Pin Description PIN NAME FUNCTION
1 LBI Low-Battery Comparator Input. Internally set to trip at +0.85V. This function remains operational in shutdown. 2 FB Dual-Mode™ Feedback Input. Connect to GND for preset 5.0V output. Connect to OUT for preset 3.3V output. Connect a resistive voltage-divider from OUT to GND to adjust the output voltage from 2V to 5.5V. 3 LBO Low-Battery Comparator Output, Open-Drain Output. LBO is high impedance when VLBI < 0.85V. This function remains operational in shutdown. 4 SHDN Shutdown Input. If SHDN is high, the device is in shutdown mode, OUT is high impedance, and LBI/LBO are still operational. Connect shutdown to GND for normal operation. 5 GND Ground 6 LX Inductor Connection 7 OUT Power Output. OUT provides bootstrap power to the IC. 8 BATT Battery Input and Damping Switch Connection
Detailed Description
V The MAX1795/MAX1796/MAX1797 compact step-up IN DC-DC converters start up with voltages as low as 0.85V and operate with an input voltage down to +0.7V. 22µH 47µF 1M Consuming only 25μA of quiescent current, these devices BATT have an internal synchronous rectifier that reduces SHDN LX cost by eliminating the need for an external diode and VOUT = 3.3V improves overall efficiency by minimizing losses in the LBO OUT V

GND is typically 0.17Ω, which minimizes losses. The LX switch current limits of the MAX1795/MAX1796/MAX1797 are LBI FB 0.25A, 0.5A, and 1A, respectively. All three devices offer Maxim’s proprietary True Shutdown *SEE TABLE 1 FOR COMPONENT VALUES. circuitry, which disconnects the output from the input in shutdown and puts the output in a high impedance Figure 1.
