Product details
Overview
MAX8569AEUT+T from Maxim Integrated is a 200mA adjustable-output synchronous boost regulator supporting 1.5V–5.5V input and up to 5.5V output, featuring 7µA quiescent current, 95% peak efficiency, and internal synchronous rectification. It operates in SOT23-6 package and enables battery-backed real-time clock or SRAM retention by connecting BATT directly to OUT during shutdown - ideal for space-constrained portable medical diagnostics and PDAs.
For engineers reviewing the MAX8569AEUT+T datasheet, MAX8569AEUT+T pinout, MAX8569AEUT+T application, or MAX8569AEUT+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its adjustable feedback threshold (1.228V), 750mA switch current limit, shutdown supply current <1µA, and compatibility with single-cell Li+, dual-alkaline, or dual-NiMH power sources.
Technical Context
The MAX8569AEUT+T uses a current-limited, oscillator-free control scheme: n-channel switch on-time terminates at either 750mA peak inductor current or 5µs maximum, followed by synchronous rectifier conduction until inductor current decays to zero. Regulation is maintained via error comparator monitoring of FB voltage against 1.228V reference.
During shutdown, an internal p-channel MOSFET connects BATT to OUT through the inductor, eliminating body-diode voltage drop and enabling direct battery backup for low-power peripherals. The SHDN pin doubles as low-battery cutoff with 1.228V threshold and 100mV hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.5V to 5.5V - supports single Li+ (2.7–4.2V), dual alkaline (2.0–3.2V), or dual NiMH (2.0–2.8V) without external LDO pre-regulation. |
| Output Current Capability | 200mA at VOUT = 3.3V, VBATT = 2.0V - sufficient to power microcontrollers, sensors, or RF modules in portable systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 7µA typical - minimizes battery drain in always-on monitoring circuits like medical wearables or smart sensors. |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - enables multi-year operation from coin cells when paired with backup-critical loads (e.g., RTC, SRAM). |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 1.228V ±0.025V - sets precise output voltage via external resistor divider; enables 2.0V–5.5V adjustment range. |
| Switch Current Limit | 750mA typical - defines maximum inductor peak current, constraining inductor size and thermal design for given output power. |
| Peak Efficiency | 95% at 40mA load, VBATT = 2.0V, VOUT = 3.3V - reduces heat generation and extends battery life in compact enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
MAX8569AEUT+T is housed in a lead-free 6-pin SOT23-6 package (U6FH-6), 2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm, with GND-connected exposed pad omitted (SOT23 variant). Pin 1 is SHDN; pin 3 is GND; pin 6 is FB. No EP pad; thermal performance relies on PCB copper area under pins 2 (BATT), 3 (GND), and 5 (OUT).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - SHDN | Active-low enable / low-battery detector input | Drives IC into sub-1µA shutdown; threshold = 1.228V with 100mV hysteresis - configurable as battery cutoff using external resistor divider. |
| 2 - BATT | Main power input | Accepts 1.5V–5.5V source; internally connected to OUT during shutdown to provide unregulated backup power without diode drop. |
| 3 - GND | Analog/digital ground reference | Single ground node for all internal circuitry; must be tied to low-impedance PCB ground plane within 5mm of CIN/COUT grounds. |
| 4 - LX | Switch node connection | Drives external inductor; connects to OUT during shutdown via internal p-MOSFET - requires short, low-inductance trace to minimize ringing. |
| 5 - OUT | Regulated output voltage | Delivers up to 200mA; supplies internal bootstrapped gate drive; bypassed with ≥10µF ceramic capacitor to stabilize regulation and reduce ripple. |
| 6 - FB | Feedback input | Senses output via resistor divider; regulates to 1.228V - determines output voltage as VOUT = 1.228V × (1 + R3/R4); high-impedance (4nA bias) minimizes divider current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal synchronous rectifier | Eliminates external Schottky diode - reduces BOM count, PCB area, and forward-voltage loss, enabling >90% efficiency at light loads. |
| BATT-to-OUT connection in shutdown | Enables seamless battery backup for RTC/SRAM without external diodes or switches - preserves data during main converter disable. |
| Ultra-low 7µA quiescent current | Extends shelf life and operational runtime in intermittent-sensing applications (e.g., wireless sensor nodes, glucose monitors). |
| Adjustable output (2.0V–5.5V) | Supports diverse system rails (e.g., 2.5V analog, 3.3V logic, 5V USB-peripheral) using one footprint - no redesign needed for voltage changes. |
| 750mA switch current limit | Allows use of small 4.7µH–10µH inductors while delivering full 200mA output - simplifies magnetics selection and reduces solution height. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS610992DRCR | Fixed 3.3V output; 1.8V min input; 400mA output; 0.6µA shutdown current; 1.2MHz fixed-frequency PWM. | Lacks adjustable output and BATT-to-OUT backup path; better suited for ultra-low-IQ always-on apps where voltage is fixed. | Select if 3.3V-only output and lowest possible shutdown current are critical; avoid if backup power or voltage flexibility is required. |
| LT1945ES5#TRMPBF | Adjustable output (1.25V–15V); 1.5V min input; 250mA output; 25µA quiescent current; requires external Schottky diode. | Higher IQ and external diode increase solution size/cost; no integrated backup path; wider VOUT range. | Select if higher output voltage (>5.5V) or higher current (>200mA) is needed; accept larger footprint and lower efficiency vs. MAX8569AEUT+T. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for MAX8569AEUT+T to start switching?
The MAX8569AEUT+T starts switching at a minimum startup voltage of 1.24V (over temperature) when loaded with 2.6kΩ. At room temperature, startup occurs at 1.22V. This enables reliable operation from nearly depleted alkaline or NiMH cells, extending usable battery life beyond conventional boost converters with higher startup thresholds.
Can MAX8569AEUT+T generate a 5.0V output from a 3.3V input?
Yes, MAX8569AEUT+T can generate 5.0V from a 3.3V input. With its 1.5V–5.5V input range and adjustable output up to 5.5V, the device supports step-up ratios up to ~1.67×. For 5.0V output, configure the FB divider so VFB = 1.228V; typical efficiency exceeds 90% at moderate loads.
Does MAX8569AEUT+T include a power-on reset (RST) output?
No, MAX8569AEUT+T does not include an RST output. That feature is exclusive to the MAX8569B variants (e.g., MAX8569BEUT-T*). The MAX8569AEUT+T is the adjustable-output version and uses pin 6 solely as FB; RST is only present on MAX8569B packages where pin 6 is repurposed for reset signaling.
What is the recommended inductor value for MAX8569AEUT+T in a 3.3V-out, 200mA application?
A 10µH shielded power inductor with ≥750mA saturation current and ≤0.3Ω DCR is recommended for MAX8569AEUT+T at 3.3V/200mA. Values from 4.7µH to 22µH are acceptable; lower inductance improves transient response and reduces size, while higher values improve light-load efficiency but may limit peak current capability.
How does MAX8569AEUT+T achieve sub-1µA shutdown current?
MAX8569AEUT+T achieves <1µA shutdown current by fully disconnecting internal bias networks and disabling all switching elements. During shutdown, only leakage paths remain - including <0.01µA BATT supply current and <0.5µA OUT supply current - verified across -40°C to +85°C per datasheet Section "ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS".
