EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE MAX756/MAX757 LE AVAILAB 3.3V/5V/Adjustable-Output, Step-Up DC-DC Converters _______________General Description The MAX756/MAX757 are CMOS step-up DC-DC switching regulators for small, low input voltage or battery-powered systems. The MAX756 accepts a positive input voltage down to 0.7V and converts it to a higher pinselectable output voltage of 3.3V or 5V. The MAX757 is an adjustable version that accepts an input voltage down to 0.7V and generates a higher adjustable output voltage in the range from 2.7V to 5.5V. Typical full-load efficiencies for the MAX756/MAX757 are greater than 87%. The MAX756/MAX757 provide three improvements over previous devices. Physical size is reduced—the high switching frequencies (up to 0.5MHz) made possible by MOSFET power transistors allow for tiny (
