Product details
Overview
MAX662ACPA from Maxim Integrated is a regulated +12V, 30mA charge-pump DC-DC converter designed for flash memory programming supplies. It delivers ±5% output regulation from 4.75V–5.5V input, requires no inductor, uses only four external capacitors, and operates across 0°C to +70°C in an 8-pin plastic DIP package.
For engineers reviewing the MAX662ACPA datasheet, MAX662ACPA pinout, MAX662ACPA application, or MAX662ACPA equivalent, key selection considerations include guaranteed 30mA output at ±5% regulation, 0.5µA shutdown current, 185µA quiescent current, and compatibility with byte-wide flash VPP programming requirements.
Technical Context
The MAX662ACPA implements a pulse-skipping feedback control scheme to regulate +12V output by dynamically adjusting charge-pump switching frequency based on load and input voltage. Its internal oscillator operates at 500kHz nominal frequency, enabling efficient voltage tripling via two external flying capacitors (C1, C2) and two filter capacitors (C4, C5).
It integrates TTL/CMOS-compatible logic-controlled shutdown (active-high SHDN), internally pulled up to VCC, which disables charge-pump action and connects VOUT to VCC through a 1kΩ switch. Output voltage settles to 12V in ~400µs after exit from shutdown, with VOUT declining to VCC in ~13ms upon entry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

| Output Current | Guaranteed 30mA continuous - sufficient for byte-wide flash write/erase cycles |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.75V to 5.5V - compatible with standard 5V ±5% logic supply rails |
| Quiescent Current | 185µA - minimizes standby power in battery-backed or low-power systems |
| Shutdown Current | 0.5µA - enables microprocessor-controlled power gating without significant leakage |
| Oscillator Frequency | 500kHz nominal - determines charge-transfer timing and ripple profile under load |
| Power Efficiency | 76% typical at 5V input, 30mA load - reduces thermal stress in compact layouts |
Pinout & Package
MAX662ACPA is housed in an 8-pin plastic DIP (dual in-line package) with 0.3-inch body width and 0.1-inch lead pitch, suitable for through-hole prototyping and industrial PCB assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 C1− | Negative terminal of first flying capacitor | Completes charge phase for C1 during pump cycle; must be low-inductance connection |
| 2 C1+ | Positive terminal of first flying capacitor | Connects to VCC during charging phase; critical path for energy transfer |
| 3 C2− | Negative terminal of second flying capacitor | Forms series stack with C1+ to enable voltage tripling; shared node with C1− in transfer mode |
| 4 C2+ | Positive terminal of second flying capacitor | Connected to VOUT during transfer phase; defines high-side output node |
| 5 VCC | Main power input | Supplies all internal circuitry and flying capacitors; requires local 4.7µF bypass (C4) |
| 6 VOUT | +12V regulated output | Delivers programming voltage to flash VPP; includes 4.7µF output filter (C5) for ripple suppression |
| 7 GND | Ground reference | Common return for all internal blocks and external capacitors; must be low-impedance plane |
| 8 SHDN | Active-high shutdown control | CMOS/TTL-compatible input; internally pulled up to VCC; tie to GND for normal operation |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX662ACSA | Same electrical specs, but in 8-pin SO package (surface-mount) | Requires rework for PCB layout; better thermal performance and smaller footprint | Select when automated SMT assembly, higher density, or improved thermal management is required |
| MAX734CPA | Switch-mode PWM converter; 120mA output, 4.5V–5.5V input, requires inductor | Higher output current and efficiency, but larger solution size and EMI sensitivity | Select when >30mA flash programming or multi-device parallel operation is needed |
Compared with MAX662ACSA and MAX734CPA, the MAX662ACPA offers the smallest board area and simplest BOM for 30mA flash programming, trading off current capability and package format-but remains optimal where through-hole assembly, minimal component count, and proven reliability in commercial-temperature embedded systems are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current specification for the MAX662ACPA?
The MAX662ACPA guarantees 30mA continuous output current across its full operating temperature range (0°C to +70°C). While the absolute maximum rating allows 50mA, sustained operation above 30mA may cause output voltage droop beyond ±5% tolerance or thermal stress. The device's pulse-skipping regulation maintains stability only within the 30mA specified limit under all conditions.
Does the MAX662ACPA require an external feedback resistor network to regulate its +12V output?
No, the MAX662ACPA does not require external feedback resistors. Its +12V ±5% output is internally regulated using a precision bandgap reference and pulse-skipping control loop. All regulation circuitry-including error amplifier, oscillator, and charge-pump drivers-is integrated, making the MAX662ACPA a fully self-contained solution requiring only four external capacitors.
Can the MAX662ACPA be used to power devices other than flash memory?
Yes, the MAX662ACPA is routinely applied beyond flash programming-including compact +12V op-amp supplies, low-voltage MOSFET gate drivers, and dual-output (+12V/+20V) configurations. Its regulated output, low quiescent current (185µA), and logic-controlled shutdown make it suitable for any system needing a small-footprint, capacitor-only +12V source from a 5V rail.
What is the function of the SHDN pin on the MAX662ACPA, and how should it be connected?
The SHDN pin on the MAX662ACPA is an active-high, CMOS/TTL-compatible input that halts charge-pump operation and connects VOUT to VCC via a 1kΩ internal switch. For normal operation, SHDN must be tied to GND. Leaving it unconnected defaults to VCC (shutdown) due to internal pull-up. Driving SHDN high reduces supply current to 0.5µA, enabling microprocessor-controlled VPP activation.
Is the MAX662ACPA pin-compatible with the original MAX662, and what improvements does it offer?
Yes, the MAX662ACPA is 100% pin-compatible with the MAX662 and serves as a direct upgrade. It improves quiescent current (185µA vs. unspecified higher value), reduces shutdown current (0.5µA vs. ~5µA), guarantees 30mA output across temperature, and eliminates the need for external capacitor C3-simplifying the BOM and enhancing reliability without layout changes.
