MAX1559
General Description
The MAX1559 is a complete power-management chip
for low-cost personal digital assistants (PDAs) and
portable devices operating from a 1-cell lithium-ion
(Li+) or 3-cell NiMH battery. It includes all the regulators, outputs, and voltage monitors necessary for small
PDAs while requiring a bare minimum of external components. Featured are four linear regulators, a DC-DC
boost converter for LCD bias, a microprocessor reset
output, and low-battery shutdown in a miniature QFN
package. For a compatible Li+ charger for both USB
and AC adapter inputs, refer to the MAX1551*.
The four linear regulators feature PMOS pass elements
for efficient low-dropout operation. A MAIN LDO supplies 3.3V at 500mA. A signal-detect (SD) card-slot output supplies 3.3V at 400mA. The COR1 LDO outputs 1V
at 250mA, and the COR2 LDO supplies 1.8V at 30mA.
The SD output and COR2 LDO have pin-controlled
shutdown. For other output-voltage combinations, contact Maxim.
The DC-DC boost converter features an on-board MOSFET
and True Shutdown™ when off. This means that during
shutdown, input power is disconnected from the inductor so that the boost output falls to 0V rather than
remaining one diode drop below the input voltage.
A µP reset output clears when the MAIN LDO achieves
regulation to ensure an orderly start. Thermal shutdown
protects the die from overheating.

Detailed Description
Linear Regulators
The MAX1559 contains all power blocks and voltage
monitors for a small PDA. Power for logic and other
subsystems are provided by four LDOs:
• MAIN—Provides 3.3V at a guaranteed 500mA with a
typical current limit of 900mA.
• SDIG—Provides 3.3V at a guaranteed 400mA for
secure digital cards with a typical current limit
of 630mA.
8
• COR1—1V for CPU core guarantees 250mA and a
typical current limit of 450mA.
• COR2—1.8V for CODEC core guarantees 30mA and
a typical current limit of 50mA.
Note that it may not be possible to draw the rated current of MAIN and SDIG at all operating input voltages
due to the dropout limitations of those regulators. The
typical dropout resistance of the MAIN regulator is 0.7Ω
(350mV drop at 500mA), and the typical dropout resistance of the SDIG regulator is 0.85Ω (340mV drop at
400mA).
_______________________________________________________________________________________
5-Output Power-Management IC For
Low-Cost PDAs
LCD DC-DC Boost
In addition to the LDOs, the MAX1559 also includes a
low-current, high-voltage DC-DC boost converter for
LCD bias. This circuit can output at up to 28V and can
be adjusted with either an analog or PWM control signal using external components.
SW provides an input-power disconnect for the LCD
when ENLCD is low (off). The input-power disconnect
function is ideal for applications that require the output
voltage to fall to 0V in shutdown (True Shutdown). If True
Shutdown is not required, the SW switch can be
bypassed by connecting the boost inductor directly to IN
and removing the bypass cap on SW (C9 in Figure 1).
System Sleep
All regulated outputs turn off when VIN falls below 3V.
The MAX1559 resumes normal operation when V IN
rises above 3.6V.
Reset Output
ESR and are commonly available in values up to 10µF.
X7R and X5R dielectrics are recommended. Note that
some ceramic dielectrics, such as Z5U and Y5V, exhibit large capacitance and ESR variation with temperature
and require larger than the recommended values to
maintain stability over temperature.
LCD Boost Output
Selecting an Inductor
The LCD boost is designed to operate with a wide range
of inductor values (4.7µH to 22µH). Smaller inductance
values typically offer smaller size for a given series
resistance or saturation current. Smaller values make LX
switch more frequently for a given load and can reduce
efficiency at low load currents. Larger values reduce
switching losses due to less frequent switching for a
given load, but higher resistance can then reduce efficiency. A 10µH inductor provides a good balance and
works well for most applications. The inductor’s saturation current rating should be greater than the peak
switching current (250mA); however, it is generally
acceptable to bias some inductors into saturation by as
much as 20%, although this slightly reduces efficiency.
Selecting a Diode
Schottky diodes rated at 250mA or more, such as the
Motorola MBRS0530 or Nihon EP05Q03L are recommended. The diode reverse-breakdown voltage rating
must be greater than the LCD output voltage.
Reset (RS) asserts when VMAIN falls below 3.094V. RS
is an open-drain, active-low output. Connect a 1MΩ
resistor from RS to MAIN. To implement a reset
deassertion delay, add a capacitor from RS to GND. An
approximate 10ms delay can be generated with 1MΩ
and 22nF. This results in a 22ms time constant, but
assumes the input threshold of the CPU reset input is
approximately 1V and is reached approximately 10ms
after RS goes high impedance. Timing for RS, 3.3V
MAIN, and 1V COR1 is shown in Figure 3.
Selecting Capacitors
For most applications, use a small 1µF LCD output
capacitor. This typically provides a peak-to-peak output
ripple of 30mV. In addition, bypass IN with 1µF and SW
with 4.7µF ceramic capacitors.
An LCD feed-forward capacitor, connected from the
output to FB, improves stability over a wide range of
battery voltages. A 10pF capacitor is sufficient for most
applications; however, this value is also affected by PC
board layout.
Applications Information
Setting the LCD Voltage
Adjust the output voltage by connecting a voltagedivider from the output (VOUT) to FB (Figure 1). Select
R2 between 10kΩ and 200kΩ. Calculate R1 with the following equation:
LDO Output Capacitors (MAIN, SDIG,
COR1, and COR2)
Capacitors are required at each output of the MAX1559
for stable operation over the full load and temperature
range. See Figure 1 for recommended capacitor values
for each output. To reduce noise and improve load
transients, large output capacitors at up to 10µF can be
used. Surface-mount ceramic capacitors have very low
R1 = R2 [(VOUT / VFB) - 1]
where VFB = 1.25V and VOUT can range from VIN to
28V. The input bias current of FB is typically only 5nA,
which allows large-value resistors to be used. For less

MAIN and COR1 regulators are always on as long as
the IC is not in low-voltage shutdown (VIN < 3V). COR2
and SDIG can be turned on and off independently by
logic signals at ENC2 and ENSD, respectively, but cannot be activated if VIN < 3V.
When SDIG is turned off, reverse current is blocked so
the SDIG output can be biased with an external source
when no power is present at IN. Leakage current is typically 3µA with 3.3V at SDIG.

Using a PWM Signal
Many microprocessors have the ability to create PWM
outputs. These are digital outputs, based on either 16-bit
or 8-bit counters, with a programmable duty cycle. In
many applications, they are suitable for adjusting the
output of the MAX1559 as seen in Figure 1.

Figure 2. Functional Diagram
The circuit consists of the PWM source, capacitor C10,
and resistors RD and RW. To analyze the transfer function of the PWM circuit, it is easiest to first simplify it to
its Thevenin equivalent. The Thevenin voltage can be
calculated using the following formula:
VTHEV = (D ✕ VOH) + (1 - D) ✕ VOL
where D is the duty cycle of the PWM signal, VOH is the
PWM output high level (often 3.3V), and V OL is the
PWM output low level (usually 0V). For CMOS logic, this
equation simplifies to:
VTHEV = D ✕ VDD

where VDD is the I/O voltage of the PWM output. The
Thevenin impedance is the sum of resistors RW and RD:
RTHEV = RD+ RW
The output voltage (VOUT) as a function of the PWM
average voltage (VTHEV) is:

VOUT = VREF × 1+ 1  + REF

MAIN
When using the PWM adjustment method, RD isolates
the capacitor from the feedback loop of the MAX1559.
The cutoff frequency of the lowpass filter is defined as:
1V
COR1
1
fC =
2 × π × RTHEV
The cutoff frequency should be at least 2 decades
below the PWM frequency to minimize the induced AC
ripple at the output.
An important consideration is the turn-on transient created by the initial charge on the filter capacitor C10.
This capacitor forms a time constant with RTHEV, which
causes the output to initialize at a higher than intended
voltage. This overshoot can be minimized by scaling
R D as high as possible compared to R1 and R2.
Alternately, the µP can briefly keep the LCD disabled
until the PWM voltage has had time to stabilize.
PC Board Layout and Grounding
Careful PC board layout is important for minimizing
ground bounce and noise. Keep the MAX1559’s
ground pin and the ground leads of the input and output capacitors less than 0.2in (5mm) apart. In addition,
keep all connections to FB and LX as short as possible.
In particular, external feedback resistors should be as
close to FB as possible. To minimize output voltage ripple and to maximize output power and efficiency, use a
ground plane and solder GND directly to the ground
plane. Refer to the MAX1559 evaluation kit for a layout
example.

Thermal Considerations
In most applications, the circuit is located on a multilayer board and full use of the four or more layers is recommended. For heat dissipation, connect the exposed
backside pad of the QFN package to a large analog
ground plane, preferably on a surface of the board that
receives good airflow. Typical applications use multiple
ground planes to minimize thermal resistance. Avoid
large AC currents through the analog ground plane.
