General Description
The MAX1708 sets a new standard of space savings for
high-power, step-up DC-DC conversion. It delivers up
to 10W at a fixed (3.3V or 5V) or adjustable (2.5V to
5.5V) output, using an on-chip power MOSFET from a
0.7V to 5V supply.
Fixed-frequency PWM operation ensures that the
switching noise spectrum is constrained to the 600kHz
fundamental and its harmonics, allowing easy postfilter-
ing for noise reduction. External clock synchronization
capability allows for even tighter noise spectrum con-
trol. Quiescent power consumption is less than 1mW to
extend operating time in battery-powered systems.
Two control inputs (ONA, ONB) allow simple push-on,
push-off control through a single momentary push-but-
ton switch, as well as conventional on/off logic control.
The MAX1708 also features programmable soft-start
and current limit for design flexibility and optimum per-
formance with batteries. The maximum RMS switch cur-
rent rating is 5A. For a device with a higher (10A)
switch current rating, refer to the MAX1709 data sheet.
