Product details
Overview
The MAX683EUA+T 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 serves as a space-constrained 3.3V-to-5V local converter in PCMCIA cards and flash memory supplies.
For engineers reviewing the MAX683EUA+T datasheet, MAX683EUA+T pinout, MAX683EUA+T application, or MAX683EUA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100mA output capability, µMAX-8 package height of 1.1mm, shutdown current of 0.1µA, adjustable switching frequency, and compatibility with ceramic or tantalum output capacitors down to 0.47µF.
Technical Context
The MAX683EUA+T implements a regulated charge-pump doubler architecture using internal MOSFET switches, a 1.23V bandgap reference, and error amplifier feedback. Its dual-mode operation-skip mode (low IQ, variable frequency) and constant-frequency mode (low ripple, fixed fOSC)-is selected via the SKIP pin, with mandatory constant-frequency operation above 3.6V input.
Frequency is set by SHDN pin bias current (1–50µA), calculated via REXT = 45k·(VIN − 0.69V)/fOSC, enabling precise noise/efficiency tradeoffs. Undervoltage lockout activates below 2.25V (100mV hysteresis), and power dissipation follows PDISS = IOUT·(2·VIN − VOUT), constrained by the 8-pin µMAX package's 330mW limit at +70°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±4% - ensures stable logic-level supply for 5V peripherals without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 100mA - supports moderate-power loads like flash memory write cycles 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 rails, or USB-powered systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 50kHz–2MHz (externally adjustable) - allows optimization: high fOSC reduces capacitor size; low fOSC improves light-load efficiency. |
| Quiescent Current | 100µA in pulse-skipping mode - extends battery life in standby or intermittent-use applications. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1µA - minimizes drain during system sleep, critical for long-life portable devices. |
| Package | 8-pin µMAX (3mm × 3mm × 1.1mm) - ultra-low-profile footprint ideal for thin PCMCIA cards and miniature equipment. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX683EUA+T is housed in an 8-pin µMAX package (3mm × 3mm, 1.1mm height), optimized for minimal PCB area and low profile in space-constrained designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - SKIP | Mode select input | Logic-low enables skip mode (low IQ); logic-high forces constant-frequency mode (low ripple) and is required for VIN > 3.6V. |
| 2 - SHDN | Shutdown & frequency control | Sinking ≥1µA disables shutdown and sets oscillator frequency; <1µA places device in 0.1µA shutdown state. |
| 3 - IN | Main power input | Accepts 2.7V–5.5V (SKIP = high) or 2.7V–3.6V (SKIP = low); bypassed to PGND with ≥0.47µF capacitor. |
| 4 - GND | Analog ground reference | Low-impedance return path for error amplifier and reference; must be short-traced to PGND. |
| 5 - PGND | Power ground | High-current return for charge-pump switches; separate from GND to minimize noise coupling. |
| 6 - CXN | Negative transfer capacitor terminal | Connects to negative side of 0.22–0.47µF charge-pump capacitor (CX); critical for charge transfer timing. |
| 7 - CXP | Positive transfer capacitor terminal | Connects to positive side of CX; forms flying capacitor node that doubles and regulates input to 5V. |
| 8 - OUT | Regulated 5V output | Delivers up to 100mA; requires ≥0.47µF ceramic or 2.2µF tantalum output capacitor to meet ripple specs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-inductor design | Eliminates EMI-prone magnetics and simplifies layout-only three capacitors and one resistor required for full 5V regulation. |
| Ultra-small capacitor support | Enables 0.47µF CX and 0.47µF COUT in constant-frequency mode, reducing board area by >50% vs. traditional boost converters. |
| Dual operating modes | Skip mode cuts no-load IQ to 100µA; constant-frequency mode maintains <80mV ripple at 1MHz, supporting noise-sensitive analog circuits. |
| Integrated UVLO with hysteresis | Shuts down cleanly below 2.25V input and stays off until VIN rises to 2.35V, preventing brownout oscillation in fading battery conditions. |
| Low-profile µMAX package | 1.1mm height enables use in sub-2mm-thick modules such as GSM SIMM cards and ultraportable medical sensors. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar charge-pump regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX684EUA+T | 50mA max output, same µMAX-8 package, identical pinout and control interface. | Better suited for ultra-low-power SIM cards or RTC backup where <50mA suffices. | Select when load current ≤50mA and smallest possible quiescent current is prioritized over output drive. |
| TPS60403DBVR | TI part: 60mA output, fixed 5V, 1.2MHz fOSC, 1.5µA IQ (vs. 100µA), SOT-23-6 package. | Lacks SKIP mode and SHDN-based frequency tuning; simpler but less flexible control. | Choose for cost-sensitive, low-complexity designs needing basic 5V boost without programmable frequency or dual-mode operation. |
Compared with MAX683EUA+T, MAX684EUA+T offers lower output current but identical footprint and control scheme-ideal for derating or lower-power variants-while TPS60403DBVR trades flexibility for smaller size and lower IQ, requiring redesign for pinout and feature compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum output current specification for the MAX683EUA+T?
The MAX683EUA+T is rated for a maximum continuous output current of 100mA under specified thermal conditions. Absolute maximum ratings allow brief 150mA peaks, but sustained operation above 100mA risks exceeding the µMAX package's 330mW power dissipation limit at ambient temperatures above +70°C. Designers should verify thermal performance using PDISS = IOUT·(2·VIN − 5V) and derate accordingly.
Can the MAX683EUA+T operate from a 5V input supply?
Yes, the MAX683EUA+T supports input voltages up to 5.5V-but only when SKIP is held high (constant-frequency mode). Operation with SKIP = low is restricted to VIN ≤ 3.6V per datasheet specifications. At 5V input, the device delivers regulated 5V output with typical efficiency of ~75% at 50mA load in constant-frequency mode, and requires appropriate external capacitor sizing per Table 3.
How is switching frequency programmed on the MAX683EUA+T?
Switching frequency on the MAX683EUA+T is set by the current sourced into the SHDN pin: REXT = 45k·(VIN − 0.69V)/fOSC (REXT in kΩ, fOSC in kHz). For example, with VIN = 3.3V and desired fOSC = 1MHz, REXT ≈ 118kΩ. SHDN bias current must stay within 1–50µA for guaranteed operation; values outside this range may cause erratic switching or shutdown.
What is the purpose of the separate PGND and GND pins on the MAX683EUA+T?
The MAX683EUA+T separates PGND (power ground) and GND (analog ground) to isolate high-current charge-pump switch return paths from sensitive analog circuitry (error amplifier, reference). PGND carries pulsed currents up to 200mA during CX charging/discharging; routing it directly to input/output capacitors with short, wide traces prevents ground bounce. GND provides quiet reference for feedback and shutdown logic-connecting them only at a single point near CIN avoids noise coupling into regulation.
Does the MAX683EUA+T require external feedback resistors to set output voltage?
No, the MAX683EUA+T provides a fixed 5V output with internal feedback-no external resistors are needed. The device integrates a precision 1.23V bandgap reference and internal resistive divider to achieve ±4% output regulation across temperature and load. This simplifies design, eliminates resistor tolerance errors, and reduces bill-of-materials count compared to adjustable regulators.
