Up to 2MHz Switching Allows Small External
Components and Low Output Ripple
Automatic Pulse Skipping at Light Loads for
Extended Battery Life

Low 2µA Logic-Controlled Shutdown
True Shutdown Fully Discharges Output to Ground
MAX1947
The MAX1947 is a compact, high-efficiency, step-up DC-
DC converter that regulates output voltages from 1.8V to
3.3V to power µP/DSP cores, memory, and I/O rails in 1-
and 2-cell alkaline/NiMH/NiCd battery-powered systems.
It features an internal 800mA switch and synchronous
rectifier to achieve up to 94% efficiency and to eliminate
the need for an external Schottky diode.
High-frequency switching (up to 2MHz) results in low
ripple and small external components, while automatic
pulse skipping at light loads reduces supply current to
just 70µA for extended battery life. Maxim’s proprietary
True Shutdown™ reduces supply current to just 2µA
and fully discharges the output to ground. The convert-
er is offered in fixed-output voltages of 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.0V,
and 3.3V, requiring no feedback or compensation net-
work. A 75ms
RESET
output flag provides for power-on
reset (POR) and undervoltage detection. The MAX1947
is available in a space-saving 8-pin TDFN package.

Note 1:
LX has internal clamp diodes to PGND and OUT. Applications that forward bias these diodes should take care not to exceed the
IC’s package power-dissipation limits.
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.
