Product details
Overview
MAX1765EEE from Maxim Integrated is a dual-output, high-efficiency step-up DC-DC converter with integrated 500mA LDO linear regulator, designed for battery-powered wireless instruments. It delivers up to 800mA at 2.5V–5.5V from 0.7V–5.5V input, operates at 1MHz fixed frequency (or sync-capable), and achieves 93% peak efficiency with 200µA quiescent current - enabling extended runtime in PCS phones and handheld RF test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1765EEE datasheet, MAX1765EEE pinout, MAX1765EEE application, or MAX1765EEE equivalent, this page provides verified functional context, validated package mapping (16-pin QSOP), confirmed dual-regulator topology, real-world efficiency curves across load and input voltage, and precise shutdown/track-mode control behavior essential for low-noise portable power design.
Technical Context
The MAX1765EEE integrates a synchronous PWM boost converter and an independent P-channel LDO in a single die. Its dual-control architecture allows simultaneous regulation: the boost stage uses current-mode PWM with programmable ISET-based current limiting (1000–1600mA), while the LDO employs a 250mΩ pass device with 125mV dropout at 500mA and dual feedback modes (fixed 2.85V or adjustable via FBL).
Operating mode selection is hardware-defined via CLK/SEL: low enables pulse-skipping at light loads (360µW quiescent) and automatic transition to 1MHz PWM above ~50mA; high forces constant-frequency PWM; external clock input (500kHz–1.2MHz) enables EMI-sensitive synchronization. TRACK pin enables coordinated regulation where POUT follows OUTL + 0.5V, optimizing PSRR without sacrificing efficiency.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MAX1765EEE is housed in a 16-pin QSOP (Quad Small Outline Package) with 1.27mm pitch, rated for -40°C to +85°C operation and RoHS-compliant (denoted by '+' suffix). The exposed pad variant (MAX1765EUE+) uses thermally enhanced TSSOP-EP, but MAX1765EEE specifically uses standard QSOP without EP.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 FBL | LDO feedback input | Selects LDO output: grounded → 2.85V fixed; resistor-divider from OUTL → adjustable 1.25V–5V; regulates to 1.25V. |
| 2 ISET | Boost current limit programming | Sets N-channel switch current limit (1000–1600mA) via REF-connected divider; also enables soft-start with capacitor to GND. |
| 3 REF | 1.25V precision reference output | Stable 1.25V source (±2.5mV) for ISET/FBL biasing; bypassed with 0.22µF capacitor; enabled when ONA=HI, ONB=LO, or ONL=HI. |
| 4 GND | Analog ground reference | Signal return for FB, FBL, REF, ON inputs; must be short-traced to PGND to minimize noise coupling into feedback paths. |
| 5 FB | Boost converter feedback input | Senses output voltage via resistor divider; disabled in TRACK mode; regulates to 1.25V with ±2.5mV accuracy over temperature. |
| 6 OUT | IC power supply input | Derives internal bias from POUT via 4.7Ω resistor; bypassed with 0.68µF capacitor; powers control circuitry and reference. |
| 7 ONA | Primary boost enable (active-high) | High → enables boost converter; includes ~0.15V hysteresis to prevent chatter near threshold; logic-compatible with 1.8–5.5V systems. |
| 8 CLK/SEL | Mode select & sync input | Low → normal (pulse-skip + PWM); high → forced PWM; external clock (500kHz–1.2MHz) → synchronized PWM for EMI control. |
| 9 ONB | Secondary boost enable (active-low) | Low → enables boost; complements ONA for pushbutton or µP-controlled sequencing; hysteresis matches ONA. |
| 10 PGND | Power ground return | High-current return path for LX, POUT, and OUTL; must be connected directly to GND pin with minimal impedance to reduce switching noise. |
| 11 LX | Switch node connection | Drain of N-channel switch and source of P-channel synchronous rectifier; connects to inductor; requires low-ESR ceramic capacitor at POUT. |
| 12 POUT | Boost output power rail | Source of P-channel rectifier; supplies INL and system loads; bypassed with 100µF low-ESR capacitor to PGND for ripple suppression. |
| 13 INL | LDO input power | Connected directly to POUT; feeds LDO pass transistor; input range 2.3V–5.5V; startup threshold 2.15–2.45V. |
| 14 OUTL | LDO regulated output | Delivers up to 500mA; 2.85V fixed or adjustable; bypassed with 4.7µF low-ESR capacitor; short-circuit protected (550–1300mA limit). |
| 15 TRACK | Track mode control | High → enables track mode: POUT = OUTL + 0.5V (±0.1V), improving PSRR and efficiency for noise-sensitive analog rails. |
| 16 ONL | LDO enable input | Active-high; enables OUTL when TRACK = LOW; controlled by ONA/ONB when TRACK = HIGH for coordinated sequencing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous PWM boost topology | Uses internal N-channel switch and P-channel synchronous rectifier (0.28Ω/0.50Ω RDS(on)) to achieve 93% peak efficiency and eliminate Schottky losses. |
| Dual independent shutdown controls | Separate ONA/ONB for boost and ONL for LDO allow flexible power sequencing - e.g., keep LDO active during boost sleep for analog bias retention. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required to start up the MAX1765EEE?
The MAX1765EEE guarantees startup at 1.1V (typical 0.9V with Schottky assist) and remains operational down to 0.7V after startup due to bootstrap powering from the OUT pin. This enables reliable operation from deeply discharged single-cell batteries in wireless handsets and portable instruments. The MAX1765EEE's low-voltage startup oscillator ensures consistent turn-on even under cold-temperature conditions.
How does the TRACK mode improve power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) in the MAX1765EEE?
In TRACK mode (TRACK = HI), the MAX1765EEE configures the boost output POUT to track OUTL + 0.5V, minimizing LDO dropout voltage and maintaining optimal headroom. This reduces conduction loss and improves PSRR to >65dB across 100Hz–1MHz - critical for powering RF front-ends. The MAX1765EEE's coordinated regulation avoids efficiency penalties associated with excessive LDO dropout while preserving noise isolation.
Can the MAX1765EEE operate with an external clock, and what is the supported frequency range?
Yes, the MAX1765EEE supports external clock synchronization on the CLK/SEL pin across 500kHz–1.2MHz. This allows precise placement of switching harmonics outside sensitive RF bands (e.g., GSM, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi), reducing EMI in wireless handsets and test equipment. The MAX1765EEE maintains forced-PWM operation during sync, ensuring constant-frequency behavior and predictable noise spectra.
What is the maximum output current capability of the LDO section in the MAX1765EEE?
The MAX1765EEE's integrated LDO delivers up to 500mA at its OUTL pin with 125mV dropout voltage at full load. It features short-circuit protection (550–1300mA limit) and thermal shutdown. The MAX1765EEE's P-channel pass device eliminates base-drive current loss, making it more efficient than bipolar LDOs - especially critical in battery-constrained applications like palmtop computers.
How does the MAX1765EEE reduce quiescent current during light-load conditions?
The MAX1765EEE automatically transitions to pulse-skipping (SKIP) mode at light loads (<50mA), reducing quiescent current to 200µA (normal mode) or 360µW (effective power). In shutdown (ONA/ONL = LO), supply current drops to 1µA. This behavior extends battery life in standby states of wireless handsets and portable instruments - a key advantage of the MAX1765EEE's adaptive control architecture.
