50mA Regulated Step-Down Charge Pump
for 1.8V or 1.9V Logic
General Description
The MAX1730 regulated step-down charge pump gen-
erates up to 50mA at fixed output voltages of 1.8V or
1.9V from an input voltage in the 2.7V to 5.5V range.
Specifically designed to provide high-efficiency logic
supplies in applications that demand a compact
design, the MAX1730 employs fractional conversion
techniques to provide efficiency exceeding that of a lin-
ear regulator.
The MAX1730 operates at up to 2MHz, permitting the
use of small 0.22µF flying capacitors while maintaining
low 75µA quiescent supply current. Proprietary soft-
start circuitry prevents excessive current from being
drawn from the supply during startup, making the
MAX1730 compatible with higher impedance sources
such as alkaline and lithium-ion cells.
The MAX1730 is available in a space-saving 10-pin
µMAX package that is only 1.09mm high and occupies
one-half the area of an 8-pin SO.

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.
