________________General Description
The MAX769 is a complete buck/boost power supply
and monitoring system for two-way pagers or other low-
power digital communications devices. Few external
components are required. Included on-chip are:
An 80mA output, synchronous-rectified, buck/boost
DC-DC converter with a digitally controlled +1.8V to
+4.9V output. The DC-DC converter is unique, since
it provides a regulated output for battery inputs that
are both less than and greater than the output volt-
age, without using transformers.
Three low-noise linear-regulator outputs
Three DAC-controlled comparators for software-
driven, 3-channel A/D conversion
SPI™-compatible serial interface
Reset and low-battery (LBO) warning outputs
Charger for NiCd/NiMH, lithium battery, or storage
capacitor for RF PA power or system backup
Two 1.8 (typical), serial-controlled, open-drain
MOSFET switches for beeper or vibrator drive
An evaluation kit for the MAX769 (MAX769EVKIT) is
available to aid in design and prototyping.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
