MAX1759
General Description
The MAX1759 is a buck/boost regulating charge pump
that generates a regulated output voltage from a single
lithium-ion (Li+) cell, or two or three NiMH or alkaline
cells for small hand-held portable equipment. The
MAX1759 operates over a wide +1.6V to +5.5V input
voltage range and generates a fixed 3.3V or adjustable
(2.5V to 5.5V) output (Dual Mode™). Maxim’s unique
charge-pump architecture allows the input voltage to be
higher or lower than the regulated output voltage.
Despite its high 1.5MHz operating frequency, the
MAX1759 maintains low 50µA quiescent supply current.
Designed to be an extremely compact buck/boost converter, this device requires only three small ceramic
capacitors to build a complete DC-DC converter capable of generating a guaranteed 100mA (min) output
current from a +2.5V input. For added flexibility, the
MAX1759 also includes an open-drain power-OK
(POK) output that signals when the output voltage is in
regulation.
The MAX1759 is available in a space-saving 10-pin
µMAX package that is 1.09mm high and half the size of
an 8-pin SO.

MAX1759
Buck/Boost Regulating
Charge Pump in µMAX
Detailed Description
0.33µF
The MAX1759’s unique charge-pump architecture
allows the input voltage to be higher or lower than the
regulated output voltage. Internal circuitry senses VIN
and V OUT and determines whether V IN must be
stepped up or stepped down to produce the regulated
output. When VIN is lower than VOUT, the charge pump
operates as a regulated step-up voltage doubler. When
VIN is higher than VOUT, the charge pump operates as
a step-down gated switch.
In voltage step-down mode (i.e., the input voltage is
greater than the output voltage) with a light load, the
controller connects CXN to PGND, and shuttles charge
to the output by alternately connecting CXP from IN to
OUT (see Figures 1 and 2). Although VIN is greater than
VOUT, this scheme may not allow the MAX1759 to regulate the output under heavy loads. In this case, the
MAX1759 will automatically switch to step-up mode. In
step-up mode, the output is kept in regulation by modulating the charge delivered by the transfer capacitor
(CX) to the load (see Figure 2). When lightly loaded, the
charge pump switches only as necessary to supply the
load, resulting in low quiescent current. Output voltage
ripple does not increase with light loads.
The MAX1759 features thermal shutdown with temperature hysteresis. When the die temperature exceeds
160°C, the device shuts down. When the die cools by
20°C, the MAX1759 turns on again. If high die temperature is caused by output overload and the load is not
removed, the device will turn off and on, resulting in a
pulsed output.
Shutdown Mode
Design Procedure
Driving SHDN low places the MAX1759 in shutdown
mode. This disables the charge-pump switches, oscillator, and control logic, reducing quiescent current to
1µA. The output is high impedance in shutdown and is
disconnected from the input. The POK output is high
impedance in shutdown.
Undervoltage Lockout
The MAX1759 undervoltage lockout feature deactivates
the device when the input voltage falls below 1V.
Power-OK Output
POK is an open-drain output that sinks current when
the regulator feedback voltage falls below 1.1V. The
feedback voltage can be either the internal resistordivider feedback voltage when in fixed output mode
(FB tied to GND) or an external feedback voltage from
an external resistive divider in adjustable output mode.
A 10kΩ to 1MΩ pull-up resistor from POK to OUT may
be used to provide a logic output. Connect POK to GND
or leave unconnected if not used.
Soft-Start and Short-Circuit Protection
The MAX1759 features foldback short-circuit protection. This circuitry provides soft-start by limiting inrush
current during startup and limits the output current to
110mA (typ) if the output is short-circuited to ground.

Setting the Output Voltage
The MAX1759 dual-mode feedback controller selects
between the internally set 3.3V regulated output or an
external resistive divider that allows adjustment of the
output voltage from 2.5V to 5.5V. Connect FB to GND
for a regulated 3.3V output. For an adjustable output,
connect a resistive divider between OUT and GND. To
ensure feedback-loop stability and to minimize error due
to FB pin bias currents, the resistive divider current
should be approximately 15µA. In the following equation, choose R2 in the 50kΩ to 100kΩ range, and calculate R1 from the following formula (Figure 3):
R1 = R2 [(VOUT / VFB) - 1]
and
VOUT = VFB (R1 + R2) / R2
where VOUT is the desired output voltage from 2.5V to
5.5V, and VFB is the internal regulation voltage, nominally 1.235V.
The circuit of Figure 3 generates a regulated 2.5V, using
external standard 1% resistor values. Surface-mount
resistors should be placed close to the MAX1759, less
than 5mm away from FB (see the PC Board Layout
section).

Capacitor Selection
Optimize the charge-pump circuit for physical size, output current, and output ripple by selecting capacitors
CIN, CX, and COUT. See Table 1 for suggested capacitor
values.
Note that capacitors must have low ESR (≤20mΩ) to
maintain low output ripple. Ceramic capacitors are
recommended. In cost-sensitive applications where high
output current is needed, the output capacitor may be a
combination of a 1µF ceramic in parallel with a 10µF tantalum capacitor. The ceramic capacitor’s low ESR will
help keep output ripple within acceptable levels.
0.33µF
CXN
Output Current
The MAX1759 is guaranteed to deliver a regulated 3.3V
at 100mA continuous, from a +2.5V input. Peaks up to
200mA are acceptable as long as the current is
≤100mA (RMS).

Output Voltage Ripple
The MAX1759 proprietary control scheme automatically
chooses between voltage doubling and voltage stepdown to maintain output voltage regulation over various
load currents and VIN to VOUT voltage differentials.
When VIN is lower than VOUT, the charge pump always
operates in voltage-doubler mode. It regulates the output
voltage by modulating the charge delivered by the
transfer capacitor.
When VIN is higher than VOUT, the charge pump operates in voltage step-down mode, but may revert to voltage-doubler mode if necessary to maintain regulation
under load. While operating in step-down mode, the
output voltage ripple is typically much lower than it is in
voltage-doubler mode (see Typical Operating
Characteristics).

Applications Information
PC Board Layout
The MAX1759 is a high-frequency switched-capacitor
voltage regulator. For best circuit performance, use a
ground plane and keep CIN, CX, COUT, and feedback
resistors (if used) close to the device. If using external
feedback, keep the feedback node as small as possible by positioning the feedback resistors very close to
FB. Suggested PC component placement and board
layout are shown in Figures 4a and 4b.
