_______________General Description

The MAX679 step-up, regulated charge pump gener-
ates a 3.3V ±4% output voltage from a 1.8V to 3.6V
input voltage (two alkaline, NiCd, or NiMH; or one
Lithium-Ion battery). Output current is 20mA (min) from
a 2.0V input. Only three external capacitors are needed
to build a complete DC-DC converter.

The MAX679’s switching frequency is pin selectable at
330kHz or 1MHz to allow trade-offs between lowest
supply current and smallest-size capacitors. The logic
shutdown function reduces the supply current to 5µA
(max) and disconnects the load from the input. Special
soft-start circuitry prevents excessive current from
being drawn from the battery during start-up. This DC-
DC converter requires no inductors and has low EMI. It
is available in the ultra-small µMAX package, which is
only 1.11mm high and half the area of an 8-pin SO.
