Product details
Overview
MAX1853EXT+T from Maxim Integrated is a monolithic CMOS inverting charge-pump voltage converter in a 6-pin SC70 package, delivering -1×VIN output with up to 30mA load current, 15Ω output resistance, and 200kHz switching frequency. It operates from +2.5V to +5.5V input and is used to generate negative supplies for analog circuitry from single positive logic rails.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1853EXT+T datasheet, MAX1853EXT+T pinout, MAX1853EXT+T application, or MAX1853EXT+T equivalent, key selection criteria include shutdown quiescent current (≤0.5µA), output resistance stability over temperature, capacitor count (only two 0.68µF required), and SC70 footprint compatibility in space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The MAX1853EXT+T integrates four on-chip power-MOSFET switches and oscillator control circuitry to implement a two-phase switched-capacitor inverter topology. It achieves fixed -1×VIN conversion ratio using external flying (C1) and reservoir (C2) capacitors, with internal slew-rate limiting to reduce EMI.
Its 200kHz oscillator frequency enables smaller external capacitors than the 50kHz MAX1852 variant, while maintaining identical 6-pin SC70 package dimensions and pinout. Shutdown is controlled by a logic-level SHDN input that reduces supply current to ≤0.5µA at +85°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | +2.5V to +5.5V - supports direct connection to 3.3V and 5V logic rails without regulation. |
| Output Current | 30mA RMS - sufficient to power op-amps, ADC bias networks, or small LCD bias circuits. |
| Output Resistance | 15Ω typical at +25°C - ensures <150mV drop at 10mA load, critical for stable negative rail regulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 200kHz - allows use of compact 0.68µF ceramic capacitors (C1/C2) instead of larger values. |
| Shutdown Current | ≤0.5µA at +85°C - extends battery life in handheld devices during sleep mode. |
| Efficiency | 99% at no load - minimizes quiescent loss in low-power systems; drops to ~85% at 30mA due to ROUT losses. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and portable consumer environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-pin SC70 (2.0mm × 1.25mm × 0.9mm height), 40% smaller than SOT23, with exposed pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| C1+ | Positive terminal of flying capacitor | Connects to top plate of C1 during charging phase; must be routed with low-inductance path. |
| C1- | Negative terminal of flying capacitor | Connects to bottom plate of C1; forms charge-transfer node between phases. |
| IN | Positive input supply | Accepts +2.5V to +5.5V; requires local 0.68µF bypass capacitor (C3) if noisy source. |
| SHDN | Logic-controlled shutdown enable | Active-high: >0.7×VIN = normal operation; <0.3×VIN = shutdown (≤0.5µA IQ). |
| OUT | Inverted output (–VIN) | Delivers regulated negative voltage; connects to reservoir capacitor C2 and load return. |
| GND | Ground reference | System ground plane connection point; must be low-impedance for noise control and efficiency. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-small SC70 package | Enables integration into space-limited PDAs, handheld terminals, and wearable sensors where board area is constrained. |
| 200kHz fixed-frequency oscillator | Reduces required flying/reservoir capacitance by 4× vs. 50kHz MAX1852, lowering BOM cost and footprint. |
| Slew-rate limited switching | Minimizes high-frequency EMI emissions, easing EMC compliance in sensitive RF or audio subsystems. |
| Two-component solution | Only two 0.68µF ceramic capacitors needed - eliminates need for inductors or complex feedback networks. |
| Logic-compatible shutdown | Direct interface with microcontroller GPIO pins without level-shifting, simplifying power sequencing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar inverting charge-pump applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX1852EXT+T | 50kHz switching frequency; requires 4.7µF capacitors for 15Ω ROUT | Better light-load efficiency; higher output impedance at 200kHz loads | Select when lowest quiescent current (68µA) and lower EMI at expense of capacitor size are priorities. |
| TPS60403DBVR | 250kHz, 30mA, 17Ω ROUT, same 6-pin SOT-23 package | Higher input voltage limit (+6V), integrated soft-start, no external C1 polarity sensitivity | Choose when compatibility with 6V inputs or simplified layout (no C1 polarity concerns) is required. |
Compared with MAX1852EXT+T and TPS60403DBVR, the MAX1853EXT+T offers optimal capacitor size reduction for 200kHz operation while retaining the smallest SC70 footprint-ideal for ultra-dense layouts where 0.68µF ceramics fit but 4.7µF do not.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the MAX1853EXT+T?
The MAX1853EXT+T delivers up to 30mA RMS continuous output current. This rating is validated across the full operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and input voltage range (+2.5V to +5.5V). At 30mA, output voltage drops due to 15Ω output resistance - e.g., –4.55V output from +5V input - making it suitable for moderate analog loads like op-amp biasing or LCD segment drivers, but not high-current digital logic.
Does the MAX1853EXT+T require polarity-sensitive external capacitors?
Yes, the MAX1853EXT+T requires correct polarity for the flying capacitor (C1): C1+ must connect to the C1+ pin and C1– to the C1– pin. Reversing C1 polarity prevents proper charge transfer and causes failure to generate output voltage. The reservoir capacitor (C2) is non-polarized and typically uses ceramic or tantalum types rated for negative voltage swing.
Can the MAX1853EXT+T be used with input voltages below 2.5V?
No, the MAX1853EXT+T is not specified or guaranteed for operation below +2.5V input. Absolute maximum ratings allow IN to GND down to –0.3V, but functional operation begins at +2.5V per Electrical Characteristics table. Below this threshold, oscillator startup fails, output regulation collapses, and shutdown logic becomes unreliable - confirmed by production testing and thermal derating limits.
How does the MAX1853EXT+T minimize electromagnetic interference?
The MAX1853EXT+T incorporates internal slew-rate limiting on all MOSFET gate drives to suppress fast voltage transitions, directly reducing high-frequency harmonic content in switching waveforms. This design choice lowers radiated EMI by >10dB compared to unslew-limited charge pumps, easing compliance with CISPR 22 Class B limits in handheld devices without added ferrite beads or shielding.
Is the SC70 package of the MAX1853EXT+T lead-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes, the MAX1853EXT+T SC70 package is lead-free and RoHS-compliant per Maxim Integrated's standard product specifications. The "+T" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging with Pb-free terminations and halogen-free molding compound, qualified to JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1) for unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH.
