Product details
Overview
The MAX1724EZK27+T from Maxim Integrated is a fixed-output, 2.7V 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. It is used in ultra-low-power remote controls and medical sensors where minimal standby drain and compact size are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1724EZK27+T datasheet, MAX1724EZK27+T pinout, MAX1724EZK27+T application, or MAX1724EZK27+T equivalent, key selection criteria include fixed 2.7V output, TSOT-5 package compatibility, shutdown current ≤0.5µA at +25°C, EMI suppression via internal damping switch, and operation down to 0.8V input.
Technical Context
The MAX1724EZK27+T employs a forced discontinuous, current-limited PFM control scheme with no oscillator-switching frequency varies dynamically with load. Its 0.5Ω N-channel power switch and integrated P-channel synchronous rectifier eliminate external diodes while maintaining high light-load efficiency.
It integrates a dedicated damping switch on the BATT pin to suppress LX node ringing and reduce EMI without degrading efficiency. Startup is powered directly from BATT, enabling reliable operation from 0.91V input-critical for aging alkaline or NiMH cells.
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 direct replacement of 2.7V LDOs without feedback resistors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 0.8V to 5.5V; supports single-cell alkaline/NiMH (0.9–1.6V) and Li+ (2.7–4.2V) without external biasing. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.5µA into OUT (typical); ensures >1-year battery life in 10µA average-load applications like IR remotes. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.01µA into BATT at +25°C; reduces system standby loss to negligible levels in always-on sensor nodes. |
| Startup Voltage | 0.91V (guaranteed at +25°C, RL = 3kΩ); allows functional operation even as primary cell voltage drops below 1.0V. |
| Efficiency | Up to 90% at 150mA load; maintains >80% efficiency down to 100µA due to PFM architecture and synchronous rectification. |
| Package | 5-pin TSOT (0.9mm height, 1.6mm × 1.6mm footprint); compatible with high-density PCB layouts and reflow assembly. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1724EZK27+T uses a 5-pin Thin SOT (TSOT) package with 0.65mm pitch and 0.9mm typical height. Pin 1 is unmarked corner adjacent to chamfered edge; pin numbering follows standard TSOT counterclockwise convention.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BATT | Battery input and damping switch connection | Accepts 0.8–5.5V input; powers startup circuit and hosts internal damping switch to suppress LX ringing and reduce EMI. |
| SHDN | Active-low shutdown control | Drives low (≤75mV) to enter 0.01µA shutdown; tolerates up to 6V logic high regardless of BATT/OUT voltage. |
| GND | Analog and power 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 up to 150mA at 2.7V; supplies internal gate drive; requires ≥10µF ceramic output capacitor for stability. |
| LX | Switch node (N-MOSFET drain / P-MOSFET drain) | Connects to external 10µH inductor; exhibits damped ringing during light load; must be routed short and away from sensitive analog traces. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Integrated P-channel MOSFET eliminates external Schottky diode-reducing BOM cost and board area by ~2mm². |
| EMI suppression | Internal BATT-connected damping switch reduces LX ringing amplitude by >50%, easing EMC compliance without added components. |
| Ultra-low IQ architecture | 1.5µA quiescent current into OUT enables >10-year shelf life in battery-backed memory or real-time clock circuits. |
| Guaranteed low-voltage startup | 0.91V minimum startup (tested, not typical) ensures reliable wake-up from deeply discharged single-cell batteries. |
| Fixed-output precision | ±1% output tolerance over full temperature range eliminates need for post-production calibration in portable instrumentation. |
Applications
| Remote Controls | Personal Medical Sensors |

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, 6-pin SON package. | Requires external feedback resistors; less suitable for space-constrained 2.7V-only designs; higher EMI risk without layout mitigation. | Select only if adjustable output or higher output current (>200mA) is required; verify EMI performance in final layout. |
| SP6641A-2.7TR | Fixed 2.7V output, 2.2µA IQ, no shutdown, 5-pin SOT-23 package, no EMI damping. | Lacks SHDN pin-cannot achieve sub-µA system sleep; no BATT damping switch increases radiated emissions in noisy environments. | Use only in cost-sensitive, non-regulated shutdown applications where EMI is not a compliance concern. |
Compared with TPS61200DRCT and SP6641A-2.7TR, the MAX1724EZK27+T uniquely combines fixed 2.7V precision, lowest quiescent current, integrated EMI suppression, and active shutdown-all in the smallest TSOT-5 footprint, making it optimal for battery longevity and regulatory certification in compact portable devices.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed minimum startup voltage for MAX1724EZK27+T?
The MAX1724EZK27+T guarantees startup at 0.91V input (measured at +25°C with 3kΩ load), verified across production lots. This specification ensures reliable operation even as alkaline or NiMH cells discharge below 1.0V, and is enabled by the BATT-powered startup circuit-not the OUT pin.
Does MAX1724EZK27+T require external components for basic operation?
Yes-the MAX1724EZK27+T requires an external 10µH inductor between LX and VIN, a 10µF ceramic input capacitor at BATT, and a 10µF ceramic output capacitor at OUT. No feedback resistors are needed since the 2.7V output is internally fixed; the SHDN pin may be tied to BATT for always-on operation.
How does the internal damping switch in MAX1724EZK27+T reduce EMI?
The MAX1724EZK27+T's damping switch connects between BATT and LX during inductor flyback, providing a controlled path to dissipate resonant energy. This reduces peak-to-peak ringing amplitude at LX by >50% compared to undamped operation, lowering broadband radiated emissions without affecting output ripple or efficiency.
What is the maximum continuous output current of MAX1724EZK27+T?
The MAX1724EZK27+T delivers up to 150mA continuously at 2.7V output when VIN ≥ 1.5V and ambient temperature is ≤+70°C. At lower input voltages (e.g., 1.0V), maximum output current decreases to ~60mA due to duty-cycle and switch-current-limit constraints-see Figure toc04 in the datasheet.
Is MAX1724EZK27+T RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes-MAX1724EZK27+T carries a "+" suffix indicating RoHS-compliant, lead-free construction. It is qualified for Pb-free reflow soldering at +260°C peak temperature per JEDEC J-STD-020, and its TSOT package meets IPC/JEDEC standard land patterns for automated assembly.
