Product details
Overview
MAX1724EZK50-T from Maxim Integrated is a fixed-output, 5.0V step-up DC-DC converter optimized for single-cell battery operation (0.8V–5.5V input), delivering up to 150mA output current with ±1% output voltage accuracy and 1.5μA quiescent supply current. It integrates synchronous rectification and internal EMI suppression, targeting ultra-low-power portable devices such as remote wireless transmitters and personal medical instruments.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1724EZK50-T datasheet, MAX1724EZK50-T pinout, MAX1724EZK50-T application, or MAX1724EZK50-T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 0.91V startup voltage, TSOT-5 package compatibility, shutdown current of 0.01μA at +25°C, and absence of external diode requirement due to integrated synchronous rectifier.
Technical Context
The MAX1724EZK50-T employs a forced discontinuous, current-limited pulse-frequency-modulation (PFM) control scheme with no oscillator-switching frequency varies dynamically with load. It uses an internal 0.5Ω N-channel power switch and P-channel synchronous rectifier to eliminate external diode losses.
A dedicated low-voltage startup circuit powered from the BATT pin enables reliable operation down to 0.91V input, while an integrated damping switch suppresses inductor ringing at the LX node to reduce EMI without degrading efficiency or output ripple.

Pinout & Package
MAX1724EZK50-T is housed in a 5-pin Thin SOT (TSOT) package with 0.65mm pitch and 0.9mm typical height, optimized for high-density PCB layouts in portable electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| BATT | Battery input and damping switch connection | Primary power source input; powers startup circuit and enables 0.91V cold-start capability |
| SHDN | Active-low shutdown control | Drives low to reduce supply current to 0.01μA; accepts logic-high up to 6V independent of BATT/OUT |
| GND | Analog and power ground reference | Common return path for feedback, switching, and shutdown circuits; requires low-impedance layout |
| OUT | Regulated power output and bootstrap supply | Delivers 5.0V to load; also supplies internal bias voltage for gate drivers and control logic |
| LX | Switch node connecting internal N-FET drain and P-FET drain | Connects to external inductor; internal damping switch reduces ringing-induced EMI at this node |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous rectification | Eliminates external Schottky diode - reduces BOM count, board area, and conduction losses |
| Internal EMI suppression | Damping switch at LX node cuts inductor ringing - lowers radiated emissions without added filtering |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 1.5μA supply current into OUT - preserves battery energy during idle periods in intermittent-use devices |
| Guaranteed low-voltage startup | 0.91V minimum input at +25°C - enables operation from near-dead alkaline or NiMH cells |
| Fixed 5.0V output | ±1% accuracy over temperature - eliminates need for external feedback resistors and associated layout sensitivity |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61200DRCR | Adjustable output (1.2–5.5V); higher 2.5μA quiescent current; no internal EMI damping switch | Requires external feedback resistors; less suitable for EMI-sensitive RF modules | Select when adjustable output or higher output current (up to 300mA) is required, and EMI suppression is handled externally |
| SP6650ES-L/TR | Fixed 5.0V output; 2.0μA quiescent current; no shutdown pin; 1.0V minimum startup voltage | Lacks active shutdown control; not suitable for systems requiring zero-drain deep-sleep states | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where shutdown functionality is unnecessary and 1.0V startup suffices |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed minimum startup voltage for MAX1724EZK50-T?
The MAX1724EZK50-T guarantees startup at 0.91V input voltage at +25°C with no load, enabled by its dedicated BATT-powered startup circuit. This specification holds across the full -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range, though minimum startup voltage rises slightly at temperature extremes - e.g., ~0.95V at -40°C and ~0.93V at +85°C per typical characteristics.
Does MAX1724EZK50-T require an external Schottky diode?
No, the MAX1724EZK50-T does not require an external Schottky diode. It integrates a synchronous rectifier using an internal P-channel MOSFET, eliminating conduction losses and board space typically needed for discrete diodes. This architecture directly contributes to its 90% peak efficiency and 1.5μA quiescent current performance.
What is the shutdown current specification for MAX1724EZK50-T?
The MAX1724EZK50-T draws only 0.01μA into the BATT pin at +25°C when the SHDN pin is driven low, dropping to <0.1μA at +85°C. This ultra-low shutdown current is critical for applications requiring multi-year shelf life or extended deep-sleep intervals, such as wireless sensor nodes and portable diagnostic tools.
Is MAX1724EZK50-T pin-compatible with other variants in the MAX172x family?
Yes, the MAX1724EZK50-T shares identical 5-pin TSOT pinout with all MAX1722/MAX1723/MAX1724 variants in the same package type (e.g., MAX1724EZK33-T, MAX1722EZK-T). Pin functions - BATT, SHDN, GND, OUT, LX - are fully consistent across the family, enabling drop-in replacement when output voltage and feature set align.
What package type and dimensions does MAX1724EZK50-T use?
The MAX1724EZK50-T uses a 5-pin Thin SOT (TSOT) package with 0.65mm lead pitch and 0.9mm typical height. Its outline matches JEDEC MO-178AA, and the land pattern corresponds to Maxim's recommended footprint 90-0241 - supporting automated assembly and high-density routing in space-constrained portable electronics.
