Product details
Overview
MAX1705EEE+ from Maxim Integrated is a high-efficiency, low-noise, synchronous step-up DC-DC converter with integrated 200mA LDO linear regulator and 1A n-channel MOSFET switch. It operates from 0.7V to 3.6V input (1–3 NiCd/NiMH or 1 Li-Ion cell), delivers adjustable 2.5V–5.5V boost output and 1.25V–5.0V LDO output, and supports PWM/PFM mode selection via CLK/SEL pin for RF-sensitive portable instruments.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1705EEE+ datasheet, MAX1705EEE+ pinout, MAX1705EEE+ application, or MAX1705EEE+ equivalent, this device is selected for battery-powered wireless systems requiring simultaneous clean analog power (LDO) and high-current digital/RF rail (boost), with guaranteed 1.1V startup, 96% peak efficiency, and track-mode efficiency optimization.
Technical Context
The MAX1705EEE+ integrates two independent regulation paths: a current-mode PWM/PFM synchronous boost controller (300kHz nominal, synchronizable 200–400kHz) with internal 1A n-channel switch and 270mΩ p-channel synchronous rectifier, and a separate p-channel LDO with 0.5Ω dropout resistance, 1.25V reference, and FBLDO feedback. Both regulators share the same OUT pin as power input and reference point.
Its dual shutdown control (ONA/ONB) enables pushbutton-on/pushbutton-off sequencing, while TRACK pin enables dynamic alignment of boost output to LDO +300mV-reducing switching losses without compromising LDO headroom. The uncommitted low-battery comparator (LBP/LBN/LBO) provides hysteresis-controlled voltage monitoring independent of regulation loops.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Boost Output Range | 2.5V to 5.5V adjustable via FB resistor divider; regulates to 1.233V at FB pin. |
| LDO Output Range | 1.25V to 5.0V adjustable via FBLDO divider; regulates to 1.250V at FBLDO pin. |
| Max Boost Output Current | Up to 850mA (PWM mode, VIN ≥ 2.4V → VOUT = 3.3V); limited by internal 1.28A n-MOSFET current limit. |
| Max LDO Output Current | 200mA continuous; requires ≥300mV headroom (VOUT – VLDO ≥ 0.3V) and stable 22µF/≤1Ω ESR output capacitor. |
| Startup Input Voltage | Guaranteed 1.1V at +25°C; operational down to 0.7V once regulated (bootstrapped from OUT). |
| Quiescent Current | 190µA in PFM low-power mode; 1µA in shutdown; no external bias required for REF or internal reference. |
| Switching Frequency | 300kHz fixed (CLK/SEL = high); synchronizable 200–400kHz; PFM mode varies frequency dynamically under light load. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1705EEE+ is housed in a 16-pin QSOP package (5.3mm × 10.2mm), pin-compatible with industry-standard 16-pin SOIC footprints but with 0.65mm lead pitch. Thermal pad is not present; power dissipation derated at 8.70mW/°C above +70°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| LBP (Pin 1) | Low-battery comparator noninverting input | Accepts 0.5V–1.5V reference voltage; triggers LBO low when battery voltage falls below LBN threshold with 16mV hysteresis. |
| LBN (Pin 2) | Low-battery comparator inverting input | Sets trip point for battery undervoltage detection; common-mode range matches LBP for accurate differential sensing. |
| REF (Pin 3) | 1.250V precision reference output | Stable 1.250V ±12mV source; bypassed with 0.33µF capacitor; supplies bias for FB and FBLDO dividers. |
| TRACK (Pin 4) | Boost output tracking control | When tied to OUT, forces POUT = VLDO + 0.3V-reducing switching loss while preserving LDO regulation margin. |
| GND (Pin 5) | Analog and digital ground reference | Common return for REF, FB, FBLDO, CLK/SEL, ONA, ONB; must be low-impedance connection to PGND plane. |
| OUT (Pin 6) | IC power input and track reference | Supplies internal circuitry; bootstrapped from POUT; used as reference for TRACK mode and LDO input. |
| FB (Pin 7) | Boost output feedback input | Regulates POUT to 1.233V; connects to resistor divider between POUT and GND for output voltage programming. |
| FBLDO (Pin 8) | LDO output feedback input | Regulates LDO to 1.250V; connects to resistor divider between LDO and GND for LDO voltage programming. |
| LDO (Pin 9) | LDO linear regulator output | Delivers up to 200mA; requires 22µF/≤1Ω ESR ceramic capacitor to GND for stability across load range. |
| LBO (Pin 10) | Open-drain low-battery output | N-channel open-drain; sinks current when LBP < LBN; pulled up externally to enable microcontroller wake-up or LED alert. |
| CLK/SEL (Pin 11) | Mode selection and sync clock input | Logic high = PWM (300kHz); logic low = PFM; driven externally = synchronized PWM (200–400kHz). |
| PGND (Pin 12) | Power ground for n-MOSFET source | Separate ground return for high-current boost path; must be connected directly to input capacitor negative terminal. |
| LX (Pin 13) | Switch node (inductor connection) | Connects to inductor and Schottky diode anode; drives internal n-MOSFET drain and p-MOSFET source. |
| ONB (Pin 14) | Active-high shutdown control | Drives high to disable IC when ONA is low; tied to GND for standard operation; enables pushbutton-off functionality. |
| ONA (Pin 15) | Active-high enable control | Drives high to enable IC; tied to OUT for automatic turn-on at power-up; enables pushbutton-on functionality. |
| POUT (Pin 16) | Boost output (p-MOSFET source) | Main power output; feeds LDO input and system loads; current shared with LDO draw; requires 220µF output capacitor. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-up DC-DC converter with integrated LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1706EEE+ | 0.5A n-MOSFET switch (vs. 1A), lower max POUT current (435mA vs. 850mA), identical pinout and feature set. | Better suited for lower-power applications (e.g., pagers, simple sensors) where 200mA LDO + 400mA boost suffices. | Select MAX1706EEE+ when system peak load <450mA and board space or cost optimization is prioritized over headroom. |
| TPS61088RHLR | Single-inductor dual-output (buck-boost + LDO), 5.5A switch, no TRACK mode, no integrated low-battery comparator. | Requires external comparator for battery monitoring; lacks ONA/ONB pushbutton controls; higher quiescent current (300µA vs. 190µA in PFM). | Choose TPS61088RHLR only if dual-output flexibility and higher current capability outweigh loss of integrated battery monitor and ultra-low PFM IQ. |
Compared with MAX1706EEE+, the MAX1705EEE+ delivers double the boost current and maintains identical footprint and control logic; versus TPS61088RHLR, it offers lower PFM IQ, integrated battery monitoring, and track-mode efficiency tuning-but lacks buck-boost topology flexibility.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required to start up the MAX1705EEE+?
The MAX1705EEE+ guarantees startup from 1.1V at +25°C using its dedicated low-voltage oscillator. Once regulation is achieved, it continues operating down to 0.7V input due to bootstrapping from the OUT pin. This enables reliable operation from nearly depleted single-cell batteries in digital cordless phones and handheld instruments.
How does the TRACK pin improve efficiency in the MAX1705EEE+?
When the TRACK pin is connected to the OUT pin, the MAX1705EEE+ configures its boost converter to regulate POUT precisely 300mV above the LDO output voltage. This minimizes the voltage drop across the LDO pass transistor-reducing power dissipation and improving overall system efficiency-while preserving sufficient headroom for full 200mA LDO delivery under all load conditions.
Can the MAX1705EEE+ drive a 200mA load on both POUT and LDO simultaneously?
No-the MAX1705EEE+ shares current capacity between POUT and LDO. Its 1A n-MOSFET limits total available current: if LDO draws 200mA, the remaining POUT current is reduced by that amount (plus LDO dropout losses). For example, with VLDO = 3.3V and VOUT = 3.6V, POUT must supply both LDO bias and system load-so maximum combined output is constrained by thermal and current-limit margins.
What is the purpose of the dual ONA and ONB pins on the MAX1705EEE+?
ONA and ONB provide independent, hysteresis-equipped enable/disable controls: ONA is active-high (tie to OUT for auto-start), ONB is active-high shutdown (tie to GND for default operation). Together they enable true pushbutton-on/pushbutton-off functionality-allowing mechanical switches to sequence power without external logic or firmware intervention in portable devices like PCS handsets.
Does the MAX1705EEE+ require external compensation components for stability?
Yes-the MAX1705EEE+ requires specific external components per function: a 22µF/≤1Ω ESR capacitor at LDO, a 220µF output capacitor at POUT, a 0.1µF ceramic at OUT, and a 10µH inductor (or 22µH for MAX1706). The LDO loop also requires careful attention to C6 ESR-stability is guaranteed only within the region shown in Figure TC11 of the datasheet.
