Product details
Overview
The MAX1724EZK33 from Maxim Integrated is a fixed-output 3.3V, high-efficiency step-up DC-DC converter in a 5-pin TSOT package, featuring 1.5μA quiescent current, 0.91V guaranteed startup voltage, ±1% output voltage accuracy, and integrated synchronous rectification for single-cell alkaline/NiMH or Li+ battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1724EZK33 datasheet, MAX1724EZK33 pinout, MAX1724EZK33 application, or MAX1724EZK33 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed alternatives, and supply-ready availability details - all specific to the MAX1724EZK33 variant with 3.3V fixed output and TSOT packaging.
Technical Context
The MAX1724EZK33 implements a forced discontinuous, current-limited PFM control scheme with no oscillator, relying on 5μs maximum switch on-time and 500mA N-channel current limit to regulate output. Its low-voltage startup circuit is powered from the BATT pin, enabling reliable operation down to 0.91V input at +25°C.
It integrates an internal damping switch to suppress LX node ringing and reduce EMI, and uses a P-channel synchronous rectifier to eliminate external diode requirements. Shutdown is active-low via SHDN pin, reducing supply current to 0.01μA at +25°C while allowing battery-to-output body-diode conduction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±1% over -40°C to +85°C - ensures stable rail for microcontrollers and sensors without external feedback resistors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 0.8V to 5.5V - supports single-cell alkaline (0.8–1.6V), NiMH (0.8–1.4V), or Li+ (2.7–4.2V) sources without external regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.5μA into OUT - enables >1-year battery life in ultra-low-power remote controls and medical sensors at light load. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.01μA into BATT at +25°C - preserves battery charge during extended standby in portable instrumentation. |
| Startup Voltage | 0.91V minimum at +25°C with no load - guarantees boot-up from nearly depleted alkaline cells before system reset. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA at VIN = 1.5V, VOUT = 3.3V - sufficient to power RF transceivers or LCD backlights in compact handheld devices. |
| Package | 5-pin TSOT (0.9mm height, 1.6mm × 1.6mm footprint) - enables PCB area savings in space-constrained wearables and IoT endpoints. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1724EZK33 is housed in a 5-pin Thin SOT (TSOT) package with 0.65mm pitch, 1.6mm × 1.6mm body, and 0.9mm typical height. Pin 1 is marked by a dot or beveled edge; pin numbering follows standard TSOT top-view convention (counterclockwise from mark).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BATT | Battery input and damping switch connection | Primary power source input; powers low-voltage startup circuit and enables EMI suppression via internal damping switch. |
| SHDN | Active-low shutdown control | Drives low (≤75mV) to enter 0.01μA shutdown; tolerates up to 6V regardless of BATT/OUT voltage - simplifies host MCU interface. |
| GND | Power and signal reference ground | Common return path for switching current and feedback; must connect to low-impedance ground plane within 5mm of CIN/COUT. |
| OUT | Regulated power output and bootstrap supply | Delivers 3.3V to load; also supplies internal bias voltage - requires ≥10μF ceramic capacitor for stability and ripple control. |
| LX | Switch node (N-MOSFET drain / P-MOSFET drain) | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt switching current - demands shortest possible trace to minimize EMI and voltage spikes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Integrated P-channel MOSFET eliminates external Schottky diode - reduces BOM count, board area, and conduction losses by ~0.3V drop. |
| EMI suppression | Internal damping switch clamps LX ringing - lowers radiated emissions without adding components or degrading efficiency. |
| Ultra-low IQ operation | 1.5μA quiescent current into OUT - extends battery life in always-on remote sensors where average load is <100μA. |
| Single-cell startup | 0.91V guaranteed start at +25°C - enables use with aging alkaline batteries down to 0.9V, avoiding premature device shutdown. |
| Fixed 3.3V output | No external feedback resistors required - simplifies layout, improves production yield, and eliminates resistor tolerance drift impact on VOUT. |

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 | Same 3.3V fixed output, but in 6-pin µDFN (2mm × 2mm × 0.75mm); includes NC pin; identical electrical specs. | Requires different PCB footprint and reflow profile; better thermal dissipation but larger area than TSOT. | Select MAX1724ELT33 only when higher power handling or improved thermal margin justifies larger package size. |
| TPS61200DRCT | 3.3V fixed output, 1.8V–5.5V input, 1.2μA IQ, but no internal damping switch; uses external diode in some configurations. | Lacks integrated EMI suppression; may require additional filtering in noise-sensitive RF applications. | Choose TPS61200DRCT if lower IQ is critical and EMI is managed externally; verify LX ringing behavior in final layout. |
Compared with MAX1724EZK33, MAX1724ELT33 offers identical regulation but trades TSOT compactness for µDFN thermal capability, while TPS61200DRCT achieves slightly lower IQ but lacks the integrated damping switch critical for clean RF coexistence.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed minimum startup voltage for MAX1724EZK33?
The MAX1724EZK33 guarantees startup at 0.91V input voltage at +25°C with no load, per the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table. This value increases slightly with temperature and load - e.g., 0.95V at +85°C - but remains functional down to 0.8V input across the full -40°C to +85°C operating range. The MAX1724EZK33 achieves this via a dedicated BATT-powered startup circuit not present in the MAX1723 variant.
Does MAX1724EZK33 require external feedback resistors to set its output voltage?
No, the MAX1724EZK33 does not require external feedback resistors. It is a fixed-output variant delivering 3.3V ±1% over temperature and line, with internal feedback network trimmed at wafer test. Unlike the adjustable MAX1722/MAX1723, the MAX1724EZK33 connects FB internally to the 1.235V reference, eliminating resistor selection, placement, and tolerance errors - a key advantage for high-volume, space-constrained designs.
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by MAX1724EZK33 at 3.3V output?
The MAX1724EZK33 supports up to 150mA continuous output current when stepping up from 1.5V input to 3.3V output, as specified in the Typical Operating Characteristics graphs and confirmed in the Selector Guide. At lower input voltages (e.g., 1.2V), max output current drops to ~100mA due to reduced energy transfer per switching cycle; at higher inputs (e.g., 2.5V), it can sustain 150mA with >85% efficiency.
How does the internal damping switch in MAX1724EZK33 reduce EMI?
The MAX1724EZK33's internal damping switch activates during inductor flyback when stored energy is insufficient to sustain output current, providing a controlled path to dissipate resonant ringing at the LX node. This suppresses high-frequency voltage spikes (typically 50–200MHz) that cause radiated EMI, without affecting output ripple or efficiency - a feature absent in the MAX1723 and critical for passing FCC/CE emissions tests in compact RF modules.
Is MAX1724EZK33 pin-compatible with other devices in the MAX1722/MAX1723/MAX1724 family?
Yes, the MAX1724EZK33 shares identical 5-pin TSOT pinout with MAX1722EZK and MAX1723EZK - BATT, SHDN, GND, OUT, LX in the same order. However, functional compatibility requires verification: MAX1722 lacks SHDN, MAX1723 lacks BATT damping, and only MAX1724 variants include both features plus fixed output. Swapping requires confirming system-level requirements for shutdown control and EMI suppression.
