1.8V to 28V Input, PWM Step-Up  
Controllers in µMAX  
8/MAX69  
General Description  
Features  
o 1.8V Minimum Start-Up Voltage (MAX669)  
The MAX668/MAX669 constant-frequency, pulse-width-  
modulating (PWM), current-mode DC-DC controllers are  
designed for a wide range of DC-DC conversion applica-  
tions including step-up, SEPIC, flyback, and isolated-  
output configurations. Power levels of 20W or more can  
be controlled with conversion efficiencies of over 90%.  
The 1.8V to 28V input voltage range supports a wide  
range of battery and AC-powered inputs. An advanced  
BiCMOS design features low operating current (220µA),  
adjustable operating frequency (100kHz to 500kHz),  
soft-start, and a SYNC input allowing the MAX668/  
MAX669 oscillator to be locked to an external clock.  
o Wide Input Voltage Range (1.8V to 28V)  
o Tiny 10-Pin µMAX Package  
o Current-Mode PWM and Idle Mode™ Operation  
o Efficiency over 90%  
o Adjustable 100kHz to 500kHz Oscillator or  
SYNC Input  
o 220µA Quiescent Current  
o Logic-Level Shutdown  
o Soft-Start  
Applications  
Cellular Telephones  
DC-DC conversion efficiency is optimized with a low  
100mV current-sense voltage as well as with Maxim’s  
proprietary Idle Mode™ control scheme. The controller  
operates in PWM mode at medium and heavy loads for  
lowest noise and optimum efficiency, then pulses only as  
needed (with reduced inductor current) to reduce oper-  
ating current and maximize efficiency under light loads.  
A logic-level shutdown input is also included, reducing  
supply current to 3.5µA.

PIN-PACKAGE  
The MAX669, optimized for low input voltages with a  
guaranteed start-up voltage of 1.8V, requires boot-  
strapped operation (IC powered from boosted output). It  
supports output voltages up to 28V. The MAX668 oper-  
ates with inputs as low as 3V and can be connected in  
either a bootstrapped or non-bootstrapped (IC powered  
from input supply or other source) configuration. When  
not bootstrapped, it has no restriction on output voltage.  
Both ICs are available in an extremely compact 10-pin  
µMAX package.

Detailed Description  
The MAX668/MAX669 current-mode PWM controllers  
operate in a wide range of DC-DC conversion applica-  
tions, including boost, SEPIC, flyback, and isolated out-  
put configurations. Optimum conversion efficiency is  
maintained over a wide range of loads by employing  
both PWM operation and Maxim’s proprietary Idle  
Mode control to minimize operating current at light  
loads. Other features include shutdown, adjustable  
internal operating frequency or synchronization to an  
external clock, soft start, adjustable current limit, and a  
wide (1.8V to 28V) input range.  
EXT with an open-loop, 50% duty-cycle start-up oscilla-  
tor when LDO is below 2.5V. It switches to closed-loop  
operation only when LDO exceeds 2.5V. If a non-boot-  
strapped connection is used with the MAX669 and if  
V
(the input voltage) remains below 2.7V, the output

voltage will soar above the regulation point. Table 2  
recommends the appropriate device for each biasing  
option.

MAX668 vs. MAX669 Differences  
Differences between the MAX668 and MAX669 relate  
to their use in bootstrapped or non-bootstrapped cir-  
cuits (Table 1). The MAX668 operates with inputs as  
low as 3V and can be connected in either a boot-  
strapped or non-bootstrapped (IC powered from input  
supply or other source) configuration. When not boot-  
strapped, the MAX668 has no restriction on output volt-  
age. When bootstrapped, the output cannot exceed  
28V.

PWM Controller  
The heart of the MAX668/MAX669 current-mode PWM  
controller is a BiCMOS multi-input comparator that  
simultaneously processes the output-error signal, the  
current-sense signal, and a slope-compensation ramp  
(Figure 1). The main PWM comparator is direct sum-  
ming, lacking a traditional error amplifier and its associ-  
ated phase shift. The direct summing configuration  
approaches ideal cycle-by-cycle control over the out-  
put voltage since there is no conventional error amp in  
the feedback path.  
Bootstrapped/Non-Bootstrapped Operation  
Low-Dropout Regulator (LDO)  
Several IC biasing options, including bootstrapped and  
non-bootstrapped operation, are made possible by an  
on-chip, low-dropout 5V regulator. The regulator input is  
at V , while its output is at LDO. All MAX668/MAX669  
CC  
functions, including EXT, are internally powered from  
LDO. The V -to-LDO dropout voltage is typically  
CC  
200mV (300mV max at 12mA), so that when V  
than 5.2V, LDO is typically V  
in dropout, the MAX668/MAX669 still operate with V

OUT  
in the boost configuration). The current-mode feedback  
loop regulates peak inductor current as a function of  
the output error signal.  
LDO can supply up to 12mA to power the IC, supply  
gate charge through EXT to the external FET, and sup-  
ply small external loads. When driving particularly large  
FETs at high switching rates, little or no LDO current  
may be available for external loads. For example, when  
switched at 500kHz, a large FET with 20nC gate charge  
requires 20nC x 500kHz, or 10mA.  
At light loads the controller enters Idle Mode. During  
Idle Mode, switching pulses are provided only as need-  
ed to service the load, and operating current is mini-  
mized to provide best light-load efficiency. The  
minimum-current comparator threshold is 15mV, or 15%

The MAX668/MAX669’s high switching frequency  
demands a high-speed rectifier. Schottky diodes are  
recommended for most applications because of their  
fast recovery time and low forward voltage. Ensure that  
the diode’s average current rating is adequate using  
the diode manufacturer’s data, or approximate it with  
the following formula:  
the selected inductor should meet or exceed the calcu-  
lated value for I , although most coil types can be

Power MOSFET Selection  
The MAX668/MAX669 drive a wide variety of N-channel  
power MOSFETs (NFETs). Since LDO limits the EXT  
output gate drive to no more than 5V, a logic-level  
NFET is required. Best performance, especially at low  
input voltages (below 5V), is achieved with low-thresh-

not be adequate for low output voltage ripple. Since  
In bootstrapped configurations with the MAX668 or  
MAX669, there may be circumstances where full load  
current can only be applied after the circuit has started  
and the output is near its set value. As the input voltage  
drops, this limitation becomes more severe. This char-  
acteristic of all bootstrapped designs occurs when the  
MOSFET gate is not fully driven until the output voltage  
rises. This is problematic because a heavily loaded out-  
put cannot rise until the MOSFET has low on-resis-

noise injection. The value of C is largely determined  
IN  
by the source impedance of the input supply. High  
source impedance requires high input capacitance,  
particularly as the input voltage falls. Since step-up DC-  
DC converters act as “constant-power” loads to their  
input supply, input current rises as input voltage falls.  
Consequently, in low-input-voltage designs, increasing  
Layout Considerations  
Due to high current levels and fast switching waveforms  
that radiate noise, proper PC board layout is essential.  
Protect sensitive analog grounds by using a star ground  
configuration. Minimize ground noise by connecting  
GND, PGND, the input bypass-capacitor ground lead,  
and the output-filter ground lead to a single point (star  
ground configuration). Also, minimize trace lengths to  
reduce stray capacitance, trace resistance, and radiat-  
ed noise. The trace between the external gain-setting  
resistors and the FB pin must be extremely short, as  
must the trace between GND and PGND.

Low-Voltage Boost Circuit  
Figure 3 shows the MAX669 operating in a low-voltage  
boost application. The MAX669 is configured in the  
bootstrapped mode to improve low input voltage per-  
formance. The IRF7401 N-channel MOSFET was select-  
ed for Q1 in this application because of its very low

+12V Boost Application  
Figure 5 shows the MAX668 operating in a 5V to 12V  
boost application. This circuit provides output currents  
of greater than 1A at a typical efficiency of 92%. The  
MAX668 is operated in non-bootstrapped mode to mini-  
mize the input supply current. This achieves maximum  
light-load efficiency. If input voltages below 5V are  
used, the IC should be operated in bootstrapped mode  
to achieve best low-voltage performance.

1.5C will also provide sufficient compensation.

Applications Information  
Starting Under Load  
In non-bootstrapped configurations (Figures 4 and 5),  
the MAX668 can start up with any combination of out-  
put load and input voltage at which it can operate when  
already started. In other words, there are no special  
limitations to start-up in non-bootstrapped circuits.  
4-Cell to +5V SEPIC Power Supply  
Figure 6 shows the MAX668 in a SEPIC (single-ended  
primary inductance converter) configuration. This con-  
figuration is useful when the input voltage can be either

larger or smaller than the output voltage, such as when  
Isolated +5V to +5V Power Supply  
converting four NiMH, NiCd, or Alkaline cells to a 5V  
output. The SEPIC configuration is often a good choice  
for combined step-up/step-down applications.  
The circuit of Figure 7 provides a 5V isolated output at  
400mA from a 5V input power supply. Transformer T1  
provides electrical isolation for the forward path of the  
converter, while the TLV431 shunt regulator and  
MOC211 opto-isolator provide an isolated feedback  
error voltage for the converter. The output voltage is set  
by resistors R2 and R3 such that the mid-point of the  
divider is 1.24V (threshold of TLV431). Output voltage  
can be adjusted from 1.24V to 6V by selecting the  
proper ratio for R2 and R3. For output voltages greater  
than 6V, substitute the TL431 for the TLV431, and use  
2.5V as the voltage at the midpoint of the voltage-  
divider.  
The N-channel MOSFET (Q1) must be selected to with-  
stand a drain-to-source voltage (V ) greater than the  
DS  
sum of the input and output voltages. The coupling  
capacitor (C2) must be a low-ESR type to achieve max-  
imum efficiency. C2 must also be able to handle high  
ripple currents; ordinary tantalum capacitors should not  
be used for high-current designs.  
The circuit in Figure 6 provides greater than 1A output  
current at 5V when operating with an input voltage from  
3V to 25V. Efficiency will typically be between 70% and  
85%, depending upon the input voltage and output cur-  
rent.
