Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these
or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.

Note 1:
Limits are 100% production tested at T
A
= +25°C. Limits over the operating temperature range are guaranteed by design.
Note 2:
Guaranteed with the addition of a Schottky MBR0520L external diode between LX and OUT when using the MAX1723 with
only one cell, and assumes a 0.3V voltage drop across the Schottky diode (see Figure 3).
Note 3:
Supply current is measured with an ammeter between the output and OUT pin. This current correlates directly with actual
battery supply current, but is reduced in value according to the step-up ratio and efficiency.
Note 4:
