Product details
Overview
The MAX662AESA+ 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 inductors, uses only four external capacitors, and operates across –40°C to +85°C.
For engineers reviewing the MAX662AESA+ datasheet, MAX662AESA+ pinout, MAX662AESA+ application, or MAX662AESA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 30mA output at ±5% regulation, logic-controlled shutdown (0.5µA), 185µA quiescent current, and compatibility with compact surface-mount layouts under 0.1in².
Technical Context
The MAX662AESA+ implements a pulse-skipping feedback control scheme that monitors VOUT and activates internal charge-pump switches (S1/S2) only when output voltage droops. It performs voltage tripling via two-stage capacitor switching (C1/C2), achieving regulated +12V without magnetic components.
Its oscillator runs at 500kHz nominal frequency, with variable duty cycling to maintain regulation across load (0–30mA) and input (4.75–5.5V) variations. Shutdown mode disconnects charge pumps and connects VOUT to VCC through a 1kΩ internal switch, reducing supply current to 0.5µA.

| 3 C2− | Negative terminal of second charge-pump capacitor | Common node between C1 and C2 during series connection; ties to internal switch matrix |
| 4 C2+ | Positive terminal of second charge-pump capacitor | High-side node of C2; forms series stack with C1 to generate 3×VCC intermediate voltage |
| 5 VCC | Main supply input | Power source for internal oscillator, logic, and charge-pump drivers; requires local 4.7µF bypass |
| 6 VOUT | +12V regulated output | Delivers programming voltage to flash VPP pin; connects to VCC via 1kΩ switch in shutdown |
| 7 GND | Analog and power ground reference | Common return for all internal circuits 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 |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary +12V source in cascaded charge-pump topology (Figure 4); feeds secondary doubler stage. Use Value: Achieves +20V at ~16mA while maintaining +12V regulation-enables dual-voltage systems without extra ICs. |
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 functionality but rated for 0°C to +70°C commercial temperature range; higher ICC (500µA typical) | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer applications where extended temperature is not required | Select MAX662ACSA+ only if ambient operating temperature remains within 0°C–70°C and lower shutdown current is not critical |
| MAX734CPA+ | Switch-mode PWM converter; 120mA output, 85% efficiency, requires inductor and diode | Used when higher current (>30mA) or better efficiency is mandatory; trades board area for performance | Choose MAX734CPA+ only if flash programming demands >30mA sustained current or >76% efficiency is required |
Compared with MAX662ACSA+, the MAX662AESA+ offers wider temperature support and lower quiescent current; compared with MAX734CPA+, it eliminates inductors and reduces EMI but sacrifices output current and peak efficiency-making MAX662AESA+ optimal for compact, low-current flash programming.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output current specification for the MAX662AESA+?
The MAX662AESA+ guarantees 30mA continuous output current across its full operating temperature range of –40°C to +85°C. This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Output Current" with test conditions specifying VCC = 4.75V to 5.5V and load regulation verified at 30mA. Absolute maximum continuous output is 50mA, but guaranteed performance is specified at 30mA.
Does the MAX662AESA+ require an external inductor?
No, the MAX662AESA+ does not require an external inductor. It uses a capacitor-based charge-pump architecture with two external flying capacitors (C1 and C2) and two filter capacitors (C4 and C5). The datasheet explicitly states "No Inductor-Uses Only 4 Capacitors" and highlights this as a key feature to reduce EMI and board area.
What is the function of the SHDN pin on the MAX662AESA+?
The SHDN pin on the MAX662AESA+ is an active-high, CMOS/TTL-compatible shutdown control input. When driven high, it halts charge-pump switching and connects VOUT to VCC via a 1kΩ internal switch, reducing supply current to 0.5µA. When tied to GND, the MAX662AESA+ operates normally. The pin is internally pulled up to VCC, so no external pull-up is required.
Can the MAX662AESA+ be used to generate +20V in addition to +12V?
Yes, the MAX662AESA+ can be used in a cascaded configuration (as shown in Figure 4 of the datasheet) to generate both +12V and +20V from a single 5V input. In this setup, the MAX662AESA+ provides the +12V rail, which then feeds a secondary voltage-doubler stage to produce +20V. The +20V output delivers up to ~16mA when the +12V rail is loaded at 34mA.
What package type and temperature grade does the MAX662AESA+ have?
The MAX662AESA+ is packaged in an 8-pin narrow SO (Small Outline) surface-mount package and is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C. This is explicitly defined in the Ordering Information table, where "ESA" denotes the extended temperature SO package variant-distinct from "CSA" (commercial) and "MJA" (military) versions.
