________________General Description
The MAX1672 integrates a step-up DC-DC converter with a
linear regulator to provide step-up/down voltage conver-
sion. This device provides a constant output voltage for
inputs that vary above and below the output voltage. It has
a 1.8V to 11V input range and a preset 3.3V or 5V output.
The output can also be set from 1.25V to 5.5V using two
resistors. Typical efficiency is 85%.
The MAX1672’s step-up/linear-regulator configuration per-
mits the use of a single, physically smaller inductor than
can be used with competing SEPIC and flyback configura-
tions. Switch current is also selectable, permitting the use
of smaller inductors in low-current applications. The linear
regulator also acts as a filter to reduce output ripple voltage.
The MAX1672 has a low 85µA quiescent supply current, which
is further reduced to 0.1µA in logic-controlled shutdown. The
output voltage is disconnected from the input in shutdown.
The MAX1672 also has a PGI/PGO low-battery detector.
The MAX1672 comes in a 16-pin QSOP package (same size
as a standard 8-pin SO). For a larger device that delivers more
output current, refer to the MAX710/MAX711. The preassem-
bled MAX1672 evaluation kit is available to speed designs.

FUNCTION
Inductor Connection to the Drain of the Internal N-Channel Power MOSFET
Power Ground
On Control Input. When
ONB
= low or ONA = high, the IC is on. Connect
ONB
to GND for normal operation
(Table 1).
On Control Input. When ONA = low and
ONB
= high, the IC is off. Connect ONA to PS for normal operation
(Table 1).
Output Voltage Selection Input. Connect to PS for 3.3V output and to GND for 5V output. With V
FB
> 80mV,
the state of the 3/5 pin is ignored (Table 2).
Low-Battery Detector Input (1.25V threshold)
Low-Battery Detector Output (open drain).
PGO
pulls low when V
PGI
is greater than 1.25V.
Inductor-Current-Limit Selection Input. Connect to PS for 0.8A current limit and to GND for 0.5A current limit.
Regulator Output. Drain of internal PFET linear regulator. Bypass with a 4.7µF capacitor to GND.
Feedback Input. For 3.3V or 5V output, connect to GND. For adjustable output, connect to feedback resistor-
divider network. With V
FB
> 70mV, the state of the 3/5 pin is ignored.
Bootstrapped Power Supply. Output of step-up switch-mode regulator and source of internal PFET linear
regulator. The IC is powered from this pin.
Input Voltage Sense Input. Connect to input supply.
Reference Voltage Output. Bypass with a 0.1µF capacitor to GND.
