Product details
Overview
MAX662ACSA+ 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 narrow SO package.
For engineers reviewing the MAX662ACSA+ datasheet, MAX662ACSA+ pinout, MAX662ACSA+ application, or MAX662ACSA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 30mA output at ±5% regulation, 0.5µA shutdown current, 185µA quiescent current, and compatibility with byte-wide flash VPP programming in compact industrial and embedded systems.
Technical Context
The MAX662ACSA+ implements a pulse-skipping feedback control scheme that monitors VOUT and activates internal charge pumps only when output voltage droops. It uses two cascaded charge-pump stages (C1/C2) to achieve voltage tripling from VCC to ~3×VCC, then regulates to precisely +12V via internal error amplifier and oscillator.
Its CMOS-compatible SHDN pin (internally pulled up to VCC) enables microprocessor-controlled enable/disable with 0.5µA shutdown supply current. During shutdown, VOUT connects to VCC through a 1kΩ internal switch, and recovery to full output takes ~400µs at VCC = 5V.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar +12V charge-pump DC-DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX662ACPA+ | Same electrical specs, but in 8-pin plastic DIP package (longer lead form, larger footprint) | Preferred for prototyping, through-hole assembly, or legacy board rework where SO mounting is unavailable | Select MAX662ACPA+ only when manual soldering or socket-based evaluation is required; not suitable for automated SMT lines |
| MAX734ESA+ | Switch-mode PWM converter delivering 120mA guaranteed output; requires inductor and higher component count | Used where >30mA flash programming current or multi-byte parallel programming is needed | Choose MAX734ESA+ only if output current demand exceeds 30mA; trade-off is added inductor size, EMI filtering, and layout complexity |
Compared with MAX662ACPA+, MAX662ACSA+ offers identical performance in a smaller, surface-mount package optimized for volume production. Compared with MAX734ESA+, MAX662ACSA+ trades higher current capability for inductor-free simplicity, lower EMI, and reduced BOM count-making it optimal for space- and noise-sensitive flash programming.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output current specification for MAX662ACSA+?
The MAX662ACSA+ guarantees 30mA continuous output current at +12V ±5% under all operating conditions across its 0°C to +70°C temperature range. This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Output Current" with test conditions specifying VCC = 4.75V to 5.5V and full temperature coverage. Absolute maximum continuous output is rated at 50mA, but guaranteed performance is strictly 30mA.
Does MAX662ACSA+ require an inductor?
No, the MAX662ACSA+ is a capacitor-based charge-pump converter and requires no inductor. It uses only four external capacitors (two 0.22µF charge-pump caps and two 4.7µF input/output filter caps) to generate +12V from a 5V supply. This eliminates magnetic components, reduces EMI, and enables ultra-compact PCB layouts-explicitly stated in the General Description and Features sections.
What is the shutdown behavior of MAX662ACSA+?
When SHDN is driven high, the MAX662ACSA+ enters shutdown mode: internal charge pumps halt, VOUT connects to VCC via a 1kΩ internal switch, and supply current drops to 0.5µA. VOUT decays to VCC level in ~13ms. Upon SHDN going low, output recovers to +12V in ~400µs (at VCC = 5V). This behavior is documented in the Detailed Description and Typical Operating Characteristics sections.
Is MAX662ACSA+ pin-compatible with MAX662?
Yes, the MAX662ACSA+ is explicitly described as a "pin-compatible upgrade to the MAX662" with identical pinout, function, and package dimensions. It improves upon the MAX662 with lower quiescent current (185µA vs. unspecified higher value), guaranteed output current over temperature, and elimination of optional capacitor C3-confirmed in the General Description and Applications Information sections.
What capacitor types are recommended for MAX662ACSA+?
For C1 and C2 (charge-pump capacitors), ceramic or tantalum capacitors in the 0.22µF to 1.0µF range are recommended-0.22µF ceramics for commercial temperature operation (Figure 3a), 1.0µF tantalums for extended/military ranges (Figure 3b). For C4 (input) and C5 (output), 4.7µF tantalum (e.g., Sprague 595D475X9016A7) is specified for minimum board area; ceramic values may be reduced to 2µF and 1µF respectively per Applications Information.
