Product details
Overview
MAX1724ELT30+T from Maxim Integrated is a fixed-output 3.0V, high-efficiency step-up DC-DC converter in a 6-pin µDFN package (2mm × 2mm × 0.75mm), featuring 1.5μA quiescent current, 0.91V guaranteed startup, ±1% output voltage accuracy over temperature, and integrated synchronous rectification. It is designed for ultra-low-power, single-cell battery-powered systems such as remote transmitters and medical sensors where minimal standby drain and compact footprint are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1724ELT30+T datasheet, MAX1724ELT30+T pinout, MAX1724ELT30+T application, or MAX1724ELT30+T equivalent, key selection considerations include its fixed 3.0V output, 0.1μA shutdown current, internal EMI suppression, TSOT/µDFN package compatibility, and operation down to 0.8V input - all validated for use in space-constrained, battery-life-sensitive designs.
Technical Context
The MAX1724ELT30+T employs a forced discontinuous, current-limited pulse-frequency-modulation (PFM) control scheme with no external oscillator, enabling ultra-low quiescent current and wide-load-range efficiency. Its internal N-channel power switch (RDS(ON) = 0.5Ω typ) and P-channel synchronous rectifier eliminate the need for an external Schottky diode while reducing conduction losses.
A dedicated low-voltage startup circuit powered from the BATT pin guarantees operation from as low as 0.91V input, and an integrated damping switch suppresses LX node ringing to reduce EMI without compromising efficiency. The device operates across –40°C to +85°C and supports up to 150mA output current at 3.0V with 90% peak efficiency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.0V ±1% (2.925V–3.075V over –40°C to +85°C); enables direct replacement of LDOs in 3.0V rail systems without feedback divider. |
| Input Voltage Range | 0.8V to 5.5V; supports single alkaline/NiMH (0.91V startup) or Li⁺ cells without external boost staging. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.5μA into OUT (typ); minimizes battery drain in always-on sensor nodes and remote controls. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.001μA to 0.5μA into BATT (typ 0.01μA at +25°C); extends shelf life and enables deep-sleep modes. |
| Efficiency | Up to 90% at 50mA load (VIN = 1.5V → VOUT = 3.0V); reduces thermal stress and extends runtime in compact enclosures. |
| Package | 6-pin µDFN (2mm × 2mm × 0.75mm); enables PCB area reduction vs. TSOT and simplifies high-density layout. |
| Startup Voltage | 0.91V (typ) at +25°C with no load; ensures reliable wake-up from deeply discharged batteries. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1724ELT30+T is housed in a RoHS-compliant, lead(Pb)-free 6-pin µDFN package (outline 21-0164, land pattern 90-0004), measuring 2.0mm × 2.0mm × 0.75mm with exposed thermal pad. The package supports reflow soldering at +260°C (lead-free).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BATT | Battery input and damping switch connection | Primary power entry point; powers startup circuitry and enables EMI suppression via internal damping switch. |
| SHDN | Active-low shutdown control input | Drives IC into ultra-low-current shutdown (≤0.5μA) when pulled below 75mV; tolerates up to 6V logic levels. |
| GND | Power and signal reference ground | Must be connected to low-impedance ground plane within 5mm of CIN/COUT to minimize noise and ground bounce. |
| FB | Feedback input (not used on MAX1724) | No-connect on MAX1724ELT30+T; left floating or grounded per layout best practice - not tied to OUT. |
| OUT | Regulated power output and bootstrap supply | Delivers up to 150mA at 3.0V; also supplies internal bias for gate drivers - requires low-ESR ceramic capacitor (≥10μF). |
| LX | Switch node (N-MOSFET drain / P-MOSFET drain) | Connects to external 10μH inductor; high dv/dt node requiring shortest possible trace to minimize EMI radiation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Eliminates external Schottky diode, reducing BOM count, board area, and forward-drop losses by ~0.3V. |
| Integrated EMI suppression | Damping switch clamps LX ringing, lowering radiated emissions without adding components or degrading efficiency. |
| Ultra-low startup voltage | 0.91V minimum input enables operation from near-dead alkaline/NiMH cells - critical for long-life remote devices. |
| Fixed 3.0V output | ±1% accuracy over full temperature range eliminates need for external resistor network and calibration effort. |
| 0.1μA shutdown current | Extends battery shelf life beyond 10 years in storage for medical or IoT edge nodes with infrequent wake-ups. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1724ELT33+T | Fixed 3.3V output; identical package, pinout, and electrical specs except VOUT. | Used where system requires 3.3V logic rail instead of 3.0V; not interchangeable without verifying downstream voltage tolerance. | Select MAX1724ELT33+T only if target load accepts 3.3V nominal with ±1% variation; otherwise MAX1724ELT30+T remains optimal. |
| Texas Instruments TPS61200DRCT | Adjustable output (1.5V–5.5V), 2.5μA IQ, 0.3V startup, 5-pin TSOT23; lacks integrated EMI damping. | Offers flexibility for multi-rail designs but requires external feedback resistors and yields higher EMI in sensitive RF environments. | Choose TPS61200DRCT when adjustable output or lower-cost TSOT23 assembly is prioritized over EMI performance and lowest IQ. |
Compared with MAX1724ELT30+T, MAX1724ELT33+T provides identical form-factor and efficiency but targets 3.3V systems, while TPS61200DRCT trades fixed-output precision and EMI suppression for design flexibility and broader output range - making MAX1724ELT30+T the preferred choice for space-constrained, ultra-low-IQ, EMI-sensitive 3.0V applications.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed minimum startup voltage for MAX1724ELT30+T?
The MAX1724ELT30+T guarantees startup at 0.91V (typical) at +25°C with no load, and maintains functionality down to 0.83V minimum across temperature. This is enabled by a dedicated BATT-powered startup circuit, allowing reliable operation from nearly depleted alkaline or NiMH cells - a key differentiator versus competing boost converters lacking this feature.
Does MAX1724ELT30+T require external feedback resistors?
No, MAX1724ELT30+T does not require external feedback resistors. As a fixed-output variant, its 3.0V regulation is implemented internally; the FB pin is unused and must be left floating or grounded per layout guidelines. This eliminates resistor tolerance errors and saves PCB space - unlike the adjustable MAX1722/MAX1723 versions which require R1/R2 networks.
What package type and dimensions does MAX1724ELT30+T use?
MAX1724ELT30+T uses a 6-pin µDFN package (2.0mm × 2.0mm × 0.75mm, outline 21-0164) with exposed thermal pad. It is RoHS-compliant and lead(Pb)-free, rated for +260°C reflow. This compact footprint delivers superior thermal performance and board-area savings compared to the 5-pin TSOT variant, especially in high-density portable designs.
How does the internal EMI suppression work in MAX1724ELT30+T?
MAX1724ELT30+T integrates a damping switch connected between BATT and LX that activates during inductor flyback to dissipate resonant energy, suppressing high-frequency ringing at the LX node. This reduces radiated EMI without adding external components or degrading efficiency - a feature absent in MAX1723 and most competitive boost ICs at this power level.
What is the maximum continuous output current for MAX1724ELT30+T?
MAX1724ELT30+T delivers up to 150mA continuous output current at 3.0V when VIN ≥ 1.5V and ambient temperature is ≤ +70°C. At lower input voltages (e.g., 1.2V), maximum current drops due to duty-cycle limits and efficiency roll-off - refer to Figure toc04 in the datasheet for precise IOUT(MAX) vs. VIN curves across VOUT options.
