Product details
Overview
MAX8627ETD+T from Maxim Integrated is a low-input-voltage, synchronous boost DC-DC converter with True Shutdown™, delivering up to 1A output current at 3V–5V from 1.5V–4.2V battery sources. It features 1MHz fixed-frequency PWM operation, 20µA typical quiescent current, internal soft-start limiting inrush to 500mA, and integrated synchronous rectification for up to 95% efficiency. It powers microprocessor/DSP core rails in smartphones and DSCs.
For engineers reviewing the MAX8627ETD+T datasheet, MAX8627ETD+T pinout, MAX8627ETD+T application, or MAX8627ETD+T equivalent, key selection criteria include low-VBATT startup (1.2V min), adjustable current limit via ILIM, voltage positioning for load-transient stability, and TDFN-EP package thermal performance in space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The MAX8627ETD+T employs current-mode PWM control with internal 1.015V feedback reference and slope compensation. It operates in fixed-frequency PWM mode above ~50mA load and transitions to discontinuous conduction idle mode below that threshold to maintain 20µA IQ.
True Shutdown disconnects input from output by disabling both n-channel switch and p-channel synchronous rectifier, reducing shutdown current to 0.1µA while pulling OUTS to GND. Internal damping switch suppresses LX ringing during light-load discontinuous operation without affecting output ripple.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 1.5V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li+/Li-polymer (2.5V–4.2V) and 2-cell NiMH/NiCd (2.4V–3.0V) batteries. |
| Output Voltage Range | 3.0V to 5.2V - adjustable via external FB resistor divider; regulated to 1.015V ±10mV at FB pin. |
| Switching Frequency | 1.0MHz ±5% - enables use of small 1µH–4.7µH inductors and compact ceramic output capacitors. |
| Max Output Current | 1.0A at 5V - guaranteed with 3.5A peak inductor current limit (ILIM = GND); scalable down via ILIM resistor divider. |
| Quiescent Current | 20µA (typ) - measured at no load, switching; enables >1-week battery life in standby for handheld devices. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1µA - logic-controlled True Shutdown eliminates input-to-output leakage, critical for battery preservation. |
| Soft-Start Time | 5.25ms (typ) - limits startup inrush to ≤500mA; duration varies with output capacitance and load resistance. |
Pinout & Package
MAX8627ETD+T is housed in a 14-pin, 3mm × 3mm TDFN-EP package with exposed pad (EP) for thermal dissipation. The package is RoHS-compliant and lead-free ("+" suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Analog Ground Reference | Primary analog ground node; must be connected to PG and AGND with low-impedance path to minimize noise coupling. |
| FB (Pin 2) | Voltage Feedback Input | Senses output via resistor divider; regulates VOUT to 1.015V - sets output as VOUT = 1.015V × (1 + R1/R2). |
| ON (Pin 3) | Enable Control Input | Active-high logic input; tie to BATT for always-on, or drive low for True Shutdown (0.1µA IQ). |
| BATT (Pins 4,5) | Main Power Input | Accepts 1.5V–5.5V source; requires two 22µF ceramic caps to PG for low-impedance decoupling. |
| POUT (Pins 6,7) | Power Output Node | Delivers regulated output; connects to two 22µF ceramic caps to PG - forms main output filter and loop stability network. |
| LX (Pins 8,9) | Inductor Switch Node | High-current switching node; connects to inductor; high-impedance in shutdown; requires short, wide PCB trace. |
| PG (Pins 10,11) | Power Ground | High-current return path for BATT, POUT, and LX; must be tied to GND and AGND with minimal inductance. |
| AGND (Pin 12) | Analog Ground | Reference for FB, ON, ILIM; connect directly to GND and PG to avoid ground bounce in feedback path. |
| ILIM (Pin 13) | Current Limit Control | Sets peak inductor current: 0V → 3.5A; resistor divider from POUT → GND scales limit downward for smaller magnetics. |
| OUTS (Pin 14) | IC Power Supply | Bootstrapped supply input - powered from POUT; IC operates once VPOUT ≥ 2.7V. |
| EP (Exposed Pad) | Thermal & Electrical Ground | Must be soldered to solid GND plane; improves thermal resistance and reduces EMI; does not replace GND pin connection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True Shutdown™ | Breaks input-output path completely - output falls to GND and draws only 0.1µA, eliminating battery drain without external switches. |
| Voltage Positioning | Intentional 3% load regulation (e.g., 5.05V @ 0mA → 4.90V @ 1A) minimizes transient droop/overshoot without increasing output capacitance. |
| Internal Damping Switch | Actively suppresses LX ringing during discontinuous conduction mode, reducing EMI without degrading output ripple or efficiency. |
| Adjustable Current Limit | ILIM pin allows scaling peak inductor current from 3.5A down to ~0.3A using external resistors - optimizes magnetics size and cost per application. |
| Internal Compensation | Eliminates need for external compensation components - reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity while maintaining stability across capacitor types. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61099YFFR | Lower IQ (300nA shutdown, 400nA in operation), but fixed 3.3V/5V outputs; no adjustable ILIM or voltage positioning. | Best for ultra-low-power always-on sensors; unsuitable where adjustable output or load-transient optimization is required. | Select MAX8627ETD+T when design demands programmable VOUT, precise current limiting, or voltage positioning for CPU/core rails. |
| RT9013-33GB | Fixed 3.3V output, 200mA max, no True Shutdown - output remains high in shutdown; lacks damping switch and soft-start. | Only fits low-current, fixed-voltage auxiliary rails; cannot replace MAX8627ETD+T in 1A motor or processor applications. | Choose MAX8627ETD+T for 1A loads, battery-sensitive shutdown behavior, or EMI-critical layouts requiring LX damping. |
Compared with TPS61099YFFR and RT9013-33GB, the MAX8627ETD+T uniquely combines 1A capability, True Shutdown, voltage positioning, and adjustable current limit - making it the only option among the three suitable for high-dynamic-load portable processor core supplies.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for MAX8627ETD+T to start up?
The MAX8627ETD+T has a minimum startup voltage of 1.2V (typ) with no load. This allows reliable operation from deeply discharged single-cell Li+ batteries or low-voltage alkaline cells. Startup current is internally limited to 500mA during soft-start, and the device enters latched-off state if regulation is not achieved after 13 incremental current-limit steps.
How does True Shutdown work in MAX8627ETD+T, and what is its benefit?
True Shutdown in the MAX8627ETD+T disables both the n-channel main switch and the p-channel synchronous rectifier, breaking the conductive path between BATT and POUT. This reduces shutdown current to 0.1µA and forces POUT to discharge to GND - preventing battery drain through load leakage paths. Unlike conventional boost ICs, no external MOSFET is needed for true isolation.
Can MAX8627ETD+T generate a 3.3V output, and how is it configured?
Yes, MAX8627ETD+T supports 3.3V output via the FB pin. Connect a resistor divider between POUT and GND with R2 < 500kΩ, then calculate R1 = R2 × (3.3V / 1.015V − 1). For example, R2 = 499kΩ yields R1 ≈ 1.15MΩ. The IC regulates FB to 1.015V (typ), ensuring accurate output despite input or load variation.
What is the purpose of the ILIM pin on MAX8627ETD+T, and how is it used?
The ILIM pin on MAX8627ETD+T sets the peak inductor current limit. Grounding ILIM configures 3.5A maximum; applying a voltage between 0.25V and 0.45V scales the limit downward (e.g., 0.45V → ~1.0A). This allows optimization of inductor size and saturation margin for specific load requirements without changing the IC or layout.
Does MAX8627ETD+T require external compensation components?
No, MAX8627ETD+T includes internal compensation circuitry. This eliminates the need for external Type-II or Type-III compensation networks, simplifying design, reducing BOM cost, and improving layout robustness - especially when using ceramic or tantalum output capacitors with varying ESR characteristics.
