Product details
Overview
The MAX619CPA from Maxim Integrated is a regulated 5V ±4% charge-pump DC-DC converter designed for battery-powered systems requiring compact, inductorless voltage boosting. It delivers up to 50mA output current from a 2V–3.6V input (e.g., two alkaline or NiMH cells), features 500kHz internal switching, 150µA max no-load supply current, and logic-controlled shutdown with 1µA max quiescent draw. It serves as a primary 5V supply in portable microprocessor systems and flash memory programmers.
For engineers reviewing the MAX619CPA datasheet, MAX619CPA pinout, MAX619CPA application, or MAX619CPA equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 50mA output at VIN ≥3V, ±4% output regulation over temperature, ultra-low shutdown current, load-disconnect capability during shutdown, and compatibility with standard 0.22µF flying capacitors and 10µF bulk caps in minimal 0.1in² layout.
Technical Context
The MAX619CPA employs a pulse-skipping controller to regulate output voltage by dynamically selecting between voltage-doubler (VIN = 3.0–3.6V), voltage-tripler (VIN = 2.0–2.5V), and hybrid 2.5× mode (VIN = 2.5–3.0V) charge-pump operation. This adaptive topology maintains >80% efficiency across its full input range, with peak efficiency reaching ~90% at VIN = 3.6V and IOUT = 10mA.
Its CMOS-compatible SHDN input enables precise system-level power sequencing, and internal circuitry automatically selects the higher of VIN or VOUT to bias internal logic-ensuring stable operation even as input voltage declines. The device lacks short-circuit protection and requires external capacitors only-no inductors-making it suitable for EMI-sensitive, space-constrained applications.

Pinout & Package
The MAX619CPA is housed in an 8-pin plastic DIP package (0.300" wide), with through-hole mounting and industry-standard lead spacing. Pin 1 is C1+, and pin 8 is C1−; the package includes exposed die pad connected internally to GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| C1+ | Positive terminal of flying capacitor C1 | Connects to one plate of first charge-pump capacitor; critical path for energy transfer in tripler/doubler modes |
| C1− | Negative terminal of flying capacitor C1 | Reference node for C1; tied to GND during charge phase in tripler mode |
| SHDN | Active-high CMOS shutdown control | Pull high to disable output and disconnect load from input; pull low for normal operation |
| GND | Analog and power ground reference | Common return for all internal circuitry and external capacitors; substrate connection point |

Applications
| Battery-Powered Microprocessor Systems | 5V Flash Memory Programmer |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary regulated 5V supply generating clean, low-noise power from declining battery voltage. Use Value: Delivers 50mA at 5V ±4% down to 3V input, extending usable battery life while eliminating inductor-related size and cost penalties. | Use Scenario: Handheld device programs NAND flash via USB-hosted firmware update, requiring brief 5V pulses during write cycles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: On-demand 5V charge-pump supply activated only during flash programming sequences. Use Value: 1µA shutdown current prevents standby drain; fast 0.5ms wake-up time ensures responsive programming without delay. |
| Compact 5V Op-Amp Supply | Two Battery Cells to 5V Conversion |
Use Scenario: Portable medical sensor uses rail-to-rail op-amps for analog signal conditioning, needing low-noise 5V from coin-cell or dual-AA sources. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-EMI, capacitor-only DC-DC stage powering precision analog front-end. Use Value: No inductor means no magnetic coupling into sensitive analog traces; 100mVpp output ripple meets typical op-amp PSRR requirements. | Use Scenario: Industrial handheld terminal runs from two 1.5V alkaline cells and must sustain 5V logic levels across full battery discharge curve (3.0V → 2.0V). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Input-voltage-adaptive boost converter maintaining regulation despite falling cell voltage. Use Value: Tripler-mode operation at 2.0V input ensures 5V output remains within ±4% tolerance even at end-of-life battery voltage. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar regulated charge-pump DC-DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX680CPA | Unregulated 5V output (±8%), fixed 100kHz oscillator, 25mA max output, no shutdown | Lacks regulation and enable control; suited only for non-critical digital logic rails | Select MAX619CPA when ±4% regulation, shutdown, or >25mA load current is required |
| TPS60403DBVR | Regulated 5V ±4%, 60mA output, 1.8V–5.5V input, integrated soft-start, 1.2MHz switching | Wider input range and higher frequency allow smaller capacitors but increases EMI sensitivity | Choose MAX619CPA for lowest EMI, proven 0.1in² layout, and legacy design continuity in commercial-temp battery systems |
Compared with MAX680CPA and TPS60403DBVR, the MAX619CPA uniquely balances tight regulation, ultra-low shutdown current, and minimal board area-making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-life-critical commercial-grade portable instruments where EMI and layout simplicity are prioritized over input voltage flexibility or soft-start.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the MAX619CPA at 2.5V input?
The MAX619CPA guarantees 20mA output current at VIN ≥2V and 50mA at VIN ≥3V. At exactly 2.5V input, the device operates in hybrid 2.5× mode and supports up to approximately 35mA continuously under typical conditions-verified by load-regulation curves in the datasheet showing VOUT remaining within ±4% up to 35mA at VIN = 2.5V. Derating is recommended for sustained operation near thermal limits in the 8-pin DIP package.
Does the MAX619CPA require external feedback resistors to set output voltage?
No, the MAX619CPA does not require external feedback resistors. Its 5V ±4% output is internally regulated using a precision bandgap reference and pulse-skipping control loop. The output voltage is factory-trimmed and fixed-no resistor network or external components are needed to configure or adjust VOUT, simplifying design and reducing bill-of-materials count.
Can the MAX619CPA be used with lithium coin-cell batteries?
Yes, the MAX619CPA can be used with lithium coin-cell batteries such as CR2032 (nominal 3.0V, range ~2.0V–3.3V), as its 2V–3.6V input range fully covers the discharge profile. At 2.0V input, it delivers 20mA with 5V ±4% regulation in tripler mode. However, coin-cell capacity limits total energy delivery-designers should verify runtime against load duty cycle and typical 150µA no-load current.
What is the purpose of the C1+ and C1− pins on the MAX619CPA?
The C1+ and C1− pins on the MAX619CPA connect to the first flying capacitor (C1) in the charge-pump network. During tripler-mode operation, C1 charges to VIN at C1+/C1− and then connects in series with C2 to generate boosted voltage. These pins define the primary energy-transfer path and must be routed with short, low-inductance traces to minimize switching losses and ripple-critical for achieving specified 50mA output and 100mVpp ripple performance.
Is the MAX619CPA pin-compatible with the MAX619CSA?
Yes, the MAX619CPA and MAX619CSA share identical pin configuration, electrical specifications, and functional behavior-the only difference is package type: 8-pin plastic DIP (CPA) versus 8-pin SO (CSA). Both operate over 0°C to +70°C and accept the same external components. Layout adaptation is required for mounting, but no schematic or firmware changes are needed when substituting between these variants.
