_______________General Description
The MAX770–MAX773 step-up switching controllers pro-
vide 90% efficiency over a 10mA to 1A load. A
unique current-limited pulse-frequency-modulation (PFM)
control scheme gives these devices the benefits of
pulse-width-modulation (PWM) converters (high efficiency
at heavy loads), while using less than 110µA of supply
current (vs. 2mA to 10mA for PWM converters).
These ICs use tiny external components. Their high
switching frequencies (up to 300kHz) allow surface-
mount magnetics of 5mm height and 9mm diameter.
The MAX770/MAX771/MAX772 accept input voltages
from 2V to 16.5V. Output voltages are preset at 5V,
(MAX770), 12V (MAX771), and 15V (MAX772); they can
also be adjusted using two resistors.
The MAX773 accepts inputs from 3V to 16.5V. For a wider
input range, it features an internal shunt regulator that
allows unlimited higher input voltages. The MAX773’s out-
put can be set to 5V, 12V, or 15V, or it can be adjusted
with two resistors.
The MAX770–MAX773 drive external N-channel MOSFET
switches, allowing them to power loads up to 15W. If less
power is required, use the MAX756/MAX757 or
MAX761/MAX762 step-up switching regulators with on-
board MOSFETs.

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.
