Product details
Overview
MAX683EUA+ from Maxim Integrated is a 5V fixed-output charge-pump voltage regulator IC designed for compact, low-noise auxiliary power in battery-powered systems. It delivers up to 100mA output current from a 2.7V–5.5V input, operates in skip or constant-frequency mode (50kHz–2MHz), achieves ±4% output regulation, and requires only three external capacitors and one resistor-no inductor needed. It targets flash memory supplies and PCMCIA card power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MAX683EUA+ datasheet, MAX683EUA+ pinout, MAX683EUA+ application, or MAX683EUA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100mA output capability, 8-pin µMAX package (1.1mm height), shutdown current of 0.1µA, and dual-mode operation enabling tradeoffs between light-load efficiency and output ripple performance.
Technical Context
The MAX683EUA+ integrates an error amplifier, 1.23V bandgap reference, internal feedback network, oscillator, high-current MOSFET switches, and dual-function SHDN logic. Its regulation architecture supports two distinct modes: skip mode (low-quiescent-current, variable-frequency) and constant-frequency mode (low-ripple, fixed switching frequency).
In skip mode (SKIP = low), the device disables switching when output exceeds 5V and resumes only when voltage drops-reducing no-load current to 0.18mA. In constant-frequency mode (SKIP = high), oscillator frequency is set by SHDN pin current (1–50µA), enabling precise ripple control and supporting input voltages up to 5.5V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.05V (±4% tolerance); ensures stable logic-level supply for 5V peripherals without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 100mA continuous; sufficient for flash memory VCC, SIM card interfaces, and low-power microcontroller peripherals. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V–5.5V (SKIP = high); supports single-cell Li-ion, 3.3V rails, and legacy 5V systems with direct compatibility. |
| Quiescent Current | 0.18mA typical (no load, SKIP = low); enables multi-year battery life in always-on backup or sensor nodes. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1µA max; reduces system standby power to negligible levels during deep sleep or storage. |
| Switching Frequency | 50kHz–2MHz (externally adjustable via SHDN current); allows optimization of capacitor size vs. EMI filtering requirements. |
| Package | 8-pin µMAX (3mm × 3mm × 1.1mm); enables ultra-thin PCB designs in handhelds, smart cards, and wearables. |
Pinout & Package
MAX683EUA+ uses an 8-pin µMAX package (3mm × 3mm, 1.1mm height), optimized for space-constrained applications including PCMCIA cards and miniature embedded modules.
| 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 | Dual-function control pin | Drives shutdown when pulled low; sets oscillator frequency via sourced current (1–50µA) when pulled high through REXT. |
| 3 - IN | Main power input | Accepts 2.7V–5.5V; bypassed to PGND with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor to suppress input ripple and noise. |
| 4 - GND | Analog ground reference | Must be short-traced to PGND to minimize ground bounce and ensure stable regulation accuracy. |
| 5 - PGND | Power ground return | Carries high-frequency switch currents; isolated from signal ground to prevent coupling into sensitive analog sections. |
| 6 - CXN | Negative terminal of charge-pump capacitor | Connects to negative side of 0.22–0.47µF transfer capacitor; critical path for charge recycling efficiency. |
| 7 - CXP | Positive terminal of charge-pump capacitor | Connects to positive side of transfer capacitor; forms flying-capacitor node essential for voltage doubling topology. |
| 8 - OUT | Regulated 5V output | Delivers up to 100mA; requires ≥1µF low-ESR ceramic output capacitor to maintain <80mV ripple in constant-frequency mode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-inductor architecture | Eliminates magnetic components, reducing EMI, board area, and BOM cost-ideal for RF-sensitive or ultra-thin devices. |
| 1µF capacitor per 100mA output | Enables use of tiny 0.47µF CX and 1µF CIN/COUT in constant-frequency mode, cutting total external capacitance by >50% vs. traditional boost converters. |
| Dual operating modes | Skip mode achieves 0.18mA no-load IQ for extended battery life; constant-frequency mode delivers <80mV ripple at 1MHz for noise-sensitive analog circuits. |
| Ultra-low shutdown current | 0.1µA shutdown draw preserves battery capacity over years-critical for backup power, real-time clocks, and security modules. |
| Input undervoltage lockout | Deactivates below 2.25V with 100mV hysteresis, preventing brownout operation and ensuring clean power sequencing in Li-ion discharge profiles. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar charge-pump regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX682ESA+ | Higher 250mA output current; SO-8 package (4.9mm × 6mm, 1.75mm height); same pinout but larger footprint and thermal profile. | Suitable for higher-current loads like multi-chip flash arrays or dual-SIM platforms where board space permits SO-8. | Select MAX682ESA+ only if >100mA output is required and µMAX height constraint does not apply. |
| TPS60403DBVR | TI's 5V charge pump with 60mA output, 1.8–5.5V input, fixed 500kHz frequency, and 6-pin SOT-23 package; no SKIP mode or frequency adjustment. | Targeted at cost-sensitive, low-complexity applications where fixed-frequency simplicity outweighs efficiency flexibility. | Choose TPS60403DBVR for simpler BOMs and lower unit cost when 60mA output and absence of skip mode are acceptable. |
Compared with MAX682ESA+, MAX683EUA+ trades 150mA output headroom for 40% smaller footprint and 35% lower profile-making it optimal for height-limited designs. Against TPS60403DBVR, MAX683EUA+ offers 67% higher output current, adjustable frequency, and skip mode for superior battery life, at the cost of two extra pins and slightly higher design complexity.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current specification for the MAX683EUA+?
The MAX683EUA+ delivers up to 100mA of continuous output current under typical conditions (VIN = 3.3V, TA = +25°C). Absolute maximum continuous output current is rated at 150mA, but sustained operation above 100mA may require thermal derating depending on PCB layout and ambient temperature. The MAX683EUA+ datasheet specifies 100mA as the guaranteed maximum output in its ordering information and electrical characteristics tables.
Does the MAX683EUA+ require an inductor in its application circuit?
No, the MAX683EUA+ is a charge-pump regulator and does not require an inductor. It operates using a flying capacitor (CX) topology-only three external capacitors (CIN, CX, COUT) and one resistor (REXT for frequency setting) are needed. This eliminates magnetic components, reduces EMI, and simplifies layout, making the MAX683EUA+ ideal for space- and noise-sensitive applications.
How does the SKIP pin affect the operation of the MAX683EUA+?
The SKIP pin on the MAX683EUA+ selects between two regulation modes: when pulled low, the MAX683EUA+ enters skip mode-disabling switching during light loads to minimize quiescent current (0.18mA typical); when pulled high, it operates in constant-frequency mode (50kHz–2MHz), delivering lower output ripple (<80mV) and supporting input voltages up to 5.5V. For VIN > 3.6V, SKIP must be high to ensure regulation.
What package type is used by the MAX683EUA+ and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
The MAX683EUA+ uses an 8-pin µMAX package (also referred to as uMAX), measuring 3.0mm × 3.0mm in footprint and just 1.1mm in height. This ultra-low-profile package enables integration into height-constrained applications such as PCMCIA cards, smart cards, and wearable electronics-where standard SO-8 or MSOP packages would exceed mechanical clearance limits.
Can the MAX683EUA+ be used with input voltages below 3.0V?
Yes, the MAX683EUA+ supports an input voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V. At 2.7V input (with SKIP = high), it maintains regulated 5V output up to ~60mA load while staying within ±4% tolerance. Operation below 2.7V is not guaranteed-the device incorporates undervoltage lockout that disables regulation below 2.25V to prevent unregulated output and ensure system reliability.
