_______________General Description
The MAX863 dual-output DC-DC converter contains
two independent step-up controllers in a single com-
pact package. This monolithic Bi-CMOS design draws
only 85µA when both controllers are on. The input
range extends down to 1.5V, permitting use in organiz-
ers, translators, and other low-power hand-held prod-
ucts. The MAX863 provides 90% efficiency at output
loads from 20mA to over 1A. This space-saving device
is supplied in a 16-pin QSOP package that fits in the
same area as an 8-pin SOIC.
The device uses a current-limited, pulse-frequency-
modulated (PFM) control architecture that reduces start-
up surge currents and maintains low quiescent currents
for excellent low-current efficiency. Each controller
drives a low-cost, external, N-channel MOSFET switch,
whose size can be optimized for any output current or
voltage.
In larger systems, two MAX863s can be used to gener-
ate 5V, 3.3V, 12V, and 28V from just two or three bat-
tery cells. An evaluation kit (MAX863EVKIT) is available
to speed designs. For a single-output controller, refer to
the MAX608 and MAX1771 data sheets.

Note 1: When bootstrapped, an internal low-voltage oscillator drives the EXT1 pin rail-to-rail for low supply voltages.
Note 2: For non-bootstrapped operation, V
DD
> 2.7V is required to allow valid operation of all internal circuitry.
Note 3: For adjustable output voltages, see the Set the Output Voltage section.
Note 4: Measured with LBI falling. Typical hysteresis is 15mV.
Note 5: EXT1 and EXT2 swing from V

to GND.
Note 6: Specifications to -40°C are guaranteed by design and not production tested.
