Application Circuits
1-Cell to 3.3V SEPIC Power Supply
Figure 3 shows the MAX17067 in a single-ended primary
inductance converter (SEPIC) topology. This topology is
useful when the input voltage can be either higher or
lower than the output voltage, such as when converting
a single lithium-ion (Li+) cell to a 3.3V output. L1A and
L1B are two windings on a single inductor. The coupling
capacitor between these two windings must be a low-
ESR type to achieve maximum efficiency, and must also
be able to handle high ripple currents. Ceramic capaci-
tors are best for this application. The circuit in Figure 3
provides 400mA output current at 3.3V output when
operating with an input voltage from +2.6V to +4.0V.
AMLCD Application
Figure 4 shows a power supply for active matrix (TFT-
LCD) flat-panel displays. Output-voltage transient per-
formance is a function of the load characteristic. Add or
remove output capacitance (and recalculate compen-
sation-network component values) as necessary to
meet transient performance. Regulation performance
for secondary outputs (VGOFF and VGON) depends on
the load characteristics of all three outputs.
