Product details
Overview
The MAX8569AETT+T from Maxim Integrated is a 6-pin TDFN-packaged, adjustable-output synchronous boost regulator delivering up to 200mA at output voltages from 2.0V to 5.5V from a 1.5V–5.5V input. It features 7µA typical quiescent current, 95% peak efficiency, and internal n/p-channel MOSFETs eliminating external diodes. It is used in battery-powered portable devices requiring low-power, compact DC-DC conversion with backup power capability.
For engineers reviewing the MAX8569AETT+T datasheet, MAX8569AETT+T pinout, MAX8569AETT+T application, or MAX8569AETT+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its adjustable feedback threshold (1.228V), shutdown current (<1µA), BATT-to-OUT pass-through during shutdown, 750mA switch current limit, and TDFN 3mm × 3mm thermal performance.
Technical Context
The MAX8569AETT+T employs a current-limited, oscillator-free control scheme: n-channel switch on-time terminates either at 750mA peak inductor current or after 5µs maximum on-time. Regulation is achieved by sensing feedback voltage at FB and comparing it to a precision 1.228V reference.
During shutdown, an internal p-channel MOSFET connects BATT directly to OUT via LX, enabling zero-drop backup supply for RTC or SRAM without external diodes. The device uses BiCMOS process technology and integrates both power switches and synchronous rectifier control logic in a single die.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.5V to 5.5V - supports two alkaline/NiMH cells or single Li+ cell without external level-shifting |
| Output Current Capability | 200mA max at VOUT = 3.3V, VBATT = 2.0V - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and RF modules |
| Quiescent Current | 7µA typical - enables >1-year battery life in always-on low-duty-cycle applications |
| Shutdown Supply Current | <1µA - preserves battery charge during extended standby or sleep modes |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 1.228V ±25mV - sets output via resistor divider; enables precise 2.0V–5.5V adjustment |
| Switch Current Limit | 750mA peak - defines maximum inductor current and limits fault energy during short-circuit events |
| Efficiency | Up to 95% at 40mA load, VBATT = 2.0V, VOUT = 3.3V - reduces thermal load and extends runtime in space-constrained designs |
Pinout & Package
MAX8569AETT+T is housed in a thermally enhanced 6-pin TDFN package (3mm × 3mm × 0.8mm) with exposed paddle (EP) for PCB ground connection. The EP improves thermal dissipation and must be soldered to a solid ground plane per layout guidelines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - SHDN | Logic-controlled shutdown input | Active-low enable; 1.228V threshold allows use as low-battery detector; pulls IC into sub-1µA state |
| 2 - BATT | Main battery input | Connects to 1.5V–5.5V source; internally routed to OUT during shutdown for backup power path |
| 3 - GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Common return for all internal circuits; must be tied to low-impedance PCB ground plane |
| 4 - LX | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high-frequency switching current; tied to OUT during shutdown |
| 5 - OUT | Regulated output | Delivers up to 200mA; serves as bootstrap supply for internal gate drivers; bypassed with ≥10µF ceramic cap |
| 6 - FB | Feedback input | Senses resistor-divider output; regulates VOUT by holding VFB = 1.228V; high-impedance (4nA bias) |
| EP - Exposed Paddle | Thermal and electrical ground | Not electrically functional but critical for thermal management; must be soldered to PCB ground plane |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS610992DRCR | Fixed 3.3V output; 1.2µA IQ; 300mA output; 1.8V min input | Lacks adjustable output and BATT-to-OUT pass-through; better for ultra-low-IQ fixed-rail apps | Select when lowest possible quiescent current is prioritized over backup power or voltage flexibility |
| SP6652ES-L/TR | Adjustable output; 25µA IQ; 300mA output; SOT23-6 only; no shutdown pass-through | Higher IQ, no backup path, larger package; lacks RST or low-battery detection integration | Select when higher output current is needed and TDFN thermal performance is not required |
Compared with MAX8569AETT+T, the TPS610992DRCR offers lower quiescent current but sacrifices adjustable output and battery-backup functionality; the SP6652ES-L/TR provides higher output current but increases board area and eliminates critical shutdown pass-through capability.

FAQ
What is the feedback reference voltage of the MAX8569AETT+T, and how does it affect output setting?
The MAX8569AETT+T has a precision 1.228V feedback reference voltage (VFB) with ±25mV tolerance over temperature. This value determines the output voltage via the external resistor divider: VOUT = VFB × (1 + R3/R4). Using this relationship, designers can set outputs from 2.0V to 5.5V while maintaining regulation accuracy. The MAX8569AETT+T's low 4nA FB bias current minimizes divider error, supporting high-resistor values to reduce quiescent drain.
Does the MAX8569AETT+T support battery backup during shutdown, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the MAX8569AETT+T supports battery backup during shutdown via an internal p-channel MOSFET that connects BATT directly to OUT through the inductor and LX pin. When SHDN is pulled low, the converter disables switching but maintains a low-resistance path (<0.9Ω p-channel RDS(ON)) between battery and output. This enables the input battery to power real-time clocks, SRAM, or microcontrollers without diode voltage drop-making the MAX8569AETT+T ideal for always-on backup functions.
What is the maximum achievable output current for the MAX8569AETT+T under typical conditions?
The MAX8569AETT+T delivers up to 200mA continuous output current when VBATT = 2.0V and VOUT = 3.3V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. Output current capability scales with input voltage: at VBATT = 2.5V, it supports ~250mA; at VBATT = 3.0V, ~300mA. Performance depends on inductor selection, PCB layout, and thermal management-the TDFN package's exposed paddle helps sustain full output in ambient temperatures up to +85°C.
How does the MAX8569AETT+T achieve high efficiency without an external Schottky diode?
The MAX8569AETT+T achieves >90% efficiency by integrating a synchronous rectifier-comprising complementary n-channel and p-channel MOSFETs-that replaces the lossy external Schottky diode. During the off-phase, the low-RDS(ON) p-channel device (0.3Ω typ) conducts instead of the body diode, eliminating forward-voltage drop (~0.3V) and associated conduction losses. This architecture reduces heat generation, shrinks solution size, and improves light-load efficiency-key advantages reflected in the MAX8569AETT+T's 95% peak efficiency spec.
What are the thermal limitations and PCB layout requirements for reliable operation of the MAX8569AETT+T?
The MAX8569AETT+T uses a 6-pin TDFN package with exposed paddle (EP), rated for 1454mW continuous power dissipation at +70°C (derating 18.2mW/°C above). Reliable thermal performance requires soldering the EP directly to a minimum 100mm² copper ground plane. Layout best practices include placing input/output capacitors within 5mm of GND pin, routing FB and LX traces as short as possible, and avoiding splits under the EP. These measures prevent ground bounce, minimize ripple, and ensure the MAX8569AETT+T sustains 200mA output without thermal shutdown.
