The MAX856/MAX858 ♦ 85% Efficiency at 100mA accept a positive input voltage between 0.8V and VOUT ♦ 25µA Quiescent Current and convert it to a higher, pin-selectable output voltage of 3.3V or 5V. The MAX857/MAX859 adjustable versions ♦ 1µA Shutdown Mode accept 0.8V to 6.0V input voltages and generate higher ♦ 125mA and 500mA Switch-Current Limits Permit adjustable output voltages in the 2.7V to 6.0V range. Use of Low-Cost Inductors Typical efficiencies are greater than 85%. Typical quies- ♦ Up to 500kHz Switching Frequency cent supply current is 25µA (1µA in shutdown). ♦ ±1.5% Reference Tolerance Over Temperature The MAX856–MAX859 combine ultra-low quiescent supply ♦ Low-Battery Detector (LBI/LBO) current and high efficiency to give maximum battery life. An ♦ 8-Pin SO and µMAX Packages internal MOSFET power transistor permits high switching frequencies. This benefit, combined with internally set peak inductor current limits, permits the use of small, low-cost ______________Ordering Information inductors. The MAX856/MAX857 have a 500mA peak inductor current limit. The MAX858/MAX859 have a 125mA PARTTEMP. RANGEPIN-PACKAGE peak inductor current limit.
