Product details
Overview
MAX1835EUT-T from Maxim Integrated is a high-efficiency, fixed 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 achieves >90% efficiency at 40mA. It is used in battery-powered portable devices requiring stable 3.3V rail generation and backup power management.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1835EUT-T datasheet, MAX1835EUT-T pinout, MAX1835EUT-T application, or MAX1835EUT-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 3.3V output, shutdown behavior (VBATT − 0.7V output), RST open-drain reset threshold (2.80–3.14V), and SOT23-6 package compatibility with space-constrained handheld instruments and remote transmitters.
Technical Context
The MAX1835EUT-T uses a current-limited, oscillator-free control scheme with 5µs maximum switch on-time and zero-crossing detection for synchronous rectification. Its internal N-channel MOSFET (0.5Ω typ RDS(ON)) and P-channel rectifier eliminate external diodes while enabling >90% efficiency across 0.1–150mA loads.
Reverse battery protection is implemented via an integrated N-channel MOSFET that disconnects BATT from LX and OUT when input polarity is inverted, limiting reverse current to <10µA. In shutdown, it isolates the output from the battery - unlike MAX1833 - delivering VBATT − 0.7V at OUT without internal PFET conduction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±3.3% (3.208V–3.372V) over −40°C to +85°C - ensures stable logic supply for microcontrollers and sensors. |
| Input Voltage Range | +1.5V to +5.5V - supports single Li+ cell, two alkaline/NiMH cells, or regulated intermediate rails. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA at VBATT = +2V, VOUT = +3.3V - sufficient for powering RF transceivers, LCD bias, or low-power peripherals. |
| Efficiency | 90% typical at VBATT = +2V, VOUT = +3.3V, ILOAD = 40mA - minimizes thermal rise and extends battery life in portable systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 4µA typical - enables ultra-low standby power in always-on monitoring applications. |
| RST Threshold | Falling-edge threshold 2.80–3.14V (10% below regulation) - provides reliable power-on reset for microcontrollers without external supervision ICs. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA into BATT, <1µA into OUT - critical for long-term battery storage in medical or metering devices. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1835EUT-T is housed in a 6-pin SOT23-6 package (JEDEC MO-178AA, footprint 21-0058I), with 0.95mm pitch, 2.9mm × 1.6mm body, and exposed pad not present. Pin 1 marked by dot; top-mark AAOW.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - SHDN | Active-high enable input | Drives device ON/OFF; 1.17–1.286V rising-edge threshold enables low-battery cutoff; reverse-battery protected. |
| 2 - BATT | Battery input connection | Accepts +1.5V to +5.5V; reverse-polarity protected - blocks current if connected backward. |
| 3 - GND | Power ground reference | Common return for all internal circuits; must be tied directly to PCB ground plane for noise immunity. |
| 4 - LX | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries pulsed current; reverse-battery protected; requires short, low-inductance trace. |
| 5 - OUT | Regulated 3.3V output | Delivers up to 150mA; bootstrapped supply for internal circuitry; sense point for regulation loop. |
| 6 - RST | Open-drain power-on reset | Pulls low when VOUT drops >10% below 3.3V; high-impedance in shutdown; requires external pullup to OUT. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Reverse battery protection | Integrated N-MOSFET blocks reverse current <10µA - eliminates need for external series diode or protection IC. |
| Synchronous rectification | Internal P-channel MOSFET replaces Schottky diode - reduces forward drop, improves efficiency, and saves board area. |
| RST power-on reset output | Guaranteed 10% undervoltage detection with open-drain output - enables clean MCU initialization without external supervisor. |
| Shutdown output behavior | Delivers VBATT − 0.7V at OUT (no internal PFET conduction) - prevents backfeed while allowing separate backup battery integration. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 4µA typical operating current - extends shelf life and runtime in intermittent-use battery devices like remote sensors. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-up converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1833EUT-T | Same SOT23-6 package and 3.3V output, but connects BATT to OUT in shutdown (VBATT, not VBATT − 0.7V). | Preferred where backup power must mirror battery voltage exactly (e.g., RTC with no diode drop). | Select MAX1833EUT-T if backup path continuity is required; MAX1835EUT-T if isolation from battery during shutdown is critical. |
| TPS61022DRVR | 3.3V fixed output, 1.8–5.5V input, 1.2A switch current, but no RST output or reverse battery protection. | Used in higher-current applications (e.g., LED backlight) where protection features are handled externally. | Choose TPS61022DRVR only when higher output current (>150mA) is needed and reverse protection is implemented at system level. |
Compared with MAX1833EUT-T, MAX1835EUT-T trades shutdown-mode battery connectivity for improved isolation and reduced leakage risk; versus TPS61022DRVR, it offers integrated safety features at lower current capability - making it optimal for compact, battery-sensitive instrumentation.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the MAX1835EUT-T over temperature?
The MAX1835EUT-T delivers a fixed 3.3V output with guaranteed tolerance of ±3.3% (3.208V to 3.372V) across the full −40°C to +85°C operating range. This specification is validated per the Electrical Characteristics table in the official datasheet (Rev 2, 2005), ensuring reliable logic-level compatibility for microcontrollers and sensors without external trimming.
Does the MAX1835EUT-T provide reverse battery protection, and how does it behave under reversed polarity?
Yes, the MAX1835EUT-T integrates proprietary reverse battery protection. When BATT is connected with negative polarity, its internal N-channel MOSFET turns OFF, limiting reverse current into OUT and BATT to <10µA. This protects both the IC and downstream circuitry without requiring external components - a key differentiator versus standard boost converters.
How does the RST pin on the MAX1835EUT-T function, and what external components are required?
The RST pin on the MAX1835EUT-T is an open-drain power-on reset output that pulls low when VOUT falls >10% below 3.3V (i.e., below ~2.97V). It requires an external pullup resistor (100kΩ to 1MΩ) to OUT. During shutdown, RST is high-impedance. This eliminates the need for a discrete supervisor IC in microcontroller-based systems using MAX1835EUT-T.
What is the shutdown behavior of the MAX1835EUT-T, and how does it differ from the MAX1833EUT-T?
In shutdown (SHDN = LOW), the MAX1835EUT-T outputs VBATT − 0.7V at the OUT pin due to absence of internal PFET conduction - enabling safe integration with separate backup batteries. In contrast, the MAX1833EUT-T connects BATT directly to OUT via an internal PFET, delivering VBATT. This structural difference defines their respective use cases in backup power architecture.
What inductor value is recommended for the MAX1835EUT-T, and why is 10µH commonly used?
A 10µH inductor is recommended for the MAX1835EUT-T as it balances size, ripple, and peak current handling. The datasheet confirms 10µH performs well across load conditions; values from 4.7µH to 100µH are acceptable. Smaller inductors reduce physical size but increase ripple; larger ones minimize ripple but limit max output current due to on-time constraints - 10µH represents the optimal trade-off for most portable applications using MAX1835EUT-T.
