_______________General Description
The MAX629 low-power DC-DC converter features an
internal N-channel MOSFET switch and programmable
current limiting. It is designed to supply positive or neg-
ative bias voltages up to ±28V from input voltages in
the 0.8V to V
OUT
range, and can be configured for
boost, flyback, and SEPIC topologies.
The MAX629’s current-limited pulse-frequency-modula-
tion (PFM) control scheme provides high efficiency over
a wide range of load conditions. An internal, 0.5A N-
channel MOSFET switch reduces the total part count,
and a high switching frequency (up to 300kHz) allows
for tiny surface-mount magnetics.
The MAX629’s combination of low supply current, logic-
controlled shutdown, small package, and tiny external
components makes it an extremely compact and effi-
cient high-voltage biasing solution that’s ideal for bat-
tery-powered applications. The MAX629 is available in
an 8-pin SO package.
