MAX17250
2.7V to 18V Input, Boost Converter with 0.1μA
True Shutdown, Short-Circuit Protection
and Selectable Input Current Limit
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX17250 DC-DC boost converter is a high-efficiency,
low quiescent current, synchronous boost (step-up)
converter with True Shutdown™, program
mable input
current limit, and short-circuit protection. The MAX17250
has a wide input voltage range of 2.7V to 18V and
generates an output voltage of 3V to 18V. The MAX17250
has a maximum on-time of 800ns and implements three
modes of operation. The first mode of operation is a
soft-start mode at power-up. The second mode of
operation is normal operation and utilizes a fixed on-time/
minimum off-time Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM)
architecture that uses only 60μA (typ) quiescent
current due to the converter switching only when needed.
The last mode is True Shutdown, where the output is
completely disconnected from the input, and the battery
drain is minimized to 0.1μA (typ) shutdown current. The
MAX17250 is available in a compact, 12-bump, 1.72mm
x 1.49mm WLP or a 14-pin, 3mm x 3mm TDFN package.
