Step-Up DC-DC Converters
_______________General Description
The MAX756/MAX757 are CMOS step-up DC-DC switching regulators for small, low input voltage or battery-powered systems. The MAX756 accepts a positive input
voltage down to 0.7V and converts it to a higher pinselectable output voltage of 3.3V or 5V. The MAX757 is
an adjustable version that accepts an input voltage down
to 0.7V and generates a higher adjustable output voltage
in the range from 2.7V to 5.5V. Typical full-load efficiencies
for the MAX756/MAX757 are greater than 87%.
The MAX756/MAX757 provide three improvements over
previous devices. Physical size is reduced—the high
switching frequencies (up to 0.5MHz) made possible by
MOSFET power transistors allow for tiny ( …
