Product details
Overview
MAX1705EEE+T 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 generates adjustable 2.5V–5.5V boost output from 1–3 NiCd/NiMH or 1 Li-Ion cell (0.7V–3.6V input), supports PWM/PFM mode selection via CLK/SEL, and delivers up to 850mA at 3.3V in PWM mode for RF power amplifiers and analog signal chains in portable wireless devices.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1705EEE+T datasheet, MAX1705EEE+T pinout, MAX1705EEE+T application, or MAX1705EEE+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 1.1V startup, track-mode efficiency optimization (VPOUT = VLDO + 300mV), 1µA shutdown current, and dual pushbutton/microprocessor ON/OFF control via ONA/ONB pins.
Technical Context
The MAX1705EEE+T integrates a synchronous rectified PWM/PFM boost controller with an internal 1A n-channel switch and 270mΩ p-channel synchronous rectifier, enabling up to 96% efficiency and 5% gain over nonsynchronous topologies. Its dual-mode operation-300kHz fixed-frequency PWM for low-noise full-power delivery and variable-frequency PFM for ultra-low-quiescent standby-supports dynamic load adaptation in battery-constrained systems.
It features a dedicated track-mode control (TRACK pin) that dynamically sets the boost output 300mV above the LDO output voltage, minimizing dropout loss across the linear regulator. The built-in uncommitted low-battery comparator (LBP/LBN/LBO) and dual ON/OFF inputs (ONA/ONB) provide system-level power sequencing and battery monitoring without external components.
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 reference for precise setpoint control. |
| LDO Output Range | 1.25V to 5.0V adjustable via FBLDO divider; regulates to 1.250V reference with ±1.25% line/load regulation. |
| Max Boost Output Current | 850mA at 3.3V (PWM mode, VIN ≥ 2.4V); limited by 1.28A n-MOSFET current limit and thermal design. |
| Startup Input Voltage | Guaranteed 1.1V at +25°C; operates down to 0.7V once regulated-enables deep-discharge battery utilization. |
| Shutdown Quiescent Current | 1µA max; reduces system standby power to sub-microwatt level for extended battery life. |
| Switching Frequency | 300kHz PWM mode (±40kHz tolerance); synchronizable to 200–400kHz external clock to avoid RF interference bands. |
| LDO Dropout Resistance | 0.5Ω typical (p-channel MOSFET pass device); enables <100mV dropout at 200mA, improving efficiency vs. bipolar LDOs. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1705EEE+T is housed in a 16-pin QSOP package (5.3mm × 10.2mm), pin-compatible with industry-standard 16-pin SOIC footprints but with reduced height for space-constrained portable designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| LBP (Pin 1) | Low-battery comparator noninverting input | Accepts battery voltage reference (0.5V–1.5V common-mode range); triggers LBO when VLBP < VLBN. |
| LBN (Pin 2) | Low-battery comparator inverting input | Sets threshold for low-battery detection; 16mV hysteresis prevents chatter during voltage sag. |
| REF (Pin 3) | 1.250V precision reference output | Stable 1.250V ±1.25% source for external circuitry; capable of sourcing up to 50µA. |
| TRACK (Pin 4) | Track-mode control input | When tied to OUT, forces VPOUT = VLDO + 300mV-reducing LDO dropout loss and improving overall efficiency. |
| GND (Pin 5) | Analog and digital ground reference | Common return for feedback, control, and LDO circuits; must be connected to low-impedance PCB ground plane. |
| OUT (Pin 6) | IC power supply and LDO input | Supplies internal circuitry and feeds LDO input; bypass with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to IC. |
| FB (Pin 7) | Boost converter feedback input | Regulates POUT to 1.233V; connects to resistor divider between POUT and GND for output voltage programming. |
| FBLDO (Pin 8) | LDO feedback input | Regulates LDO to 1.250V; connects to resistor divider between LDO and GND for LDO output programming. |
| LDO (Pin 9) | LDO linear regulator output | Delivers up to 200mA with <100mV dropout at full load; requires 22µF/≤1Ω ESR output capacitor for stability. |
| LBO (Pin 10) | Low-battery open-drain output | N-channel open-drain flag; pulls low when battery voltage falls below LBN threshold-connects to µC interrupt or LED. |
| CLK/SEL (Pin 11) | Mode selection and sync input | Logic-high = PWM (300kHz); logic-low = PFM (variable frequency); driven externally = synchronized PWM (200–400kHz). |
| PGND (Pin 12) | Power ground for n-MOSFET source | Separate ground return for high-current switching path; must be routed with low-inductance copper to minimize noise. |
| LX (Pin 13) | Inductor switch node | Connects to inductor and Schottky diode anode; drives internal n-MOSFET and p-synchronous rectifier. |
| ONB (Pin 14) | Off-control input | Active-high shutdown control; when ONB = high AND ONA = low, device enters 1µA shutdown state. |
| ONA (Pin 15) | On-control input | Active-high enable; when ONA = high OR ONB = low, device powers up-supports push-on/push-off button interface. |
| POUT (Pin 16) | Boost converter power output | Main switched output (2.5V–5.5V); supplies LDO input and external loads; current shared with LDO draw. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required to start up the MAX1705EEE+T?
The MAX1705EEE+T guarantees startup at 1.1V input voltage at +25°C using its dedicated low-voltage oscillator. Once regulation is achieved, it continues operating down to 0.7V input-enabling full functionality from deeply discharged single-cell Li-Ion or multi-cell NiMH batteries. This behavior is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table and Typical Operating Characteristics (TOC07).
How does the TRACK pin improve system efficiency in the MAX1705EEE+T?
When the TRACK pin is connected to the OUT pin, the MAX1705EEE+T configures the boost converter to regulate its output (POUT) precisely 300mV above the LDO output voltage (VLDO). This minimizes the voltage drop across the LDO's p-channel pass transistor, reducing conduction loss and heat generation-especially critical under high LDO load currents.
Can the MAX1705EEE+T operate without an external Schottky diode?
No-the MAX1705EEE+T requires an external Schottky diode connected from LX to POUT. Although it includes an internal p-channel synchronous rectifier, this device only replaces the freewheeling diode during the off-phase of the switching cycle; the external diode remains necessary for proper current path control and reliability under all operating conditions per the Typical Operating Circuit (Figure 2).
What is the maximum continuous output current the LDO section of the MAX1705EEE+T can deliver?
The LDO section of the MAX1705EEE+T is rated for up to 200mA continuous output current. However, actual deliverable current depends on the voltage differential between POUT and LDO, thermal limits, and the boost converter's ability to supply both LDO input and external POUT loads simultaneously-verified in the "Maximum Output Current vs. Input Voltage" graphs (TOC03/TOC06).
How does the MAX1705EEE+T handle power sequencing between the boost converter and LDO outputs?
At initial power-up, the MAX1705EEE+T enables the LDO only after the boost converter (POUT) reaches regulation-preventing premature LDO activation. However, if input voltage is applied while the device is held in shutdown, the LDO may briefly turn on before POUT stabilizes; to prevent this, hold ONA/ONB inactive until POUT is ready, as specified in the Detailed Description section.
