________________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.
