Product details
Overview
MAX1763EEE+T from Maxim Integrated is a synchronous-rectified, 1MHz step-up DC-DC converter optimized for battery-powered wireless devices. It delivers up to 1.5A output at fixed 3.3V or adjustable 2.5V–5.5V, operates from 0.7V–5.5V input (guaranteed startup at 1.1V), and achieves up to 94% efficiency with 110µA no-load quiescent current in low-power mode. It is used in digital cordless phones and handheld instruments requiring long battery life and low-noise power.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1763EEE+T datasheet, MAX1763EEE+T pinout, MAX1763EEE+T application, or MAX1763EEE+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 1.1V startup voltage, 16-pin QSOP package with exposed thermal pad option, Idle Mode™ efficiency optimization, forced-PWM noise control, and integrated analog gain block for linear regulator or low-battery comparator functions.
Technical Context
The MAX1763EEE+T implements a synchronous boost topology using an internal N-channel MOSFET switch and P-channel synchronous rectifier (130mΩ typical on-resistance). Its dual-mode operation-Idle Mode™ for light loads and fixed-frequency PWM at medium/heavy loads-enables high efficiency across 0.02A–1.5A output range while maintaining 1MHz switching frequency in forced-PWM mode.
It integrates a 1.25V precision reference, programmable current limit via ISET pin, soft-start control, and a transconductance gain block (10mS nominal) with AIN/AO terminals. The gain block supports external P-channel linear regulators or low-battery detection with 0.938V internal reference and ±30nA input bias current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 0.7V to 5.5V - supports single Li+, one-to-three alkaline/NiCd/NiMH cells; bootstrapped operation enables continued regulation down to 0.7V after startup. |
| Guaranteed Startup Voltage | 1.1V at +25°C - ensures reliable turn-on from deeply discharged batteries without external assist circuitry. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V (FB grounded) or adjustable 2.5V–5.5V (via resistor divider) - FB regulation setpoint is 1.245V with <100nA input bias for high-accuracy feedback. |
| Switching Frequency | 1MHz (typical, CLK/SEL = OUT) - enables use of small 1.5µH inductors and low-ESR ceramic capacitors for compact PCB layout. |
| Peak Output Current | 1.5A - achievable with VIN ≥2.4V and VOUT = 3.3V; limited by internal N-channel current limit (2.0–3.4A) and thermal design. |
| No-Load Quiescent Current | 110µA (typical, Idle Mode™) - extends battery runtime in standby or intermittent-use applications like wireless handsets. |
| Shutdown Current | 1µA (max) - achieved when ONA = low and ONB = high; enables ultra-low-power system-level sleep states. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX1763EEE+T is housed in a 16-pin QSOP package (5.0mm × 10.2mm, 1.0mm height) with standard lead pitch of 0.65mm. Thermal performance is optimized via internal die attachment to the leadframe; no exposed pad is present (unlike TSSOP-EP variant).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (ONA) | On Control Input | Active-high enable; tied to OUT for default operation; provides hysteresis (~0.15×VOUT) to prevent chatter during marginal supply conditions. |
| 2 (ISET) | Current Limit & Soft-Start Control | Adjusts peak inductor current (2.5A max when tied to REF); capacitor to GND enables controlled output voltage ramp-up to limit inrush. |
| 3 (REF) | 1.25V Reference Bypass | Requires 0.22µF ceramic capacitor within 5mm; sources up to 50µA for external biasing or feedback networks. |
| 4 (GND) | Analog Ground Reference | Low-impedance return for REF, FB, and AIN; must be short-traced to PGND to minimize noise coupling into sensitive analog nodes. |
| 5 (FB) | Feedback Input | Sets output voltage via resistive divider (1.245V threshold); <100nA input current allows high-value resistors without accuracy loss. |
| 6 (OUT) | IC Power Supply Input | Derives internal bias from POUT via series 4.7Ω resistor; bypassed with 1.0µF ceramic capacitor to stabilize gate drive and reference circuits. |
| 7 (AIN) | Gain Block Input | Accepts voltage for comparator or linear regulator function; 0.938V internal reference enables low-battery detection with ±30nA input bias. |
| 8 (AO) | Gain Block Output | Open-drain N-channel output; sinks current when VAIN < 0.75×VREF; high-Z during shutdown or when AIN = OUT. |
| 9 (CLK/SEL) | Mode Selection & Clock Input | Selects Idle Mode™ (low), forced-PWM (high), or external sync (500kHz–1.2MHz); controls noise spectrum and light-load behavior. |
| 10,12 (PGND) | Power Ground Return | Source node for N-channel MOSFET; both pins must be connected together near device to minimize ground bounce and EMI. |
| 11,14 (LX) | Inductor Switch Node | High dv/dt switching point; pins must be shorted together near IC to reduce parasitic inductance and ringing. |
| 13,15 (POUT) | Power Output Terminal | Source of internal P-channel synchronous rectifier; connects directly to output capacitor and load; requires low-ESR bulk capacitance. |
| 16 (ONB) | Off Control Input | Active-low disable; tied to GND for normal operation; complements ONA for flexible logic-level on/off sequencing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Idle Mode™ Efficiency Optimization | Automatically transitions between pulse-frequency modulation (light load) and fixed-frequency PWM (medium/heavy load), improving light-load efficiency by >30% versus fixed-frequency-only designs. |
| Synchronous Rectification | Integrated 130mΩ P-channel rectifier replaces external Schottky diode, reducing conduction losses and improving full-load efficiency by ~5% over diode-based boost converters. |
| Low-Noise Forced-PWM Mode | Enables constant 1MHz operation regardless of load, producing predictable harmonic content that simplifies EMI filtering in RF-sensitive applications like PCS phones. |
| Programmable Current Limit & Soft-Start | ISET pin allows precise adjustment of peak inductor current (2.0–3.4A range) and implementation of user-defined soft-start time constant (tSS = RSSCSS) to control inrush. |
| Integrated Analog Gain Block | 10mS transconductance amplifier with 0.938V reference supports either external P-channel linear regulator (for clean auxiliary rails) or low-battery comparator (with <30nA input bias). |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61088RHLR | Higher 2.2A output current, wider 2.7V–12V input range, but requires minimum 1.8V startup and lacks integrated gain block. | Better suited for higher-power USB PD sink applications; not ideal for sub-1.2V cold-start battery systems. | Select when >1.5A output or >5.5V input is required; avoid if gain block functionality or ultra-low startup voltage is critical. |
| LT3467EDD#TRPBF | Fixed 1.2MHz frequency, 1.3A output, no Idle Mode™, but includes true shutdown disconnect and lower 0.8V startup voltage. | Preferred for ultra-low-voltage energy harvesting or coin-cell applications where 1.1V startup is insufficient. | Choose for <1.1V input scenarios or when output disconnect during shutdown is mandatory; trade off Idle Mode™ efficiency for broader startup range. |
Compared with TPS61088RHLR and LT3467EDD#TRPBF, the MAX1763EEE+T uniquely combines guaranteed 1.1V startup, integrated gain block for system monitoring, and Idle Mode™ for optimal light-load efficiency-making it the preferred choice for battery-powered wireless handsets operating across wide temperature and discharge ranges.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required to start up the MAX1763EEE+T?
The MAX1763EEE+T guarantees startup at 1.1V input (at +25°C, ILOAD < 1mA), verified per datasheet Figure 2 test circuit. Once regulation is achieved, it continues operating down to 0.7V due to bootstrapped power from the POUT rail through the OUT pin. This makes the MAX1763EEE+T suitable for deeply discharged alkaline or NiMH cells in handheld instruments.
How does the MAX1763EEE+T achieve low-noise operation in sensitive RF applications?
The MAX1763EEE+T supports forced-PWM mode (CLK/SEL = high) to maintain constant 1MHz switching frequency across all load conditions, producing predictable harmonics that are easily filtered. It also allows external clock synchronization (500kHz–1.2MHz) to shift noise away from critical bands like 900MHz or 2.4GHz, a capability confirmed in the Typical Operating Characteristics section of the MAX1763EEE+T datasheet.
Can the MAX1763EEE+T generate output voltages above 4V?
Yes, the MAX1763EEE+T supports adjustable outputs from 2.5V to 5.5V via the FB pin, but an external Schottky diode (e.g., MBR0520L) must be connected from LX to POUT when VOUT > 4V. This is required per Note 1 in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and confirmed in the Detailed Description section to prevent reverse current and ensure reliable startup under high-step-up ratios.
What is the purpose of the AIN and AO pins on the MAX1763EEE+T?
The AIN and AO pins form an integrated transconductance gain block (10mS typical) with a 0.938V internal reference. AIN accepts an external voltage divider for low-battery detection (e.g., trip at 2.15V), while AO provides open-drain output to drive an external P-channel MOSFET for a linear regulator stage. Both functions are validated in Figures 3–5 and Electrical Characteristics tables of the MAX1763EEE+T datasheet.
Does the MAX1763EEE+T require external compensation components?
No, the MAX1763EEE+T uses internal compensation and requires no external RC network on the FB pin. Stability is ensured across its full output range (2.5V–5.5V) and load conditions (0–1.5A) with standard 1.5µH inductor and 47µF–220µF ceramic output capacitors, as demonstrated in the Typical Operating Circuit (Figure 2) and Design Procedure section of the MAX1763EEE+T documentation.
