MAX8685A/MAX8685C/MAX8685D/MAX8685F
The MAX8685 family charges high-voltage photoflash
capacitors quickly, while limiting peak drain from the
battery, through an efficient flyback switching regulator.
The internal n-channel MOSFET improves efficiency
over competing bipolar designs by lowering switch-
voltage dropout. An integrated insulated gate bipolar
transistor (IGBT) driver enables flash discharge and
reduces external component count. The device
includes an open-drain
DONE
output to indicate when
the photoflash voltage has reached regulation. The
device automatically refreshes the output voltage every
16s, thus efficiently maintains the capacitor charge
level with minimum battery drain.
The MAX8685A/MAX8685F feature an undervoltage
input (UVI) monitor. UVI monitors the supply voltage
and suspends switching if the input voltage drops
below a programmed threshold. The MAX8685A/
MAX8685F also feature a voltage-monitor output that
provides a scaled replica of the output voltage. The
voltage-monitor output is used for interfacing with a
microprocessor’s internal A/D converter to assist in
implementing red-eye reduction.
The MAX8685C/MAX8685D, with fixed peak-primary
current limits of 1A and 1.6A, respectively, are offered in
a 2mm x 3mm, 8-pin TDFN package. The MAX8685A/
MAX8685F, with resistor-programmable current limits of
up to 2A (max) and 2.6A (max), respectively, are offered
in a 3mm x 3mm, 14-pin TDFN package. All devices
operate over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

or PGND refer to the EP in the MAX8685C/MAX8685D.
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.
