Product details
Overview
MAX1705ESE+ 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 output in PWM mode for RF power amplifier supply in wireless handsets.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1705ESE+ datasheet, MAX1705ESE+ pinout, MAX1705ESE+ application, or MAX1705ESE+ equivalent, this device is selected for battery-powered portable instruments requiring dual-rail power (noisy switching + ultra-low-noise analog rail), pushbutton on/off control, track-mode efficiency optimization, and guaranteed 1.1V startup voltage across temperature.
Technical Context
The MAX1705ESE+ integrates a synchronous rectified PWM/PFM boost controller with an internal 1A n-channel MOSFET and 270mΩ p-channel synchronous rectifier, enabling up to 96% efficiency and 5% gain over nonsynchronous designs. Its dual-mode operation-300kHz fixed-frequency PWM for low-noise full-power delivery and variable-frequency PFM for <140µA quiescent current at light loads-is controlled directly by the CLK/SEL pin.
It features a dedicated track-mode function (TRACK pin) that dynamically sets the boost output 300mV above the LDO output voltage, reducing power loss in the linear regulator stage. The built-in 200mA LDO uses a 0.5Ω p-channel pass transistor with 1.25V reference and FBLDO feedback, delivering ultra-low-noise power to sensitive analog circuitry such as IF stages and LNAs.

Pinout & Package
MAX1705ESE+ 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. The package supports thermal dissipation up to 696mW at +70°C ambient (derating 8.7mW/°C above).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| LBP (Pin 1) | Low-battery comparator noninverting input | Sets low-battery threshold; common-mode range 0.5V–1.5V; 16mV hysteresis prevents chatter. |
| LBN (Pin 2) | Low-battery comparator inverting input | Compares against LBP; used with external resistive divider to trigger LBO open-drain alert. |
| REF (Pin 3) | 1.250V precision reference output | Sources ≤50µA; requires 0.33µF bypass capacitor for stability and noise rejection. |
| TRACK (Pin 4) | Track-mode control input | When tied to OUT, forces POUT = VLDO + 300mV-reducing LDO conduction loss and improving system efficiency. |
| GND (Pin 5) | Analog and digital ground reference | Common return for FB, FBLDO, CLK/SEL, ONA, ONB; must be low-impedance connection to PGND plane. |
| OUT (Pin 6) | IC power and LDO input | Supplies internal circuitry and LDO pass transistor; bypass with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor near IC. |
| FB (Pin 7) | Boost converter feedback input | Regulates POUT to 1.233V; connects to resistor divider between POUT and GND for output setting. |
| FBLDO (Pin 8) | LDO feedback input | Regulates LDO to 1.250V; connects to resistor divider between LDO and GND for output setting. |
| LDO (Pin 9) | LDO linear regulator output | Delivers up to 200mA; requires 22µF low-ESR (≤1Ω) output capacitor for stability per C6 ESR curve. |
| LBO (Pin 10) | Low-battery open-drain output | N-channel open-drain; pulls low when LBP < LBN; sinks ≥1mA at 0.4V max VOL; requires external pull-up. |
| CLK/SEL (Pin 11) | Mode selection & sync input | Low = PFM (low IQ); high = PWM (300kHz, low noise); external clock = synchronized PWM (200–400kHz). |
| PGND (Pin 12) | Power ground for n-MOSFET source | Separate from analog GND; must be connected to high-current inductor return path to minimize noise coupling. |
| LX (Pin 13) | Inductor switch node | Connects to inductor and Schottky diode cathode; drives internal n-MOSFET drain and p-MOSFET source. |
| ONB (Pin 14) | Off-control input | High + ONA low = shutdown; tied to GND for normal operation; hysteresis ~0.15×VOUT. |
| ONA (Pin 15) | On-control input | High or ONB low = enable; tied to OUT for push-on/push-off button control; hysteresis ~0.15×VOUT. |
| POUT (Pin 16) | Boost converter power output | Source of p-channel synchronous rectifier; supplies LDO and external loads; current shared with LDO draw. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1706ESE+ | 0.5A n-MOSFET switch (vs. 1A); 950mA max inductor limit; lower POUT current capability. | Targeted at lower-power applications (e.g., pagers, handheld instruments) where 850mA is unnecessary. | Select MAX1706ESE+ when system load peaks ≤400mA and board layout prioritizes lower thermal density. |
| TPS61088RHLR | Higher 5.5A switch current; 2.7V–12V input; no integrated LDO; requires external post-regulator for low-noise rail. | Used in higher-input-voltage systems (e.g., 2-cell Li-Ion, USB-PD) where discrete LDO flexibility is preferred. | Choose TPS61088RHLR only if LDO requirements are met externally and input voltage exceeds 3.6V. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required to start up the MAX1705ESE+?
The MAX1705ESE+ guarantees startup from 1.1V at +25°C using its internal low-voltage oscillator. Once regulation is achieved, it continues operating down to 0.7V input due to bootstrapped power from the OUT pin. This makes MAX1705ESE+ suitable for deeply discharged single-cell Li-Ion or multi-cell NiMH battery applications where conventional boost converters fail to start.
How does the TRACK pin improve system efficiency in the MAX1705ESE+?
When the TRACK pin is connected to the OUT pin, the MAX1705ESE+ configures the boost converter to regulate POUT to exactly VLDO + 300mV. This minimizes the voltage drop across the LDO's p-channel pass transistor, reducing conduction loss and heat generation-especially critical during high-LDO-current conditions. This track mode directly extends battery runtime in portable devices powered by MAX1705ESE+.
Can the MAX1705ESE+ drive both the RF power amplifier and baseband processor in a wireless handset?
Yes-the MAX1705ESE+ is explicitly designed for this dual-rail architecture. Its POUT pin delivers up to 850mA at 3.3V (PWM mode) to power noisy RF circuitry, while its integrated LDO provides up to 200mA of ultra-low-noise 3.3V or 2.5V power to sensitive analog/baseband sections. The separation of switching and linear paths within one IC simplifies PCB layout and reduces EMI coupling in wireless handsets using MAX1705ESE+.
What is the purpose of the ONA and ONB pins on the MAX1705ESE+?
ONA and ONB provide dual independent enable controls for pushbutton-driven on/off sequencing. When ONA is pulled high (e.g., tied to OUT), the device turns on; when ONB is pulled high while ONA is low, it shuts down. This allows direct integration of mechanical momentary switches without external logic-enabling true push-on/push-off functionality in battery-powered devices using MAX1705ESE+.
Does the MAX1705ESE+ require external compensation components for stability?
No external compensation is needed for the boost converter-the MAX1705ESE+ uses internal compensation. However, the LDO requires a 22µF output capacitor with ≤1Ω ESR (per Typical Operating Characteristics graph TOC11) for stability across 0–200mA load. Additionally, a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor must be placed close to the OUT pin, and 0.33µF capacitors are required at REF and C5 (LDO bypass) to ensure low-noise operation and PSRR performance in MAX1705ESE+ designs.
