Product details
Overview
MAX1822ESA+ from Maxim Integrated is a high-side power supply IC using a regulated charge pump to generate a stable VOUT = VCC + 11V (typ) output, enabling efficient N-channel MOSFET high-side switching in battery- and line-powered systems. It operates from +3.5V to +16.5V input, draws only 150µA quiescent current (typ), features a logic-level PR output, and targets applications like stepper motor drivers and portable computer load management.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1822ESA+ datasheet, MAX1822ESA+ pinout, MAX1822ESA+ application, or MAX1822ESA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include regulated high-side voltage accuracy, low IQ under light load, PR threshold behavior at VCC + 8.5V, SO-8 package compatibility, and external capacitor dependencies for ripple and output current capability.
Technical Context
The MAX1822ESA+ implements a two-stage switched-capacitor charge pump with internal feedback regulation that maintains VOUT at VCC + 11V (typ) for VCC ≥ 4V, using pulse-skipping control to disable the 90kHz oscillator when regulation is met. Its PR output asserts high only when VOUT reaches ≥ VCC + 8.5V (typ), providing real-time gate-drive readiness signaling.
It requires three external ceramic capacitors (C1, C2, C3), with C1/C2 values constrained to ≤ 0.01µF for VCC > +13V to prevent internal switch overstress; output ripple is typically 50mVp-p at 1mA load with standard capacitor values, and maximum continuous output current is limited to 25mA by internal power dissipation limits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | +3.5V to +16.5V - supports wide-range battery and industrial supplies without external regulators |

Pinout & Package
The MAX1822ESA+ is housed in an 8-pin SO (SOIC-N) package with standard 1.27mm pitch and exposed pad not present. Pin functions are validated per Maxim's official pin description table and typical operating circuit diagrams.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 2 (C2−) | Secondary charge-pump capacitor negative terminal | Reference node for second-stage pumping; ties to GND during refresh phase |
| 3 (PR) | Power-Ready open-drain output | Signals VOUT ≥ VCC + 8.5V; must be pulled up externally to enable downstream logic |
| 4 (GND) | Analog and power ground reference | Common return for all internal circuits and external capacitors; must be low-impedance |
| 5 (VOUT) | Regulated high-side output | Delivers VCC + 11V (typ); drives gates of N-channel FETs referenced to load side |
| 6 (C2+) | Secondary charge-pump capacitor positive terminal | Connects to + side of C2; completes second-stage voltage boost |
| 7 (C1−) | Primary charge-pump capacitor negative terminal | Switched node tied to VCC or GND; enables charge transfer into C2 |
| 8 (VCC) | Main input supply | Feeds internal logic, oscillator, and charge-pump driver; range +3.5V to +16.5V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side power supply applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX622ESA+ | Pin-for-pin compatible; identical electrical specs but older revision with higher typical IQ (200µA vs. 150µA) | No functional difference; legacy part still supported but newer MAX1822 offers improved efficiency | Select MAX1822ESA+ for new designs requiring lowest possible standby current |
| TPS60110IDR | Fixed 5V output (not VCC-offset); higher max output current (50mA); requires four external caps | Suitable for fixed-rail gate drive only; cannot replace MAX1822ESA+ in VCC-tracking applications | Choose only if system uses constant 5V gate drive and needs higher current headroom |
Compared with MAX622ESA+, the MAX1822ESA+ delivers 25% lower quiescent current while maintaining identical pinout and regulation behavior; versus TPS60110IDR, it provides adaptive VCC-referenced output essential for wide-input-voltage N-FET switching but with lower output current capability.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MAX1822ESA+?
The MAX1822ESA+ has an absolute maximum VCC rating of +17V. Continuous operation is specified from +3.5V to +16.5V. Exceeding +17V risks permanent damage. For inputs above +13V, C1 and C2 must be limited to 0.01µF to prevent internal switch overstress, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Applications Information sections of the official datasheet.
Does the MAX1822ESA+ provide short-circuit protection on its VOUT pin?
No, the MAX1822ESA+ does not include internal short-circuit protection. The datasheet explicitly states it is "not internally short-circuit protected." In applications where VOUT may be exposed to fault conditions, external current limiting - such as a series resistor sized to restrict IOUT below 25mA - must be added. This design requirement is documented in the Output Protection section of the MAX1822ESA+ datasheet.
How does the Power-Ready (PR) output behave during startup and overload?
The PR output of the MAX1822ESA+ remains low until VOUT reaches ≥ VCC + 8.5V (typ), then switches high (to VCC level). If VOUT drops below this threshold during operation - for example, due to overload or input sag - PR immediately goes low again. This real-time feedback enables robust sequencing and fault detection. The behavior is defined in the Pin Description and Detailed Description sections of the MAX1822ESA+ datasheet.
Can the MAX1822ESA+ drive multiple N-channel FETs simultaneously?
Yes, the MAX1822ESA+ can drive multiple N-channel FETs, as demonstrated in Figure 3 of the datasheet driving six high-side switches. Total gate capacitance must stay within the 25mA output current limit. Pullup resistor values depend on channel count and required turn-on speed; for six channels at 1mA total IOUT, minimum pullup is ~100kΩ. This capability is verified in the Typical Applications section of the MAX1822ESA+ datasheet.
What capacitor values are recommended for optimal ripple performance with the MAX1822ESA+?
For minimal output ripple, use C1 = C2 = 0.047µF and C3 = 10µF, which reduces VR to ~15mVp-p (vs. 50mVp-p with C3 = 1µF). C1/C2 must be ≤ 0.01µF if VCC > +13V. All capacitors should be ceramic with low ESR. These values and trade-offs are quantified in the Output Ripple and Capacitor Selection sections of the MAX1822ESA+ datasheet.
