Product details
Overview
MAX1795EUA+ from Maxim Integrated is a high-efficiency, step-up DC-DC converter optimized for low-voltage portable devices. It delivers up to 180mA output at 3.3V or 120mA at 5.0V from input as low as 0.85V startup and 0.7V operating voltage, features True Shutdown™ for full output disconnect, and integrates synchronous rectification to eliminate external Schottky diodes - used in battery-powered digital audio players and PDAs.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1795EUA+ datasheet, MAX1795EUA+ pinout, MAX1795EUA+ application, or MAX1795EUA+ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, confirmed pin functions, real-world efficiency curves, validated alternative options, and design-meaningful specifications - all specific to the MAX1795EUA+ variant with 0.25A current limit and 8-pin μMAX package.
Technical Context
The MAX1795EUA+ employs a minimum-off-time, current-limited control scheme combining PWM-like efficiency with pulse-skipping quiescent current benefits. Its internal N-channel MOSFET has 0.17Ω typical RDS(ON), and P-channel synchronous rectifier eliminates external diode losses - enabling >95% peak efficiency at light-to-moderate loads.
True Shutdown™ fully isolates OUT from BATT while maintaining LBI/LBO comparator operation; LX-damping circuitry reduces EMI via an integrated 100–400Ω damping switch. The device operates from 0.7V to 5.5V input and supports preset 3.3V/5.0V outputs or adjustable 2.0–5.5V via FB divider.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current Limit | 0.25A - sets maximum inductor peak current; defines max load capability at given input/output conditions |
| Startup Voltage | 0.85V - enables reliable power-up from single alkaline or NiMH cells near end-of-life |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 25μA - minimizes no-load battery drain in always-on portable systems |
| Shutdown Current | 2μA - ensures negligible standby leakage when system is powered down |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 1.24V - determines output setpoint in adjustable mode; enables precise VOUT tuning with resistor divider |
| Efficiency (Peak) | >95% - achieved at mid-load with 2.4V input and 3.3V output; reduces thermal stress and extends battery life |
| LX Switch On-Resistance | 0.17Ω (NFET), 0.27Ω (PFET) - directly impacts conduction loss and thermal rise under load |
Pinout & Package
MAX1795EUA+ is housed in an 8-pin μMAX package (3.0mm × 3.0mm × 1.09mm), compatible with standard SO-8 footprints but occupying half the area and height.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 LBI | Low-battery comparator input | Monitors input voltage; remains active in shutdown; threshold fixed at 0.85V (±25mV hysteresis) |
| 2 FB | Dual-Mode feedback input | Selects preset 3.3V (connect to OUT) or 5.0V (connect to GND); or adjusts 2.0–5.5V via resistor divider |
| 3 LBO | Open-drain low-battery output | Sinks current when LBI > 0.85V; high-impedance otherwise; functional during shutdown |
| 4 SHDN | Active-high shutdown control | Drives OUT into high-Z state and cuts supply current to <2μA when pulled high |
| 5 GND | Power and signal ground reference | Must be connected to low-impedance ground plane; critical for noise suppression and thermal performance |
| 6 LX | Inductor switching node | Connects to inductor; hosts damped ringing waveform; requires short, low-inductance PCB trace |
| 7 OUT | Regulated power output & bootstrap supply | Provides output voltage and powers internal circuitry; must be decoupled with ≥47μF capacitor |
| 8 BATT | Battery input & damping switch connection | Accepts 0.7–5.5V input; internal damping switch connects between BATT and LX to suppress ringing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True Shutdown™ | Fully disconnects OUT from BATT in shutdown - eliminates parasitic discharge path and removes need for external blocking FET |
| Synchronous Rectification | Integrated P-channel MOSFET replaces external Schottky diode - improves efficiency by ~5–10% and saves board space |
| LX-Damping Circuitry | On-chip 100–400Ω damping switch suppresses inductor ringing - reduces EMI without affecting output ripple amplitude |
| LBI/LBO Comparator in Shutdown | Enables battery monitoring during system sleep - allows autonomous low-battery detection without waking main controller |
| Ultra-Low Quiescent Current | 25μA operating / 2μA shutdown - extends runtime in intermittently active portable devices like remote controls or sensors |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61022DRCT | Higher 2A current limit; 2.5V–5.5V input; fixed 3.3V/5.0V options only; no LBI/LBO comparator | Targeted at higher-power loads; lacks integrated battery monitor - requires external comparator for low-battery detection | Choose TPS61022DRCT when >180mA continuous output is required and battery monitoring is handled externally. |
| SP6650ES-L/TR | 0.3A current limit; 0.9V–4.5V input; 2.5V–5.0V adjustable output; 35μA quiescent current; no shutdown isolation | Lower efficiency (~90% peak); no True Shutdown - output remains coupled to input in shutdown; no LX damping | Choose SP6650ES-L/TR only if cost is primary constraint and EMI/battery monitoring requirements are relaxed. |
Compared with TPS61022DRCT and SP6650ES-L/TR, the MAX1795EUA+ uniquely combines sub-1V startup, true output isolation in shutdown, integrated LBI/LBO, and LX damping - making it optimal for ultra-low-power, noise-sensitive, battery-critical portable designs where reliability and feature integration outweigh raw current capability.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for MAX1795EUA+ to start up?
The MAX1795EUA+ guarantees startup from +0.85V at +25°C with a 3kΩ load, and operates continuously down to +0.7V after startup. This enables use with single-cell alkaline, NiMH, or LiFePO₄ batteries nearing end-of-life. Startup voltage increases slightly with temperature - typical tempco is -2.2mV/°C.
How does MAX1795EUA+ achieve >95% efficiency without an external Schottky diode?
The MAX1795EUA+ integrates a synchronous rectifier using an internal P-channel MOSFET that replaces the external Schottky diode. During the off-time, the PFET turns on and bypasses its body diode, reducing forward voltage drop from ~0.3V to <0.1V - cutting conduction losses and enabling >95% peak efficiency at moderate loads with 2.4V input and 3.3V output.
Can MAX1795EUA+ be configured for an output voltage other than 3.3V or 5.0V?
Yes. The MAX1795EUA+ supports adjustable output from +2.0V to +5.5V using a resistive divider from OUT to FB to GND. With a fixed feedback reference of 1.24V, R1 = R2 × ((VOUT / 1.24) − 1). R2 should be ≤250kΩ to ensure adequate bias current; typical designs use R2 = 1MΩ and calculate R1 accordingly.
What is the function of the LBI and LBO pins on MAX1795EUA+?
LBI is the low-battery comparator input with a factory-trimmed 0.85V threshold (±25mV hysteresis); LBO is its open-drain output. When LBI voltage exceeds 0.85V, LBO sinks current; below threshold, LBO goes high-impedance. Critically, both remain fully operational during MAX1795EUA+ shutdown - enabling battery monitoring without waking the host system.
Does MAX1795EUA+ require an external damping resistor for the LX node?
No. The MAX1795EUA+ includes an integrated LX-damping switch with 100–400Ω on-resistance, which automatically activates when inductor energy depletes. This eliminates external damping components while reducing EMI - confirmed by comparative waveforms showing suppressed ringing versus conventional boost converters without damping.
