MAX1760/MAX1760H
The MAX1760/MAX1760H are high-efficiency, low-noise, step-up DC-DC converters intended for use in batterypowered wireless applications. They combine low quiescent supply current (100A) with a high 1MHz operating frequency. Small external components and tiny 10-pin TDFN and MAX(R) packages make this device an excellent choice for small hand-held applications. The MAX1760 is activated by a logic-low ON signal while the MAX1760H is activated by a logic-high ON input. Both devices use a synchronous-rectified pulse-widthmodulation (PWM) boost topology to generate 2.5V to 5.5V outputs from a wide range of inputs, such as 1 to 3 alkaline or NiCd/NiMH cells or a single lithium-ion (Li+) cell. Proprietary Idle-ModeTM circuitry significantly improves light-load efficiency and smoothly transitions to fixed-frequency PWM operation at higher load currents. Low-noise, forced-PWM mode is available for applications requiring constant-frequency operation at all load currents. PWM operation can also be synchronized to an external clock to protect sensitive frequency bands in communications equipment. Analog soft-start and adjustable current limit permit optimization of efficiency, external component size, and output voltage ripple.

Detailed Description
The MAX1760 is a highly efficient, low-noise power supply for portable RF and hand-held instruments. It combines a boost switching regulator, N-channel power MOSFET, P-channel synchronous rectifier, precision reference, and shutdown control (Figure 1). The DC-DC converter boosts a 1-cell to 3-cell battery voltage input to a fixed 3.3V or adjustable voltage between 2.5V and 5.5V. An external Schottky diode is required for output voltages greater than 4V. The MAX1760 guarantees startup with an input voltage as low as 1.1V and remains operational down to an input of just 0.7V. It is optimized for use in cellular phones and other applications requiring low noise and low quiescent current for maximum battery life. It features fixed-frequency operation at medium and heavy loads, but at light loads, switches only as needed for optimum efficiency. This device is also capable of constant-frequency (1MHz), low-noise PWM operation at all load currents, or frequency-synchronized PWM operation when connected to an external clock. Table 1 lists some typical outputs. Shutdown reduces quiescent current to just 1A. Figure 2 shows the standard application circuit for the MAX1760.

Step-Up Converter
During DC-DC converter operation, the internal N-channel MOSFET switch turns on for the first part of each cycle, allowing current to ramp up in the inductor and store energy in a magnetic field. During the second part of each cycle, the MOSFET turns off and inductor current flows through the synchronous rectifier to the

output filter capacitor and the load. As the energy stored in the inductor is depleted, the current ramps down and the synchronous rectifier turns off. At light loads, the device operates at fixed frequency or only as needed to maintain regulation, depending on the CLK/SEL setting (Table 2).
Synchronous Rectifier
The MAX1760 features an internal, P-channel synchronous rectifier to enhance efficiency. Synchronous rectification provides 5% improved efficiency over similar nonsynchronous boost regulators. In PWM mode, the synchronous rectifier is turned on during the second half of each switching cycle. In low-power mode, an internal comparator turns on the synchronous rectifier when the voltage at LX exceeds the boost regulator output, and turns it off when the inductor current drops below 60mA. When setting output voltages greater than 4V, an external 0.5A Schottky diode must be connected in parallel with the on-chip synchronous rectifier.
Normal Operation
Pulling CLK/SEL low selects the MAX1760's normal operating mode. In this mode, the device operates in PWM when driving medium-to-heavy loads, and automatically switches to PFM if the load requires less power. PFM operation allows higher efficiency than PWM under light-load conditions.
Forced-PWM Operation
When CLK/SEL is high, the MAX1760 operates in a lownoise PWM-only mode. During forced-PWM operation, the MAX1760 switches at a constant frequency (1MHz) and modulates the MOSFET switch pulse width to control the power transferred per cycle to regulate the output voltage. Switching harmonics generated by fixed-frequency operation are consistent and easily filtered. See the Noise Spectrum plot in the Typical Operating Characteristics.
Low-Voltage Startup Oscillator
The MAX1760 uses a CMOS, low-voltage startup oscillator for a 1.1V guaranteed minimum startup input voltage. At startup, the low-voltage oscillator switches the N-channel MOSFET until the output voltage reaches 2.15V. Above this level, the normal boost-converter feedback and control circuitry take over. Once the device is in regulation, it can operate down to 0.7V input since internal power for the IC is bootstrapped from the output through OUT. Do not apply full load until the output exceeds 2.3V.
Synchronized-PWM Operation
The MAX1760 can be synchronized in PWM mode to an external frequency of 500kHz to 1.2MHz by applying an external clock signal to CLK/SEL. This allows interference to be minimized in wireless applications. The synchronous rectifier is active during synchronized-PWM operation.
8
Shutdown
The MAX1760 has a shutdown mode that reduces quiescent current to 0.1A. During shutdown (ON = high on MAX1760, ON = low on MAX1760H), the reference and all feedback and control circuitry are off. During shutdown, the output voltage is one diode drop below the input voltage.

Reference
The MAX1760 has an internal 1.250V 1% reference. Connect a 0.22F ceramic bypass capacitor from REF to GND within 0.2in (5mm) of the REF pin. REF can source up to 50A of external load current.
where VFB, the boost-regulator feedback set point, is 1.24V.
Setting the Switch Current Limit and Soft-Start
The ISET pin adjusts the inductor current limit and implements soft-start. With ISET connected to REF, the inductor current limits at 1.25A. With ISET connected to a resistive divider set from REF to GND, the current limit is reduced according to: V ILIM = 1.25A ISET 1.25V Implement soft-start by placing a resistor from ISET to REF and a capacitor from ISET to GND. In shutdown, ISET is discharged to GND through an on-chip 100k resistor. At power-up, ISET is 0V and the LX current is zero. As the capacitor voltage rises, the current increases and the output voltage rises. The soft-start

Design Procedure
Setting the Output Voltages
For a fixed 3.3V output, connect FB to GND. To set other output voltages between 2.5V and 5.5V, connect a resistor voltage-divider to FB from OUT to GND (Figure 3). The input bias current into FB is <20nA, allowing large-value divider resistors without sacrificing accuracy. Connect the resistor voltage-divider as close to the IC as possible, within 0.2in (5mm) of FB. Choose R2 of 270k or less, then calculate R1 using: V R1 = R2 OUT - 1 VFB

External Diode
For output voltages greater than 4V, an external Schottky diode must be connected from LX to POUT, in parallel with the on-chip synchronous rectifier (Figure 6). The diode should be rated for 0.5A. Representative devices are Motorola MBR0520L, Nihon EP05Q03L, or generic 1N5817. This external diode is also recommended for applications that must start with input voltages at or below 1.8V. The Schottky diode carries current during startup and after the synchronous rectifier turns off; thus, its current rating only needs to be 500mA. Connect the diode as close to the IC as possible. Do not use ordinary rectifier diodes; their slow switching speeds and long reverse-recovery times render them unacceptable. For circuits that do not require startup with inputs below 1.8V and have an output of 4V or less, no external diode is needed.
Note: Please indicate that you are using the MAX1760 when contacting these component suppliers.
time constant is: t SS = RSS CSS where RSS 470k. Placing a capacitor across the lower resistor of the current-limiting resistive divider provides both current-limit and soft-start features simultaneously (Figures 4 and 5).
Input and Output Filter Capacitors
Choose input and output filter capacitors that will service the input and output peak currents with acceptable voltage ripple. Choose input capacitors with working voltage ratings over the maximum input volt-
Inductor Selection
The MAX1760's high switching frequency allows the use of a small 3.3H surface-mount inductor. The chosen inductor should generally have a saturation current rating exceeding the N-channel switch current limit; however, it is acceptable to bias the inductor current into saturation by as much as 20% if a slight reduction in efficiency is acceptable. Lower current-rated inductors may be used if ISET is employed to reduce the peak inductor current (see the Setting the Switch Current Limit and Soft-Start section). For high efficiency, choose an inductor with a high-frequency ferrite core material to reduce core losses. To minimize radiated noise, use a toroid or shielded inductor. See Table 3 for suggested components and Table 4 for a list of component suppliers. Connect the inductor from the battery to the LX pin as close to the IC as possible.

age, and output capacitors with working voltage ratings higher than the output. The input filter capacitor reduces peak currents drawn from the input source and also reduces input switching noise. The input voltage source impedance determines the required value of the input capacitor. When operating directly from one or two NiMH cells placed close to the MAX1760, use a single 33F low-ESR input filter capacitor. With higher impedance batteries, such as alkaline and Li+, a higher value input capacitor may improve efficiency. The output filter capacitor reduces output ripple voltage and provides the load with transient peak currents when necessary. For the output, a 100F, low-equivalent-series-resistance (ESR) capacitor is recommended for most applications. Sanyo POSCAP, Panasonic SP/CB, and Kemet T510 are good low-ESR capacitors. Low-ESR tantalum capacitors offer a good tradeoff between price and performance. Do not exceed the ripple current ratings of tantalum capacitors. Avoid aluminum electrolytic capacitors; their high ESR typically results in higher output ripple voltage.
Other External Components
Two ceramic bypass capacitors are required for proper operation. Bypass REF to GND with 0.22F. Also, bypass OUT to GND with a 0.68F ceramic capacitor, and connect OUT to POUT with a 4.7 resistor. Each of these components should be placed as close to its respective IC pins as possible, within 0.2in (5mm). Table 4 lists suggested suppliers.

Layout Considerations
High switching frequencies and large peak currents make PCB layout a critical part of design. Poor design causes excessive EMI and ground bounce, both of which can cause instability or regulation errors by corrupting the voltage and current feedback signals. Power components--such as the inductor, converter IC, filter capacitors, and output diode--should be placed as close together as possible, and their traces should be kept short, direct, and wide. Keep the voltage feedback network very close to the IC, within 0.2in (5mm) of the FB pin. Keep noisy traces, such as those from the LX pin, away from the voltage feedback network and guarded from them using grounded copper. Refer to the MAX1760 evaluation kit for a full PCB example.
