Product details
Overview
MAX762ESA+T from Maxim Integrated is a high-efficiency, current-limited pulse-frequency-modulated (PFM) step-up DC-DC converter with fixed 15V output, 150mA load capability, 110µA max supply current, and internal 1A N-channel power MOSFET. It operates from 2V to 16.5V input and supports bootstrapped/non-bootstrapped modes for flash memory programming in battery-powered PCMCIA cards.
For engineers reviewing the MAX762ESA+T datasheet, MAX762ESA+T pinout, MAX762ESA+T application, or MAX762ESA+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 15V fixed output, -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range, low-quiescent-current PFM control, and integrated low-battery detection (LBI/LBO) for portable system power management.
Technical Context
The MAX762ESA+T uses a proprietary current-limited PFM scheme combining 8µs maximum on-time and 1.3µs minimum off-time one-shots with peak current limiting (1A) to sustain continuous-conduction mode (CCM) under heavy loads while maintaining ultra-low 110µA supply current at light loads. Its 300kHz switching frequency enables use of compact 18µH surface-mount inductors.
It integrates a 1.5V reference (±30mV over temperature), LBI/LBO low-battery comparator with 20mV hysteresis, and TTL/CMOS-compatible SHDN input. In bootstrapped mode, V+ serves as both input and output voltage sense node; in non-bootstrapped mode, external resistors set adjustable output from 5V to 16.5V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 15V ±3.6% (14.4V–15.6V); enables direct powering of 15V logic or analog circuitry without feedback resistors. |
| Max Output Current | 150mA at 5V input; sufficient for programming flash memory arrays requiring stable 15V bias. |
| Supply Current | 110µA max (typ. 300µA); ensures minimal battery drain in always-on or low-duty-cycle portable systems. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.0V to 16.5V; supports single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2V), dual-cell alkaline (2–3.2V), and wide industrial rails. |
| Switching Frequency | Up to 300kHz; allows use of small 18µH SMT inductors and reduces EMI compared to sub-100kHz converters. |
| Peak Switch Current | 1.0A (min); supports robust CCM operation up to full 150mA load with margin for transient surges. |
| Shutdown Current | 5µA max; enables deep sleep states in battery-backed systems without compromising wake-up latency. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.50V ±30mV; provides precision feedback for external adjustable configurations and LBI threshold setting. |
Pinout & Package
MAX762ESA+T is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package, 150mil width, RoHS-compliant, with exposed pad not present. Pin 1 is marked by beveled corner; device orientation follows standard SO top-view labeling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| LBI | Low-battery input | Analog input to internal comparator; sets trip point via resistor divider to 1.5V reference; 20mV hysteresis prevents chatter. |
| SHDN | Active-high shutdown control | TTL/CMOS-compatible enable; pulls internal bias and reference offline when high, reducing ICC to <5µA. |
| V+ | Main power input / output sense | Supplies IC core; in bootstrapped mode, also senses output voltage for regulation; absolute max 17V. |
| FB | Feedback input | Connects to GND for fixed 15V bootstrapped operation; connects to resistor divider for adjustable output. |
| REF | 1.5V precision reference output | Sources up to 100µA; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass; used for LBI threshold and external feedback networks. |
| LX | Internal FET drain node | Switching node driving external inductor/diode; 1Ω on-resistance; handles 1A peak current; must be routed short and low-inductance. |
| GND | Power and signal ground | Common return for all currents; star-ground connection critical for noise immunity and stability. |
| LBO | Open-drain low-battery output | Drives low when LBI < 1.5V; requires external pull-up to VOUT or V+; high-impedance during shutdown. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Current-limited PFM control | Combines 110µA light-load IQ with 86% efficiency at 150mA by dynamically scaling peak current between 0.5A (first two pulses) and 1A (full load). |
| Integrated 1A N-channel FET | Eliminates external switch; reduces BOM count and layout area; enables complete boost solution with only inductor, diode, and two capacitors. |
| Bootstrapped operation mode | Uses VOUT to power internal circuitry, enabling higher gate drive and improved efficiency below 4V input-critical for single-cell battery start-up. |
| Low-battery detection (LBI/LBO) | On-chip comparator with 20mV hysteresis and open-drain output; supports user-defined trip points (e.g., 3.0V or 3.3V) using two resistors. |
| 300kHz fixed-frequency switching | Enables use of miniature 18µH SMT inductors (e.g., Sumida CD54-180); reduces radiated EMI vs. variable-frequency PFM alternatives. |
| -40°C to +85°C operating range | Qualified per MAX76_E_A grade; supports industrial and automotive accessory applications where ambient temperature exceeds commercial limits. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-up DC-DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX761ESA+T | Fixed 12V output (vs. 15V); identical pinout, package, and electrical specs except VOUT and FB configuration. | Suitable where 12V logic or memory programming is required instead of 15V; no redesign needed beyond output capacitor and diode rating check. | Select MAX761ESA+T only if system requires 12V output; otherwise MAX762ESA+T is direct functional match for 15V needs. |
| TPS61040DRVR | Adjustable 1.8–28V output; 28V abs max input; 0.5A switch; 500kHz switching; no integrated LBO/LBI comparator. | Requires external feedback resistors and low-battery circuitry; better suited for wide-output-range designs but adds component count and layout complexity. | Choose TPS61040DRVR only when adjustable output or higher input voltage (>16.5V) is mandatory; MAX762ESA+T offers lower IQ and integrated monitoring. |
Compared with MAX761ESA+T, MAX762ESA+T delivers +3V higher output for 15V-specific loads without changing layout; versus TPS61040DRVR, it trades adjustability for lower quiescent current, integrated battery monitoring, and guaranteed 15V accuracy-critical for flash programming reliability.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage tolerance for MAX762ESA+T?
The MAX762ESA+T guarantees a 15V output with ±3.6% tolerance (14.4V to 15.6V) across temperature and load, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Output Voltage" for MAX762 devices. This applies to bootstrapped fixed-output operation with FB tied to GND.
Can MAX762ESA+T operate from a single 3.7V Li-ion cell?
Yes, MAX762ESA+T starts up reliably from 2.0V and operates continuously down to ~2.7V in bootstrapped mode. With a nominal 3.7V Li-ion cell, it delivers full 150mA at 15V output, supporting flash programming throughout the battery discharge curve until cutoff.
Does MAX762ESA+T require external feedback resistors for 15V output?
No-MAX762ESA+T provides fixed 15V output in bootstrapped mode by internally connecting FB to GND. External resistors are only required for adjustable outputs (5V–16.5V) or non-bootstrapped operation; for 15V, FB must be tied directly to GND.
How does the low-battery detector function in MAX762ESA+T?
The MAX762ESA+T includes an LBI input and open-drain LBO output. When LBI voltage falls below 1.5V (set by resistor divider), LBO pulls low with 20mV hysteresis. During shutdown (SHDN = high), LBO goes high-impedance and LBI is ignored-ensuring clean system-level battery management.
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for MAX762ESA+T?
The absolute maximum input voltage (V+ to GND) for MAX762ESA+T is 17V. The recommended operating range is 2.0V to 16.5V per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table; exceeding 17V risks permanent damage to the internal power FET and control circuitry.
