Six-Channel, High-Efficiency, Digital
Camera Power Supplies
The MAX1566/MAX1567 provide a complete powersupply solution for digital cameras. They improve performance, component count, and size compared to conventional multichannel controllers in 2-cell AA,
1-cell lithium-ion (Li+), and dual-battery designs. On-chip
MOSFETs provide up to 95% efficiency for critical power
supplies, while additional channels operate with external
FETs for optimum design flexibility. This optimizes overall
efficiency and cost, while also reducing board space.
The MAX1566/MAX1567 include six high-efficiency DCto-DC conversion channels:
Features
♦ 95% Efficient Step-Up DC-to-DC Converter
♦ 0.7V Minimum Input Voltage
♦ Main DC-to-DC Configurable as Either Step-Up or
Step-Down
♦ Combine Step-Up and Step-Down for 90%
Efficient Boost-Buck
♦ 95% Efficient Step-Down for DSP Core
♦ Regulate LED Current for Four, Six, or More LEDs
♦ Open LED Overvoltage Protection
• Step-up DC-to-DC converter with on-chip power FETs
♦ Transformerless Inverting Controller (MAX1567)
• Main DC-to-DC converter with on-chip FETs, configurable to step either up or down
♦ Three Extra PWM Controllers (Two on the
MAX1567)
• Step-down core DC-to-DC converter with on-chip
FETs
♦ Up to 1MHz Operating Frequency
• DC-to-DC controller for white LEDs or other output
♦ Soft-Start and Overload Protection
♦ Compact 40-Pin 6mm x 6mm Thin QFN Package

All DC-to-DC channels operate at one fixed frequency
settable from 100kHz to 1MHz to optimize size, cost, and
efficiency. Other features include soft-start, power-OK
outputs, and overload protection. The MAX1566/
MAX1567 are available in space-saving 40-pin thin QFN
packages. An evaluation kit is available to expedite
designs.

Note 1: LXSU has internal clamp diodes to PVSU and PGSU, LXM has internal clamp diodes to PVM and PGM, and LXSD has internal clamp diodes to PVSD and PGSD. Applications that forward bias these diodes should take care not to exceed the
devices’ power dissipation limits.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 2: The MAX1566/MAX1567 are powered from the step-up output (PVSU). An internal low-voltage startup oscillator drives the
step-up starting at approximately 0.9V until PVSU reaches approximately 2.5V. When PVSU reaches 2.5V, the main control
circuitry takes over. Once the step-up is up and running, it can maintain operation with very low input voltages; however,
output current is limited.
Note 3: Since the device is powered from PVSU, a Schottky rectifier, connected from the battery to PVSU, is required for low-voltage
startup.
Note 4: The step-up regulator is in startup mode until this voltage is reached. Do not apply full load current during startup. A powerOK output can be used with an external PFET to gate the load until the step-up is in regulation. See the AUX1OK, SDOK,
and SCF Connections section.
Note 5: The step-up current limit in startup refers to the LXSU switch current limit, not the output current limit.
Note 6: If the main converter is configured as a step-up (SUSD = PVSU), the P-channel synchronous rectifier is disabled until the
2.5V normal operation threshold has been exceeded. If the main converter is configured as a step-down (SUSD = GND), all
step-down operation is locked out until the normal operation threshold has been exceeded. When the main is configured as
a step-down, operation in dropout (100% duty cycle) can only be maintained for 100,000 OSC cycles before the output is
considered faulted, triggering global shutdown.

Six-Channel, High-Efficiency, Digital
Camera Power Supplies
The MAX1566/MAX1567 include the following blocks to
build a multiple-output digital camera power-supply
system. Both devices can accept inputs from a variety
of sources including 1-cell Li+ batteries, 2-cell alkaline
or NiMH batteries, and even systems designed to
accept both battery types. The MAX1566/
MAX1567 include six DC-to-DC converter channels to
generate all required voltages:
• Step-up DC-to-DC converter (_SU pins) with on-chip
power FETS
• Main DC-to-DC converter (_M pins) with on-chip
power FETS that can be configured as either a stepup or step-down DC-to-DC converter
• Step-down core DC-to-DC converter with on-chip
MOSFETs (_SD pins)
• AUX1 DC-to-DC controller for boost and flyback
converters
• AUX2 DC-to-DC controller for boost and flyback
converters (MAX1566)
• AUX2 DC-to-DC controller for inverting DC-to-DC
converters (MAX1567)
• AUX3 DC-to-DC controller for white LED as well as
conventional boost applications; includes open LED
overvoltage protection
Step-Up DC-to-DC Converter
The step-up DC-to-DC switching converter typically is
used to generate a 5V output voltage from a 1.5V to
4.5V battery input, but any voltage from VIN to 5V can
be set. An internal NFET switch and external synchronous rectifier allow conversion efficiencies as high as
95%. Under moderate to heavy loading, the converter
operates in a low-noise PWM mode with constant
frequency and modulated pulse width. Switching
harmonics generated by fixed-frequency operation are
consistent and easily filtered. Efficiency is enhanced
under light (
