Product details
Overview
The MAX1724ELT50+T from Maxim Integrated is a fixed-output, 5.0V step-up DC-DC converter IC optimized for single-cell battery-powered systems. It features 1.5μA quiescent current, 0.91V guaranteed startup voltage, ±1% output voltage accuracy over temperature, and integrated synchronous rectification eliminating external diodes. It delivers up to 150mA output current from 0.8V–5.5V input, making it ideal for low-power portable medical devices and remote wireless transmitters.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1724ELT50+T datasheet, MAX1724ELT50+T pinout, MAX1724ELT50+T application, or MAX1724ELT50+T equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low IQ operation, fixed 5.0V output with tight regulation, TSOT/µDFN package compatibility, EMI-suppressed switching, and shutdown current below 0.5μA at +25°C.
Technical Context
The MAX1724ELT50+T employs a forced discontinuous, current-limited pulse-frequency-modulation (PFM) control scheme with no oscillator-switching frequency varies dynamically with load. It integrates an N-channel 0.5Ω power switch and P-channel synchronous rectifier, enabling high efficiency without external diodes.
A dedicated damping switch on the BATT pin suppresses inductor ringing and reduces EMI, while the low-voltage startup circuit draws power directly from BATT to guarantee operation down to 0.91V. Shutdown is active-low, with SHDN threshold of 75mV (min) and 800mV (max), supporting logic-level control.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±1% over -40°C to +85°C - ensures stable rail for 5V microcontrollers or sensors without external feedback resistors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 0.8V to 5.5V - supports direct operation from one alkaline/NiMH cell (0.9–1.6V) or Li+ cell (2.7–4.2V). |
| Quiescent Current | 1.5μA into OUT - enables >1-year battery life in always-on sensor nodes powered by CR2032 or AAA cells. |
| Startup Voltage | 0.91V (min) at +25°C - guarantees reliable boot from nearly-dead single-cell batteries before cutoff. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.001μA into BATT at +25°C - preserves battery charge during extended sleep modes in remote controls or wearables. |
| Output Current | Up to 150mA at VOUT = 5.0V - sufficient to drive BLE radios, OLED displays, or small solenoids in compact handheld devices. |
| Package | 6-pin µDFN (2mm × 2mm × 0.75mm) - enables ultra-dense PCB layouts where TSOT height (0.9mm) is unacceptable. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1724ELT50+T uses a 6-pin µDFN package (2mm × 2mm × 0.75mm, land pattern 90-0004), RoHS-compliant and lead-free. Pin 1 is FB; pin 2 is SHDN; pin 3 is GND; pin 4 is OUT; pin 5 is LX; pin 6 is BATT.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FB | Feedback reference input | Internally tied to 5.0V output - not connected externally; unused in fixed-output variants like MAX1724ELT50+T. |
| SHDN | Active-low shutdown control | Pull low (<75mV) to disable switching; pulls OUT to ~VIN – 0.6V via P-channel body diode during shutdown. |
| GND | Power and signal ground reference | Must be connected to low-impedance ground plane within 5mm of CIN/COUT grounds to minimize noise and ground bounce. |
| OUT | Regulated power output and bootstrap supply | Delivers 5.0V at up to 150mA; also powers internal gate drivers - requires ≥10μF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| LX | Switch node (N-MOSFET drain / P-MOSFET drain) | Connects to inductor; exhibits ringing suppressed by internal damping switch - keep trace short and avoid routing near sensitive analog signals. |
| BATT | Battery input and damping switch connection | Accepts 0.8–5.5V input; powers startup circuit - must connect directly to battery or low-ESR input capacitor (≥10μF). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Eliminates external Schottky diode - reduces BOM count, board area, and conduction losses by replacing 0.3V diode drop with <0.2V MOSFET RDS(ON) drop. |
| EMI suppression | Integrated damping switch on BATT pin - reduces peak-to-peak LX ringing amplitude by >50%, lowering radiated emissions without adding components. |
| Ultra-low IQ | 1.5μA quiescent current into OUT - extends shelf life and operational runtime in energy-harvesting or coin-cell applications where standby current dominates lifetime. |
| Guaranteed startup | 0.91V minimum input at +25°C - enables use with depleted alkaline cells down to 0.9V, avoiding premature system shutdown in pagers or remotes. |
| Fixed 5.0V output | ±1% accuracy over full temperature range - eliminates need for external resistor divider calibration, simplifying layout and reducing test time. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61200DRCT | Adjustable output (1.8–5.5V); higher 2.5μA IQ; no internal damping switch; 5-pin TSOT only. | Requires external feedback resistors; less effective EMI control in space-constrained RF designs. | Select when adjustable output or lower cost is prioritized over ultra-low IQ and EMI suppression. |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed minimum startup voltage for MAX1724ELT50+T?
The MAX1724ELT50+T guarantees startup at 0.91V (minimum) at +25°C with no load, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value degrades slightly at temperature extremes - down to 0.83V at -40°C and up to 0.95V at +85°C - but remains fully functional across the full -40°C to +85°C operating range. The BATT-pin-powered startup circuit enables this performance.
Does MAX1724ELT50+T require external feedback resistors to set its output voltage?
No, the MAX1724ELT50+T does not require external feedback resistors. It is a fixed-output variant with internal feedback network trimmed to deliver 5.0V ±1% over temperature. The FB pin is internally connected and must be left unconnected in PCB layout - unlike the adjustable MAX1722/MAX1723, which require R1/R2 dividers.
How does the internal damping switch in MAX1724ELT50+T reduce EMI?
The internal damping switch in MAX1724ELT50+T connects between BATT and LX during inductor flyback phase, providing a low-impedance path to dissipate resonant energy that would otherwise cause high-frequency ringing at the LX node. This reduces peak EMI emissions by >10dB in the 30–100MHz band without affecting output ripple or efficiency - confirmed in Figures 5 and 6 of the datasheet.
What is the maximum continuous output current of MAX1724ELT50+T at 5.0V output?
The MAX1724ELT50+T delivers up to 150mA continuous output current at 5.0V when supplied from ≥1.5V input, as verified in the Typical Operating Characteristics plot "Maximum Output Current vs. Input Voltage". At lower inputs (e.g., 1.0V), max output drops to ~60mA due to duty-cycle limits and efficiency loss - always verify against actual VIN/VOUT conditions in your design.
Can MAX1724ELT50+T be used with lithium primary batteries such as Li-SOCl₂?
Yes, MAX1724ELT50+T supports input voltages up to 5.5V, making it compatible with lithium thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl₂) primary cells (nominal 3.6V, open-circuit up to 3.9V). Its 0.8V–5.5V input range and 1.5μA quiescent current ensure optimal performance across the full discharge curve of these high-energy-density cells, commonly used in medical telemetry and utility metering.
