Product details
Overview
MAX662AMSA/PR 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 fits in <0.1 in² board area. Its logic-controlled shutdown reduces supply current to 0.5µA.
For engineers reviewing the MAX662AMSA/PR datasheet, MAX662AMSA/PR pinout, MAX662AMSA/PR application, or MAX662AMSA/PR equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 30mA output at ±5% regulation, 185µA quiescent current, 8-pin narrow SO package compatibility, and flash EEPROM VPP supply timing behavior during microprocessor-controlled shutdown transitions.
Technical Context
The MAX662AMSA/PR implements a pulse-skipping feedback control scheme that monitors VOUT and activates internal charge-pump switches only when output voltage droops. It uses two external flying capacitors (C1, C2) and two bulk capacitors (C4, C5) to generate +12V via voltage tripling-no magnetic components required.
Its oscillator operates at 500kHz nominal frequency, with switching duty increasing under higher load or lower input voltage. In shutdown mode (SHDN = high), internal 1kΩ switch connects VCC to VOUT, and charge pumps halt completely-reducing total current to 0.5µA while maintaining VOUT ≈ VCC.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | +12V ±5% - ensures reliable byte-wide flash memory VPP programming across temperature and load |
| Output Current | Guaranteed 30mA continuous - sufficient for standard flash EEPROM write/erase cycles |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.75V to 5.5V - compatible with standard 5V ±5% logic rails without external LDO pre-regulation |
| Quiescent Current | 185µA - enables low-power system standby without disabling main 5V rail |
| Shutdown Current | 0.5µA - allows microprocessor-controlled power gating with negligible leakage impact |
| Oscillator Frequency | 500kHz nominal - determines capacitor sizing and ripple frequency for EMI filtering |
| Power Efficiency | 76% typical at 5V/30mA - minimizes thermal rise in compact surface-mount layouts |
Pinout & Package
MAX662AMSA/PR is supplied in an 8-pin narrow SO (Small Outline) package, 0.150" wide, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and 1.27mm pitch. Pin 1 marked with dot; pin numbering counterclockwise from top-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| C1− (Pin 1) | Negative terminal of first flying capacitor | Return path for charge transfer during pump phase; must be routed with minimal trace inductance |
| C1+ (Pin 2) | Positive terminal of first flying capacitor | Connects to VCC during charging phase; forms first stage of voltage tripler |
| C2− (Pin 3) | Negative terminal of second flying capacitor | Shared node between C1 and C2 during series connection; critical for voltage stacking integrity |
| C2+ (Pin 4) | Positive terminal of second flying capacitor | Drives VOUT during transfer phase; directly sets output voltage amplitude |
| VCC (Pin 5) | Main supply input | Accepts 4.75V–5.5V; powers internal oscillator, logic, and charge-pump drivers |
| VOUT (Pin 6) | +12V regulated output | Supplies flash VPP pin; remains at VCC during shutdown via internal 1kΩ switch |
| GND (Pin 7) | Analog/digital ground reference | Common return for all capacitors and internal circuitry; must be low-impedance plane |
| SHDN (Pin 8) | Active-high shutdown control | TTL/CMOS-compatible; internally pulled up to VCC; connect to GND for normal operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Inductorless charge-pump topology | Eliminates EMI-sensitive magnetics and simplifies layout-only four ceramic/tantalum capacitors required |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar regulated charge-pump boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX662ACSA | Same die, commercial-temp (0°C to +70°C) grade; identical electrical specs and pinout | Limited to non-industrial environments; not qualified for extended temperature operation | Select MAX662AMSA/PR for designs requiring −40°C to +85°C operation; MAX662ACSA suffices for office/indoor consumer use |
| MAX734ESA | Switch-mode PWM DC-DC; 120mA output; requires inductor; higher efficiency (85%) at full load | Supports higher-current flash programming and sustained loads beyond 30mA | Choose MAX734ESA when >30mA continuous output or >80% efficiency is mandatory; accept added inductor size and EMI filtering complexity |
Compared with MAX662ACSA, MAX662AMSA/PR provides extended temperature qualification without sacrificing performance; compared with MAX734ESA, it trades higher output current for inductorless simplicity, smaller footprint, and lower EMI-making it optimal for space- and noise-sensitive flash programming.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range specified for the MAX662AMSA/PR?
The MAX662AMSA/PR is rated for −40°C to +85°C operation, matching the extended temperature grade of the MAX662AE series. This specification is validated across all electrical parameters including output voltage regulation, 30mA load capability, and shutdown current-ensuring reliability in industrial and automotive-adjacent environments where the MAX662AMSA/PR is commonly deployed.
Does the MAX662AMSA/PR require the C3 capacitor used in the original MAX662 design?
No, the MAX662AMSA/PR does not require the C3 capacitor. The datasheet explicitly states that C3 is "not required" for the MAX662A and its presence has no effect on performance. This simplifies bill-of-materials and layout versus legacy MAX662 implementations-confirming MAX662AMSA/PR as a true drop-in upgrade with reduced component count.
How does the MAX662AMSA/PR behave during shutdown mode?
When SHDN is driven high, the MAX662AMSA/PR halts all charge-pump switching and connects VCC to VOUT through an internal 1kΩ resistor. As a result, VOUT decays to VCC level within approximately 13ms. During this state, total supply current drops to 0.5µA-verified across temperature-enabling precise microprocessor-controlled power gating for flash programming sequences without external FETs or level shifters.
Can multiple MAX662AMSA/PR devices be paralleled to increase output current?
Yes, two MAX662AMSA/PR units can be paralleled by connecting VCC, VOUT, and GND pins together. However, the absolute maximum continuous output current remains 50mA regardless of parallel count-per Absolute Maximum Ratings. Layout must ensure matched trace lengths and shared or duplicated bypass/filter capacitors; uneven loading may cause one device to supply most of the current, so derating is advised for robust designs.
What capacitor types and values are recommended for stable operation of the MAX662AMSA/PR?
For stable operation, use 0.22µF ceramic or tantalum capacitors for C1 and C2 (charge-pump flying caps); 4.7µF tantalum (e.g., Sprague 595D475X9016A7) for C4 (input) and C5 (output). At extended temperatures, 1.0µF tantalum is preferred for C1/C2. Ceramic alternatives allow reducing C4/C5 to 2µF/1µF respectively-but aluminum electrolytics require ≥10µF to maintain regulation and ripple performance.
