MAX8857A
The MAX8857A PMIC provides a complete power-sup-
ply solution for digital still cameras (DSCs) and digital
video cameras (DVCs). The MAX8857A improves per-
formance, component count, and board space utiliza-
tion compared to currently available solutions for 2 AA
cell and dual-battery designs. On-chip power
MOSFETs provide up to 95% efficiency for critical
power supplies. The CCD inverter can operate directly
from 2 AA/NiMH batteries without the use of any addi-
tional external components.
• Step-up synchronous-rectified DC-DC converter
(SU). The MAX8857A is bootstrapped from V
SU

•
MAIN synchronous-rectified step-up DC-DC converter
(M) with active discharge for DSP I/O supply voltage.
SDZ synchronous-rectified step-down DC-DC con-
verter (Z) for DSP DDR supply voltage.
Low-voltage (down to 1V) synchronous-rectified
step-down DC-DC converter (SD) for DSP core sup-
ply voltage.
Step-up DC-DC converter with current regulation
and PWM dimming control (LEDBST) for up to 6
series white LEDs (WLED).
High-voltage step-up DC-DC converter (CCDBST)
for CCD imagers or positive LCD bias supplies.
Transformerless inverting DC-DC converter (CCDINV)
for CCD imagers or negative LCD bias supplies.
This
converter can connect directly to 2 AA batteries.

The MAX8857A has an independent/simultaneous
power-on sequence of the CCDBST and CCDINV con-
verters. For a preset power-on sequence of CCDBST
before CCDINV, contact the factory.
The MAX8857A is available in a 5mm x 5mm, 40-pin thin
QFN package and operates over the -40°C to +85°C
extended temperature range.
Applications
DSCs and DVCs
PDAs and Portable Media Players
