Product details
Overview
The MAX1833EUT#G16 from Maxim Integrated is a high-efficiency, fixed-output 3.3V step-up DC-DC converter with reverse battery protection, synchronous rectification, and RST power-on reset output. It operates from +1.5V to +5.5V input, delivers up to 150mA load current, and features 4µA quiescent current - ideal for battery-powered medical diagnostics and remote wireless transmitters.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1833EUT#G16 datasheet, MAX1833EUT#G16 pinout, MAX1833EUT#G16 application, or MAX1833EUT#G16 equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOT23-6 package, integrated PFET/NFET switching, shutdown-mode battery-to-output connection, and ±1.5% output voltage accuracy over temperature.
Technical Context
The MAX1833EUT#G16 uses a current-limited, oscillator-free control scheme with programmable 5µs maximum on-time and zero-crossing detection for synchronous rectification. Its internal N-channel switch (0.5Ω typ) and P-channel rectifier eliminate external diodes while enabling >90% efficiency at 40mA with 2V input.
Reverse battery protection is implemented via a dedicated N-channel MOSFET that disconnects BATT from LX and GND when polarity is inverted. In shutdown, the internal PFET connects BATT to OUT through the inductor - enabling backup power for RTC or SRAM without diode drop.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±1.5% over -40°C to +85°C - ensures stable logic supply for 3.3V microcontrollers and sensors. |
| Input Voltage Range | +1.5V to +5.5V - supports single Li+ cell, two alkaline/NiMH cells, or USB-derived inputs. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA at VBATT = +2V - sufficient for low-power RF transceivers and digital camera subsystems. |
| Quiescent Current | 4µA typical - minimizes standby drain in always-on battery applications like pagers and hand-held instruments. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA into BATT - enables multi-year shelf life in battery-backed real-time clock circuits. |
| Efficiency | 90% at 40mA, VBATT = +2V - reduces thermal load and extends runtime versus diode-based boosters. |
| RST Threshold | 2.98V falling edge (3.3V × 0.9) - provides clean power-on reset signal for microcontroller initialization. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1833EUT#G16 is housed in a 6-pin SOT23-6 package (JEDEC MO-178AA), with 0.95mm pitch, 2.9mm × 1.6mm footprint, and exposed pad not connected internally.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - SHDN | Active-high enable with 1.228V threshold | Enables low-battery cutoff via resistor divider; reverse-battery protected; connects BATT to OUT in shutdown. |
| 2 - BATT | Battery input with reverse polarity protection | Accepts +1.5V to +5.5V; internal N-MOSFET blocks current if connected backwards. |
| 3 - GND | Power and signal reference ground | Must be tied directly to PCB ground plane; critical for noise immunity and thermal performance. |
| 4 - LX | Switch node (N-FET drain / P-FET drain) | Connects to inductor; requires short, low-inductance trace; reverse-battery protected. |
| 5 - OUT | Regulated 3.3V output and bootstrap supply | Delivers up to 150mA; powers internal circuitry; serves as RST pullup source. |
| 6 - RST | Open-drain power-on reset output | Pulls low when VOUT falls 10% below regulation; high-impedance in shutdown; connect to GND if unused. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated synchronous rectifier | Eliminates external Schottky diode - saves board space and improves efficiency by reducing forward voltage drop. |
| Reverse battery protection | Proprietary N-MOSFET gate control prevents damage and leakage when batteries are inserted backward. |
| BATT-to-OUT path in shutdown | Internal PFET + inductor forms low-dropout backup path - powers RTC/SRAM without external diode. |
| Power-on reset (RST) output | Guaranteed open-drain assertion at 90% of regulated output - simplifies system-level reset sequencing. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 4µA operation enables >1-year battery life in intermittent-use devices like remote transmitters. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-up converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61200DRCT | Fixed 3.3V output, 3.3V RST threshold, 1.8V min input, no reverse battery protection | Lacks reverse polarity protection; requires external diode for backup path in shutdown | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs reverse-battery safety requirements and backup functionality is not needed. |
| LT1930ES5#TRMPBF | Adjustable output (1.25–15V), 2.7V min input, no RST, no reverse battery protection | Requires external feedback resistors; no integrated reset; no polarity reversal safeguard | Prefer when variable output voltage is required and system-level reverse protection is already implemented externally. |
Compared with TPS61200DRCT and LT1930ES5#TRMPBF, the MAX1833EUT#G16 uniquely integrates reverse battery protection, RST output, and shutdown-mode BATT-to-OUT conduction - making it the only option among the three qualified for unattended, user-replaceable battery applications where polarity errors must be tolerated.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MAX1833EUT#G16 over temperature?
The MAX1833EUT#G16 delivers a fixed 3.3V output with ±1.5% accuracy across the full -40°C to +85°C operating range. This specification is guaranteed by design and confirmed in electrical characterization tables, ensuring reliable operation in portable medical and industrial environments where ambient temperature varies widely. The MAX1833EUT#G16 achieves this stability through laser-trimmed internal feedback and matched transistor ratios in its BiCMOS process.
Does the MAX1833EUT#G16 support backup power functionality during shutdown?
Yes, the MAX1833EUT#G16 connects the BATT input to the OUT pin through an internal PFET and the external inductor when SHDN is low - enabling true backup power for RTC, SRAM, or microcontroller retention without diode voltage drop. This feature is explicitly documented in the Selector Guide and Detailed Description sections of the MAX1833EUT#G16 datasheet, distinguishing it from MAX1834/MAX1835 variants that omit this path.
What is the purpose of the RST pin on the MAX1833EUT#G16?
The RST pin on the MAX1833EUT#G16 is an open-drain power-on reset output that pulls low when the regulated 3.3V output falls below 2.98V (90% of nominal). It provides a hardware reset signal for microcontrollers and logic circuits, eliminating need for external reset ICs. The MAX1833EUT#G16 RST remains high-impedance during shutdown and requires a pullup resistor to OUT - a detail confirmed in Figure 1a and Pin Description table.
Can the MAX1833EUT#G16 operate from a single 1.5V alkaline cell?
No - the MAX1833EUT#G16 requires a minimum input voltage of +1.5V to start up, but its guaranteed startup voltage is 1.24V at -40°C to +85°C per Electrical Characteristics. However, sustained operation below ~1.6V becomes marginal due to reduced headroom for the internal PFET and N-FET drive. The MAX1833EUT#G16 is optimized for two alkaline/NiMH cells (2.0–3.2V) or one Li+ cell (3.0–4.2V), as stated in the Detailed Description section.
How does reverse battery protection work in the MAX1833EUT#G16?
The MAX1833EUT#G16 implements reverse battery protection using a dedicated N-channel MOSFET between BATT and GND/LX. When input polarity is inverted, the gate drive is disabled and the MOSFET remains off - blocking current flow and preventing damage to the IC, inductor, and downstream load. This behavior is verified in Absolute Maximum Ratings (BATT to GND: -6V) and Electrical Characteristics (reverse battery current <10µA), and is a proprietary feature unique to the MAX1832–MAX1835 family.
