Product details
Overview
MAX1730EUB+ from Maxim Integrated is a regulated step-down charge pump IC delivering up to 50mA at fixed 1.8V or 1.9V output from a 2.7V–5.5V input, operating at up to 2MHz with 75µA quiescent current and ±3% output voltage accuracy-designed for compact low-voltage logic supplies in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1730EUB+ datasheet, MAX1730EUB+ pinout, MAX1730EUB+ application, or MAX1730EUB+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 50mA output, dual-mode 1.8V/1.9V pin-selectable regulation, no-inductor architecture, shutdown disconnect functionality, and µMAX package compatibility with high-impedance battery sources like alkaline and Li-ion cells.
Technical Context
The MAX1730EUB+ employs pulse-skipping PFM control and automatically transitions between 1:1, 3:2, and 2:1 flying-capacitor configurations based on input-output voltage ratio to maximize efficiency. Its internal oscillator operates at 1.5–2.5MHz, enabling use of 0.22µF ceramic flying capacitors.
It integrates proprietary soft-start circuitry to limit inrush current during startup and features active-low SHDN with <5µA shutdown supply current. Output disconnect in shutdown mode isolates OUT from IN, placing the output in high-impedance state.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Pin-selectable 1.8V (FB = GND) or 1.9V (FB = IN), ±3% accuracy ensures stable logic rail tolerance |
| Max Output Current | 50mA guaranteed-sufficient for multiple low-power logic ICs or microcontroller I/O banks |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V-supports single-cell Li-ion, alkaline, or regulated 3.3V/5V system rails |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 75µA typical-enables long battery life in always-on or low-duty-cycle portable systems |
| Operating Frequency | Up to 2.5MHz-permits ultra-small 0.22µF flying capacitors and minimizes PCB footprint |
| Shutdown Current | <5µA-reduces standby power loss in battery-powered devices with periodic wake-up cycles |
| No-Inductor Design | Uses only ceramic capacitors-eliminates EMI, size, and cost penalties of magnetic components |
Pinout & Package
The MAX1730EUB+ is housed in a 10-pin µMAX package (3mm × 3mm, 1.09mm max height), thermally optimized without exposed pad and compatible with standard surface-mount assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FB (Pin 1) | Feedback select | Connect to GND for 1.8V output; connect to IN for 1.9V output-no floating allowed |
| SHDN (Pin 2) | Active-low enable | Pull low to disable regulator; OUT disconnects from IN and enters high-impedance state |
| C1P (Pin 3) | Flying cap positive | Switching node for C1 capacitor in all three charge-pump configurations (1:1, 3:2, 2:1) |
| C1N (Pin 4) | Flying cap negative | Return node for C1; tied to GND or OUT depending on phase and configuration |
| GND (Pin 5) | Analog ground | Reference for FB, SHDN, and internal control circuitry-separate from PGND for noise isolation |
| PGND (Pin 6) | Power ground | High-current return path for switching nodes (C1P/C1N/C2P/C2N)-must tie to low-impedance plane |
| C2N (Pin 7) | Flying cap negative | Return node for C2; switches between GND and OUT per phase and configuration |
| C2P (Pin 8) | Flying cap positive | Primary switching node for C2-critical for charge transfer timing and efficiency |
| OUT (Pin 9) | Regulated output | Delivers 1.8V/1.9V up to 50mA; bypass with ≥4.7µF ceramic capacitor for ripple suppression |
| IN (Pin 10) | Input supply | Accepts 2.7V–5.5V; requires local 1µF ceramic decoupling placed adjacent to pin |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar regulated step-down charge pump applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1727EUB+ | Same 10-pin µMAX package and 1.8V/1.9V dual-mode output, but rated for 25mA max output current and 1.2MHz max frequency | Suitable for ultra-low-power logic rails where 25mA suffices; not recommended for 50mA loads or >1.2MHz layout constraints | Select MAX1727EUB+ only when load current ≤25mA and board space allows larger flying capacitors due to lower frequency |
| TPS60230RGTR | TI part offers 1.8V fixed output only (no 1.9V option), 60mA output, 1MHz switching, and requires different flying capacitor values (0.47µF) | Better for higher-current 1.8V-only applications; lacks pin-selectable voltage and 2MHz capability | Choose TPS60230RGTR if 60mA is needed and 1.9V output is unnecessary-verify layout compatibility with 0.47µF caps and 1MHz EMI profile |
Compared with MAX1727EUB+ and TPS60230RGTR, the MAX1730EUB+ uniquely combines 50mA capability, dual 1.8V/1.9V selection, 2MHz operation, and <5µA shutdown current in a 3mm × 3mm µMAX package-making it optimal for space- and efficiency-critical dual-voltage logic supplies.

FAQ
What output voltage options does the MAX1730EUB+ support, and how are they selected?
The MAX1730EUB+ supports two fixed output voltages: 1.8V and 1.9V. Selection is hardware-based via the FB pin-connect FB to GND for 1.8V output, or to IN for 1.9V output. Leaving FB unconnected is prohibited. Both options maintain ±3% output voltage accuracy across temperature and load, and the MAX1730EUB+ automatically configures its internal charge-pump topology to optimize efficiency for the selected voltage.
Does the MAX1730EUB+ require an inductor, and what external components are mandatory?
No, the MAX1730EUB+ is a capacitor-based charge pump and requires no inductor. Mandatory external components include: a 1µF ceramic input capacitor (CIN) placed near IN, two 0.22µF ceramic flying capacitors (C1 and C2) connected to C1P/C1N/C2P/C2N, and a ≥4.7µF ceramic output capacitor (COUT) at OUT. These values ensure stable regulation, low ripple, and full 50mA output capability per the MAX1730EUB+ datasheet specifications.
How does the MAX1730EUB+ behave during shutdown, and what is its shutdown current?
When the SHDN pin is pulled low, the MAX1730EUB+ enters shutdown mode with supply current reduced to <5µA. Critically, the output disconnects from the input-OUT goes to high impedance, preventing backfeed into the source. This behavior protects battery sources and enables true load isolation. The MAX1730EUB+ also incorporates soft-start circuitry that limits inrush current during wake-up, ensuring compatibility with high-impedance alkaline and Li-ion cells.
What is the operating temperature range and package type of the MAX1730EUB+?
The MAX1730EUB+ is specified for operation from -40°C to +85°C and is packaged in a 10-pin µMAX package measuring 3mm × 3mm with a maximum height of 1.09mm. This RoHS-compliant, surface-mount package has no exposed thermal pad and is designed for reflow soldering. Its compact footprint and low profile make the MAX1730EUB+ ideal for ultra-thin portable electronics where board space and component height are constrained.
Can the MAX1730EUB+ operate efficiently across the full 2.7V–5.5V input range while delivering 50mA?
Yes-the MAX1730EUB+ guarantees 50mA output current across its entire 2.7V–5.5V input range and maintains >80% efficiency at 50mA load from 2.7V to 5.5V, as verified in typical operating characteristics graphs. It achieves this by automatically switching between 1:1, 3:2, and 2:1 flying-capacitor configurations based on the VIN/VOUT ratio. Efficiency peaks above 85% near mid-input voltages (e.g., 3.3V–4.2V), and the MAX1730EUB+ sustains regulation without dropout or thermal shutdown under these conditions.
