________________General Description

The MAX1672 integrates a step-up DC-DC converter with a
linear regulator to provide step-up/down voltage conver-
sion. This device provides a constant output voltage for
inputs that vary above and below the output voltage. It has
a 1.8V to 11V input range and a preset 3.3V or 5V output.
The output can also be set from 1.25V to 5.5V using two
resistors. Typical efficiency is 85%.

The MAX1672’s step-up/linear-regulator configuration per-
mits the use of a single, physically smaller inductor than
can be used with competing SEPIC and flyback configura-
tions. Switch current is also selectable, permitting the use
of smaller inductors in low-current applications. The linear
regulator also acts as a filter to reduce output ripple voltage.

The MAX1672 has a low 85µA quiescent supply current, which
is further reduced to 0.1µA in logic-controlled shutdown. The
output voltage is disconnected from the input in shutdown.
The MAX1672 also has a PGI/PGO low-battery detector.

The MAX1672 comes in a 16-pin QSOP package (same size
as a standard 8-pin SO). For a larger device that delivers more
output current, refer to the MAX710/MAX711. The preassem-
bled MAX1672 evaluation kit is available to speed designs.
