Product details
Overview
The MAX1724ELT27+T from Maxim Integrated is a fixed-output 2.7V, high-efficiency step-up DC-DC converter in a 6-pin µDFN package (2mm × 2mm × 0.75mm), featuring 1.5μA quiescent current, ±1% output voltage accuracy over temperature, 0.91V guaranteed startup, and integrated EMI suppression. It operates from 0.8V to 5.5V input and delivers up to 150mA output current, ideal for single-cell battery-powered medical sensors and remote wireless transmitters.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1724ELT27+T datasheet, MAX1724ELT27+T pinout, MAX1724ELT27+T application, or MAX1724ELT27+T equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low IQ, fixed 2.7V output with tight tolerance, shutdown current ≤0.5μA at +25°C, internal synchronous rectification eliminating external diodes, and compatibility with low-input-voltage alkaline/NiMH/Li+ cells.
Technical Context
The MAX1724ELT27+T uses a forced discontinuous, current-limited pulse-frequency-modulation (PFM) control scheme with no oscillator-switching frequency varies dynamically with load. Its 0.5Ω N-channel power switch and P-channel synchronous rectifier enable high efficiency without external components.
It integrates a damping switch on the BATT pin to suppress LX node ringing and reduce EMI, and features a dedicated low-voltage startup circuit powered from BATT, guaranteeing operation down to 0.91V input at +25°C. Shutdown is active-low with logic thresholds of 75mV (VIL) and 800mV (VIH).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.7V ±1% (2.633V–2.767V over –40°C to +85°C); enables stable biasing of 2.7V logic or analog rails without feedback resistors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 0.8V to 5.5V; supports direct operation from one alkaline/NiMH cell (0.9–1.6V) or single Li+ cell (2.7–4.2V). |
| Quiescent Current | 1.5μA into OUT (typical); ensures >85% light-load efficiency at 100μA output, critical for multi-year battery life. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.01μA into BATT at +25°C; reduces system standby drain to sub-nA levels when paired with external load switches. |
| Startup Voltage | 0.91V guaranteed at +25°C (no load); allows reliable wake-up from deeply discharged batteries before regulation begins. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA at VIN = 1.5V, VOUT = 2.7V; sufficient for driving RF transceivers, OLED displays, or sensor signal chains. |
| Package | 6-pin µDFN (2mm × 2mm × 0.75mm); enables compact PCB layout with thermal pad for enhanced power dissipation in space-constrained wearables. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1724ELT27+T is housed in a 6-pin µDFN package (outline 21-0164, land pattern 90-0004) with exposed thermal pad. Pin 1 is marked by a dot; top marking is "ADJ".
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BATT | Battery input and damping switch connection | Accepts 0.8–5.5V input; internal damping switch suppresses LX ringing to meet Class B EMI limits without added snubbers. |
| SHDN | Active-low shutdown control | Pulled low (<75mV) disables switching; pulled high (>800mV) enables operation; tolerates up to 6V regardless of BATT/OUT voltage. |
| GND | Power and signal reference ground | Must be connected to low-impedance ground plane within 5mm of CIN/COUT to minimize noise coupling and ground bounce. |
| FB | Feedback input | Not used on MAX1724ELT27+T (fixed-output variant); left unconnected per datasheet; internally tied to 1.235V reference. |
| OUT | Regulated power output and bootstrap supply | Delivers 2.7V @ up to 150mA; also powers internal gate drivers-requires ≥10μF ceramic capacitor for stability. |
| LX | Switch node (N-FET drain / P-FET drain) | Connects to inductor; exhibits damped ringing due to internal BATT-switch clamp; requires short, low-inductance trace to minimize EMI. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Eliminates need for external Schottky diode-reduces BOM count, board area, and conduction losses by ~0.3V drop reduction. |
| Internal EMI suppression | Damping switch on BATT pin actively quenches LX ringing, lowering radiated emissions without ferrite beads or RC snubbers. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 1.5μA IQ enables >10-year battery life in 10mA-hr coin cells powering intermittent-sense applications (e.g., BLE beacons). |
| Guaranteed 0.91V startup | Starts regulation from single NiMH cell at end-of-discharge (≤1.0V), extending usable battery capacity by 15–20%. |
| Fixed 2.7V output accuracy | ±1% over –40°C to +85°C ensures consistent ADC reference or MCU I/O voltage without calibration drift. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-up DC-DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61200DRCR | Adjustable output (1.8–5.5V); 2.5μA IQ; no internal EMI damping; 5-pin TSOT23 package. | Requires external feedback resistors; less suitable for EMI-sensitive RF modules without added filtering. | Select when adjustable output or smaller TSOT23 footprint is prioritized over lowest IQ or EMI performance. |
| SP6641A-2.7TR | Fixed 2.7V output; 2.2μA IQ; no shutdown; 5-pin SOT23 package; no EMI suppression. | Lacks SHDN pin-requires external MOSFET for system-level power gating; higher IQ reduces battery life in duty-cycled apps. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-shutdown applications where EMI and ultra-low IQ are secondary concerns. |
Compared with TPS61200DRCR and SP6641A-2.7TR, the MAX1724ELT27+T uniquely combines fixed 2.7V ±1% accuracy, 1.5μA IQ, active-low shutdown, and integrated EMI damping-making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-critical, and RF-cohabitant designs.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed minimum startup voltage for MAX1724ELT27+T?
The MAX1724ELT27+T guarantees startup at 0.91V input voltage at +25°C with no load, as confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value degrades slightly to 0.95V at +85°C and improves to 0.83V at 0°C, enabling reliable operation across the full –40°C to +85°C temperature range even with deeply discharged batteries.
Does MAX1724ELT27+T require external feedback resistors?
No, the MAX1724ELT27+T is a fixed-output variant with internal feedback network set to 2.7V. The FB pin is not connected externally and must remain unpopulated per the datasheet; using it would disrupt regulation. This eliminates resistor tolerance errors and saves PCB area versus adjustable alternatives like MAX1722.
How does the internal damping switch in MAX1724ELT27+T reduce EMI?
The MAX1724ELT27+T's damping switch connects between BATT and LX during inductor flyback, providing a low-impedance path to dissipate resonant energy that causes high-frequency ringing. This suppresses radiated EMI peaks above 30MHz without adding external components-verified in Figure 6 of the datasheet.
What is the maximum continuous output current of MAX1724ELT27+T at 1.2V input?
At VIN = 1.2V and VOUT = 2.7V, the MAX1724ELT27+T delivers up to 85mA continuous output current, as derived from the "Maximum Output Current vs. Input Voltage" graph (Figure toc04) and confirmed by efficiency curves showing >75% efficiency at this point. Higher currents require ≥1.5V input.
Can MAX1724ELT27+T be used with a single Li+ cell?
Yes-the MAX1724ELT27+T supports input voltages from 0.8V to 5.5V, fully covering the 2.7V–4.2V discharge range of a single Li+ cell. Its 2.7V fixed output matches common Li+ cutoff voltages, making it ideal for applications needing regulated 2.7V rail after battery protection circuitry.
