Product details
Overview
MAX682ESA+T from Maxim Integrated is a 5V charge-pump voltage regulator IC designed to generate a regulated 5V output from a 2.7V–5.5V input, delivering up to 250mA output current in constant-frequency mode. It operates in either skip mode (low quiescent current) or constant-frequency mode (low ripple), uses no inductors, and requires only three external capacitors and one resistor. It is commonly used as an auxiliary supply for flash memory, PCMCIA cards, and 3.3V-to-5V local conversion in compact battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX682ESA+T datasheet, MAX682ESA+T pinout, MAX682ESA+T application, or MAX682ESA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5V ±4% regulation accuracy, 50kHz–2MHz adjustable switching frequency via SHDN bias current, 100µA quiescent current in skip mode, and SO-8 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX682ESA+T integrates a 1.23V bandgap reference, error amplifier, oscillator, and high-current MOSFET switches to regulate output using either skip-mode (discontinuous switching) or constant-frequency mode (continuous switching). Its dual-function SHDN pin sets both shutdown state and oscillator frequency via external resistor bias current (1µA–50µA).
Input undervoltage lockout activates below 2.25V with 100mV hysteresis; above 3.6V input, constant-frequency mode is mandatory. The device uses charge-pump topology with CXP/CXN terminals driving an external transfer capacitor, eliminating magnetic components while maintaining tight 5V regulation across load and line variations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.05V typical, ±4% tolerance - ensures stable 5V rail for logic-level peripherals without external feedback adjustment. |
| Max Output Current | 250mA at VIN ≥ 3.6V in constant-frequency mode - supports moderate-power digital loads like flash memory or SIM card interfaces. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V–5.5V (SKIP = high); 2.7V–3.6V (SKIP = low) - enables direct use with Li-ion, 3.3V, or 5V supply rails. |
| Switching Frequency | 50kHz–2MHz, set by SHDN bias current - allows tradeoff between capacitor size (higher f → smaller CX/COUT) and EMI/noise profile. |
| Quiescent Current | 100µA in skip mode - extends battery life in standby or low-duty-cycle portable applications. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1µA max - enables deep power-down in always-on systems requiring ultra-low leakage. |
| Regulation Accuracy | ±4% over -40°C to +85°C - meets industrial-grade stability requirements without trimming or calibration. |
Pinout & Package
MAX682ESA+T is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, 1.75mm height, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, with standard SOIC footprint and lead spacing (1.27mm).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - SKIP | Mode select input | Logic-low enables skip mode (low IQ); logic-high forces constant-frequency mode (required for VIN > 3.6V). |
| 2 - SHDN | Shutdown & frequency control | Forward-biased diode input; current sourced into SHDN (1–50µA) sets oscillator frequency; <1µA disables operation. |
| 3 - IN | Main power input | Accepts 2.7V–5.5V (SKIP = high) or 2.7V–3.6V (SKIP = low); bypassed to PGND with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor. |
| 4 - GND | Analog ground reference | Low-impedance connection point for signal return; must be short-traced to PGND to minimize noise coupling. |
| 5 - PGND | Power ground | High-current return path for internal MOSFET switches; separate from GND to reduce ground bounce in switching nodes. |
| 6 - CXN | Negative charge-pump node | Connects to negative terminal of external transfer capacitor (CX); forms half of flying-capacitor switching path. |
| 7 - CXP | Positive charge-pump node | Connects to positive terminal of external transfer capacitor (CX); alternately charges/discharges with IN and OUT. |
| 8 - OUT | Regulated 5V output | Delivers up to 250mA; requires ≥2.2µF low-ESR ceramic or tantalum output capacitor for stable regulation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-inductor design | Eliminates magnetic EMI, board area, and cost associated with inductors - ideal for ultra-thin or RF-sensitive layouts. |
| 1µF/100mA capacitor sizing | Enables use of tiny 1µF input and 0.47µF transfer capacitors at 1MHz, reducing total BOM footprint vs. traditional boost converters. |
| Dual operating modes | Skip mode cuts IQ to 100µA at light loads; constant-frequency mode delivers <100mVpp ripple at full load - selectable per system needs. |
| Integrated UVLO with hysteresis | Shuts down cleanly below 2.25V input and stays off until VIN rises to 2.35V - prevents brownout-induced logic glitches. |
| SO-8 pin-compatible upgrade path | Shares footprint with legacy linear regulators and other Maxim charge pumps - simplifies redesign without layout changes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar charge-pump regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX683EUA+ | Same architecture, 100mA max output, µMAX-8 package (1.1mm height), identical pinout except lower current capability. | Preferred where board height <1.2mm is critical and load current ≤100mA suffices (e.g., low-power sensors). | Select MAX683EUA+ only if space constraints outweigh current requirement; not a drop-in replacement for 250mA loads. |
| TPS60403DBVR | Texas Instruments' 5V charge pump with fixed 500kHz frequency, 60mA output, SOT-23-6 package, no SKIP/SHDN dual-function pins. | Suited for ultra-low-cost, low-current applications where external frequency programming and dual-mode operation are unnecessary. | Choose TPS60403DBVR for cost-sensitive designs with fixed 60mA loads; lacks MAX682ESA+T's flexibility in frequency/load scaling. |
Compared with MAX683EUA+, MAX682ESA+T provides 2.5× higher output current in the same functional family but requires SO-8 layout space; versus TPS60403DBVR, it offers programmable frequency, dual operating modes, and 4× higher current, at the cost of larger package and more complex biasing.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the MAX682ESA+T?
The MAX682ESA+T supports an input voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V when the SKIP pin is held high. However, if SKIP is low, the input voltage must be limited to 2.7V–3.6V to maintain regulation. Exceeding 3.6V with SKIP low risks loss of output regulation, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Always tie SKIP high for inputs above 3.6V.
How does the SHDN pin control both shutdown and switching frequency in the MAX682ESA+T?
The SHDN pin on the MAX682ESA+T functions as a forward-biased diode to ground. When pulled below ~0.7V (e.g., via resistor to GND), it places the device in shutdown, drawing only 0.1µA. When biased with current between 1µA and 50µA (e.g., via resistor to VIN), that current sets the oscillator frequency using REXT = 45000 × (VIN − 0.69V) / fOSC. This dual role eliminates need for separate frequency-setting and enable pins.
Can the MAX682ESA+T be used to power a 5V USB peripheral from a 3.3V supply?
Yes - the MAX682ESA+T is explicitly designed for 3.3V-to-5V local conversion and delivers up to 250mA at 5V with ±4% regulation. In constant-frequency mode (SKIP = high), it maintains <100mVpp output ripple under full load, meeting USB peripheral noise requirements. External component values from Table 3 (e.g., 0.47µF CX, 1µF CIN, 2.2µF COUT) ensure stable operation at 1MHz switching frequency.
What is the purpose of separate GND and PGND pins on the MAX682ESA+T?
GND serves as the analog reference for the error amplifier and bandgap circuitry, while PGND carries high-current switching return paths for the internal MOSFETs. Separating them minimizes ground bounce and noise coupling from switching transients into sensitive analog blocks. Layout best practice requires short, low-impedance traces connecting both to a common ground plane - not daisy-chaining - to preserve regulation accuracy and transient response.
Does the MAX682ESA+T require external feedback resistors to set the 5V output?
No - the MAX682ESA+T features an internal resistive feedback network and 1.23V bandgap reference, providing a fixed 5V output without external resistors. This simplifies design, improves accuracy (±4% over temperature), and eliminates resistor tolerance drift effects. The output voltage is trimmed at wafer test and guaranteed across the full -40°C to +85°C operating range.
