• Description: 1-Cell to 3-Cell, High-Power, Low-Noise, Step-Up DC-DC Converters
• Manufacturer: MAXIM [Maxim Integrated Products]

The MAX848/MAX849 combine a switching regulator,
N-channel power MOSFET, P-channel synchronous
rectifier, precision reference voltage, power-good indi-
cator, and battery voltage monitor, all in a single mono-
lithic device. The MAX848/MAX849 are powered
directly from the output. The output voltage is factory
preset to 3.3V or adjustable from 2.7V to 5V with exter-
nal resistors (Dual Mode™ operation). These devices
start from a low 1V input voltage and remain opera-
tional down to 0.7V. The MAX848/MAX849 operate with
either one to three NiCd/NiMH cells or one Li-Ion cell.
At power-up, an internal low-voltage oscillator drives
the N-channel power switch, and the output voltage
slowly builds up. The oscillator has a 25% nominal duty
cycle to prevent current build-up in the inductor. An
output voltage in excess of the nominal 2.25V lockout
voltage activates the error comparator and internal tim-
ing circuitry. The device resumes operation in either
pulse-frequency-modulation (PFM) low-power mode or
pulse-width-modulation (PWM) low-noise mode, select-
ed by the logic control, CLK/SEL. Figure 2 shows the

standard application circuit for the MAX849 configured
in the high-power PWM mode.
The MAX848/MAX849 are turned on or off by logic
input pins ON1 and ON2 (Table 1). When ON1 = 1 or
ON2 = 0, the part is on. When ON1 = 0 and ON2 = 1,
the part is off. Both inputs have logic trip points near
0.5 x V
The MAX848/MAX849 operate in either PFM, PWM, or
PWM synchronized to an externally applied clock sig-
nal. Table 2 lists each operating mode.
