MAX685EEE+

The MAX685EEE DC-DC converter provides low-noise dual outputs for powering CCD imaging devices and LCDs. This device uses a single inductor to provide independently regulated positive and negative outputs. Integrated power switches are included in a small 24-Pin 4mm x 4mm Thin QFN package to save space and reduce cost. A 16-pin QSOP package is also available. Each output delivers up to 10mA from a +2.7V to +5.5V input voltage range. Output voltages are set independently up to 24V and down to -9V. With a few additional low-cost components, the output voltages can be set at up to 45V and down to -16V. Output ripple magnitude is 30mVp-p. The MAX685EEE uses a fixed-frequency, pulse-width-modulated (PWM) control scheme at 220kHz or 400kHz to permit output noise filtering and to reduce the size of external components. The frequency can also be synchronized to an external clock signal between 200kHz and 480kHz. The MAX685EEE has a power-OK indicator output (POK) that signals when both outputs are within regulation. A logic-controlled shutdown completely turns off both outputs and reduces supply current to 0.1μA. The user can also set which output turns on first. The preassembled MAX685EEE evaluation kit is available to reduce design time.
