require external diodes or inductors?
No, the MAX1697SEUT+T is a fully integrated inverting charge pump that requires no external diodes or inductors. Its four internal MOSFET switches implement the flying-capacitor inversion topology. Only two external ceramic capacitors (C1 and C2, typically 1µF each) and an optional input bypass capacitor (C3) are needed. This eliminates magnetic components, reduces EMI, and simplifies layout - a key advantage of the MAX1697SEUT+T over inductive DC-DC solutions.
How does the shutdown function work on the MAX1697SEUT+T?
When the SHDN pin of the MAX1697SEUT+T is driven low, the device enters ultra-low-power shutdown mode: switching halts, supply current drops to ≤2nA, and the OUT pin is actively pulled to GND through a 3Ω internal resistor. Driving SHDN high resumes operation, with startup time dependent on oscillator frequency and capacitor values. This behavior is specified across -40°C to +85°C and ensures reliable rail collapse and recovery in battery-powered systems using the MAX1697SEUT+T.
What is the maximum output current capability of the MAX1697SEUT+T?
The MAX1697SEUT+T delivers up to 60mA continuous output current into a resistive load while maintaining regulation within datasheet limits. Short-circuit current is rated at 170mA (typical), and the device includes start-up current limiting to protect weak input sources. Output voltage droop remains below 720mV at 60mA due to its 12Ω typical output resistance. Performance is guaranteed over the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range, making the MAX1697SEUT+T suitable for industrial-grade portable applications.
Which capacitors are recommended for use with the MAX1697SEUT+T?
The MAX1697SEUT+T is optimized for two 1µF X7R ceramic capacitors: C1 (flying capacitor) and C2 (output reservoir). Low-ESR (<0.3Ω) ceramics from AVX (TPS series), Matsuo (267 series), or Sprague (593D/595D) are explicitly recommended in the datasheet. These minimize output resistance and ripple. An optional 1µF input bypass capacitor (C3) is advised to suppress switching noise on the IN rail. Tantalum or aluminum electrolytics are not recommended due to higher ESR and reliability concerns in the MAX1697SEUT+T application.
