Product details
Overview
MAX1835EUT#TG16 from Maxim Integrated is a high-efficiency, fixed 3.3V step-up DC-DC converter with reverse battery protection, synchronous rectification, and integrated RST power-on reset output. It operates from +1.5V to +5.5V input, delivers up to 150mA load current, and achieves >90% efficiency in compact SOT23-6 packaging - ideal for battery-powered medical diagnostics and remote wireless transmitters.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1835EUT#TG16 datasheet, MAX1835EUT#TG16 pinout, MAX1835EUT#TG16 application, or MAX1835EUT#TG16 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.3V fixed output, <1µA shutdown current, RST open-drain reset threshold (2.98V typ), reverse-battery protected LX/BATT/SHDN pins, and SOT23-6 thermal performance (727mW at +70°C).
Technical Context
The MAX1835EUT#TG16 uses a current-limited, oscillator-free control scheme with 5µs maximum on-time and zero-crossing detection to regulate output without external timing components. Its internal N-channel switch (0.4Ω typ RDS(ON)) and P-channel synchronous rectifier eliminate external diodes while enabling ultra-low quiescent current (4µA).
Reverse battery protection is implemented via a proprietary N-channel MOSFET gate control that disconnects BATT from LX and OUT when input polarity is inverted. The RST output asserts low when VOUT falls 10% below regulation (2.98V typ), with 100nA leakage and 0.2V low-level drive capability under 1mA sink.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±2.3% over -40°C to +85°C - ensures stable logic supply for 3.3V microcontrollers without feedback resistors. |
| Input Voltage Range | +1.5V to +5.5V - supports single Li+ cell, two alkaline/NiMH cells, or USB-powered operation. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA at VBATT = +2V - sufficient for powering RF transceivers, sensors, and small displays in portable devices. |
| Efficiency | 90% at VBATT = +2V, VOUT = +3.3V, ILOAD = 40mA - minimizes heat and extends battery life in space-constrained designs. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA into BATT - enables multi-year shelf life in always-on backup applications like RTCs and SRAM keep-alive. |
| RST Threshold | 2.98V (typ) falling-edge trip - provides precise power-on reset for microcontrollers without external voltage detectors. |
| Package | SOT23-6 (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm) - enables high-density PCB layouts in handheld instruments and PC cards. |
Pinout & Package
MAX1835EUT#TG16 is housed in a RoHS-compliant 6-pin SOT23 package with exposed pad (not electrically connected). Thermal resistance θJA = 110°C/W; continuous power dissipation = 727mW at TA = +70°C (derates 9.1mW/°C above).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - SHDN | Active-high enable with reverse-battery protection | Drives device ON/OFF; 1.228V threshold enables low-battery cutoff; connects to GND for forced shutdown. |
| 2 - BATT | Input battery connection with reverse-polarity blocking | Accepts +1.5V to +5.5V; internal N-MOSFET blocks current if connected backward (-6V absolute max). |
| 3 - GND | Power and signal reference ground | Must be tied directly to PCB ground plane within 5mm of input/output capacitors to minimize noise and ground bounce. |
| 4 - LX | Switch node for external inductor | Connects to drain of internal N-MOSFET and P-MOSFET synchronous rectifier; rated for -6V to +6V transient swing. |
| 5 - OUT | Regulated 3.3V output and bootstrap supply | Delivers up to 150mA; supplies internal circuitry; serves as RST pullup source when configured per datasheet. |
| 6 - RST | Open-drain power-on reset output | 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 | Proprietary N-MOSFET gate control blocks reverse current at BATT/LX/SHDN pins - eliminates need for external series diode or protection IC. |
| Synchronous Rectification | Integrated P-channel MOSFET replaces Schottky diode - reduces forward drop from ~0.3V to <0.1V, boosting efficiency by 5–8%. |
| Ultra-Low Quiescent Current | 4µA operating supply current - preserves battery capacity during light-load standby in pagers and medical sensors. |
| Integrated Power-On Reset | RST output with 2.98V (typ) falling threshold and 100nA leakage - replaces discrete reset IC in microcontroller-based systems. |
| Backup Power Path in Shutdown | No internal PFET conduction path from OUT to BATT - prevents backfeed when using separate backup batteries (e.g., coin-cell RTC). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-up converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61099YFFR | Fixed 3.3V output, 400mA max, 0.75µA shutdown current, no RST output, no reverse battery protection. | Lacks reverse polarity protection and power-on reset - requires external components for same safety/functionality. | Choose when higher output current is needed and reverse protection is handled externally. |
| LT1945ES5#TRMPBF | Adjustable 2.5V–5.5V output, 100mA max, 2.5µA quiescent, includes RST but no reverse battery protection. | Requires feedback resistors for 3.3V; lacks integrated reverse protection - adds BOM cost and board area. | Prefer when adjustable output is required and system-level reverse protection exists. |
Compared with TPS61099YFFR and LT1945ES5#TRMPBF, MAX1835EUT#TG16 uniquely integrates reverse battery protection and RST in a 6-pin SOT23, eliminating external diodes and reset ICs - reducing total solution size by ≥30% and component count by 2–4 parts in battery-critical portable designs.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of MAX1835EUT#TG16 across temperature?
The MAX1835EUT#TG16 delivers a fixed 3.3V output with ±2.3% tolerance over the full -40°C to +85°C operating range. At +25°C, the typical output is 3.290V, with min/max limits of 3.225V and 3.355V respectively - ensuring reliable 3.3V logic compatibility without external trimming.
Does MAX1835EUT#TG16 provide reverse battery protection on all pins?
Yes, MAX1835EUT#TG16 implements reverse battery protection on BATT, LX, and SHDN pins - limiting reverse current to ≤10µA when VBATT = -3V. This proprietary design protects both the IC and downstream circuitry without external components, unlike most boost converters requiring series diodes or MOSFET controllers.
How does the RST output of MAX1835EUT#TG16 function in shutdown mode?
In shutdown mode, the RST pin of MAX1835EUT#TG16 enters high-impedance state and does not assert. It only becomes active (pulling low) when the device is enabled and VOUT drops 10% below regulation (i.e., below ~2.97V). This behavior ensures clean reset sequencing independent of enable timing.
What is the maximum inductor value recommended for MAX1835EUT#TG16?
The MAX1835EUT#TG16 supports inductors from 4.7µH to 100µH, but 10µH is recommended for optimal balance of size, ripple, and peak current. Larger values reduce output ripple but limit maximum load current - for example, >47µH may restrict 150mA output at low input voltages due to on-time saturation.
Can MAX1835EUT#TG16 be used with a single 1.5V alkaline cell?
Yes, MAX1835EUT#TG16 starts up from as low as +1.24V (min) at -40°C to +85°C and operates continuously down to +1.5V input - making it suitable for single 1.5V alkaline cells. Startup time is <100µs, and efficiency remains >85% at 10mA load even at 1.5V input.
