The MAX1730EUB regulated step-down charge pump generates up to 50mA at fixed output voltages of 1.8V or 1.9V from an input voltage in the 2.7V to 5.5V range. Specifically designed to provide high-efficiency logic supplies in applications that demand a compact design, the MAX1730EUB employs fractional conversion techniques to provide efficiency exceeding that of a linear regulator. The MAX1730EUB operates at up to 2MHz, permitting the use of small 0.22μF flying capacitors while maintaining low 75μA quiescent supply current. Proprietary soft-start circuitry prevents excessive current from being drawn from the supply during startup, making the MAX1730EUB compatible with higher impedance sources such as alkaline and lithium-ion cells. The MAX1730EUB is available in a space-saving 10-pin μMAX package that is only 1.09mm high and occupies one-half the area of an 8-pin SO.
