_______________General Description
The MAX1642/MAX1643 are high-efficiency, low-voltage,
step-up DC-DC converters intended for devices pow-
ered by a single alkaline cell. They feature low quies-
cent supply currents and are supplied in the ultra-small
µMAX package, which is only 1.1mm high. The guaran-
teed start-up voltage is 0.88V.
Each device consists of an internal 1Ω, N-channel
MOSFET power switch; a built-in synchronous rectifier
that acts as the catch diode; an oscillator; a reference;
and pulse-frequency-modulation (PFM) control circuitry.
Both devices feature an independent undervoltage
comparator (PFI/PFO). The MAX1642 also includes a
2µA logic-controlled shutdown mode. The MAX1643
offers a dedicated low-battery detector (BATTLO) in
lieu of shutdown.
The output voltage for each device is preset to 3.3V
±4%, or can be adjusted from +2V to +5.2V using only
two resistors.

Note 1:
The reverse battery current is measured from the
Typical Operating Circuit’s
input terminal to GND when the battery is con-
nected backward. A reverse current of 220mA will not exceed package dissipation limits but, if left for an extended time
(more than 10 minutes), may degrade performance.
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.
