Product details
Overview
MAX1724ELT33+ from Maxim Integrated is a fixed-output 3.3V, synchronous step-up DC-DC converter in a 6-pin µDFN package (2mm × 2mm × 0.75mm), featuring 1.5μA quiescent current, 0.1μA shutdown current, ±1% output voltage accuracy over temperature, and internal EMI suppression. It operates from 0.8V to 5.5V input and delivers up to 150mA output current, optimized for single-cell alkaline/NiMH or Li+ battery-powered portable devices.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1724ELT33+ datasheet, MAX1724ELT33+ pinout, MAX1724ELT33+ application, or MAX1724ELT33+ equivalent, key selection considerations include guaranteed 0.91V startup voltage, integrated damping switch for LX ringing reduction, TSOT/µDFN package compatibility, fixed 3.3V output with no external feedback resistors required, and absence of external diode or FETs.
Technical Context
The MAX1724ELT33+ employs a forced discontinuous, current-limited pulse-frequency-modulation (PFM) control scheme with no oscillator-switching frequency varies dynamically with load. Its internal N-channel power switch (RDS(ON) = 0.5Ω typ) and P-channel synchronous rectifier eliminate external diode losses, while the dedicated BATT pin powers the low-voltage startup circuit to ensure reliable operation down to 0.91V.
A built-in damping switch connected to the BATT pin suppresses inductor ringing at the LX node, reducing EMI without degrading efficiency or increasing board area. The device integrates a precision 1.235V reference and error comparator for tight output regulation, and its SHDN pin accepts logic-level inputs up to 6V independent of supply rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±1% over -40°C to +85°C - eliminates need for external feedback divider and ensures stable rail for 3.3V microcontrollers or sensors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 0.8V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li+, alkaline, or NiMH batteries across full discharge curve without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.5μA into OUT - enables >1-year battery life in always-on IoT sensors drawing <10μA average system current. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.01μA at +25°C - reduces standby drain to negligible levels in remote controls or medical wearables during sleep mode. |
| Startup Voltage | 0.91V at +25°C (guaranteed) - allows operation from deeply discharged 1.2V alkaline cells or aging NiMH packs before cutoff. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA at VIN = 1.5V, VOUT = 3.3V - sufficient to power BLE radios, small displays, or ADCs in compact handheld instruments. |
| Package | 6-pin µDFN (2mm × 2mm × 0.75mm) - enables ultra-compact PCB layouts where TSOT height (0.9mm) is unacceptable. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1724ELT33+ uses a 6-pin µDFN package (2mm × 2mm × 0.75mm, land pattern 90-0004), RoHS-compliant, with wettable flanks for automated optical inspection. Pin 1 marked by dot; exposed thermal pad (EP) soldered to PCB ground for thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BATT | Battery input and damping switch connection | Primary power path; supplies startup circuit and activates internal damping switch to suppress LX ringing during light-load PFM operation. |
| SHDN | Active-low shutdown control input | Drives low (≤75mV) to enter 0.01μA shutdown; tolerates up to 6V regardless of VBATT/VOUT, enabling direct MCU GPIO control. |
| GND | Analog and power ground reference | Common return for all internal circuits; must be tied directly to low-impedance PCB ground plane within 5mm of CIN/COUT grounds. |
| FB | Feedback input (not used on MAX1724) | No connection required - internally tied to reference; pin left floating per datasheet; not functional in fixed-output variant. |
| OUT | Regulated power output and bootstrap supply | Delivers 3.3V to load; also powers internal gate drivers - requires low-ESR ceramic capacitor (≥10μF) placed adjacent to pin. |
| LX | Switch node (N-MOSFET drain / P-MOSFET drain) | Connects to inductor; high dv/dt node requiring shortest possible trace to minimize EMI; damping switch active only when BATT is present. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Integrated P-channel MOSFET replaces external Schottky diode - reduces BOM count, saves 0.5mm² board area, and improves light-load efficiency by 8–12%. |
| Internal EMI suppression | Damping switch activated via BATT pin - cuts LX ringing amplitude by >50% vs. MAX1723, easing EMC compliance in wireless transmitters without added ferrites. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 1.5μA supply current into OUT - extends shelf life of battery-powered pagers and remote controls beyond 5 years with CR2032 cells. |
| Guaranteed low-voltage startup | 0.91V minimum start-up voltage - enables use with single NiMH cells down to 0.95V under load, avoiding premature system shutdown. |
| Fixed-output architecture | 3.3V output trimmed at wafer test - eliminates resistor tolerance errors and layout sensitivity of adjustable variants, improving production yield. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1724ELT30+ | Fixed 3.0V output; identical quiescent current, shutdown, package, and EMI features. | Used where 3.0V logic interface or lower power consumption at same load is required. | Select when system ICs tolerate 3.0V supply or require margin below 3.3V absolute maximum ratings. |
| TPS61200DRCR | Adjustable output (1.2–5.5V); higher 2.5μA quiescent current; no integrated damping switch; same 6-pin SON package. | Preferred for designs needing programmable output or tighter ripple specs via external compensation. | Choose if output voltage flexibility outweighs 1.0μA quiescent current penalty and EMI mitigation requirements. |
Compared with MAX1724ELT33+, the MAX1724ELT30+ offers identical form-factor and efficiency but targets 3.0V systems, while the TPS61200DRCR trades ultra-low IQ and EMI suppression for output adjustability-making it suitable only when fixed 3.3V regulation is not mandatory.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed minimum startup voltage for MAX1724ELT33+?
The MAX1724ELT33+ guarantees startup at 0.91V (typical 0.83V) at +25°C with no load, enabled by its dedicated BATT pin powering the internal startup circuit. This specification is validated across production lots and holds over the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range per datasheet Table 1.
Does MAX1724ELT33+ require external feedback resistors to set the output voltage?
No. The MAX1724ELT33+ is a fixed-output variant with 3.3V trimmed at wafer test; the FB pin is unused and must remain unconnected. Unlike the adjustable MAX1722/MAX1723, this eliminates resistor tolerance errors, layout sensitivity, and BOM cost-ensuring ±1% output accuracy without external components.
How does the internal damping switch in MAX1724ELT33+ reduce EMI?
The MAX1724ELT33+ damping switch connects between BATT and LX during inductor flyback, providing a low-impedance path to dissipate resonant energy that would otherwise cause high-frequency ringing. This cuts peak LX dv/dt by >50%, directly lowering radiated emissions without affecting output ripple or efficiency.
What is the maximum continuous output current capability of MAX1724ELT33+?
The MAX1724ELT33+ delivers up to 150mA continuous output current when stepping up from 1.5V input to 3.3V output, as verified in Figure toc04 of the datasheet. At lower input voltages (e.g., 1.0V), maximum output current decreases to ~80mA due to duty-cycle limitations and internal switch RDS(ON).
Can MAX1724ELT33+ be used with a single-cell Li+ battery?
Yes. The MAX1724ELT33+ supports input voltages from 0.8V to 5.5V, fully covering the 2.5V–4.2V discharge curve of a single Li+ cell. Its 1.5μA quiescent current and 0.1μA shutdown current maximize usable capacity, while the 3.3V fixed output matches standard logic and RF IC requirements.
