Product Summary

The MAX1687EUE is a step-up DC-DC converter which delivers up to 2W from a single Li-Ion or three NiMH cells. The devices are ideal for burst-load applications such as GSM cell phones and wireless LANs, where the RF power amplifiers require short, high current bursts. The MAX1687EUE reduces battery surge current by slowly charging a reservoir capacitor, which supplies the necessary peak energy for the load current burst. As a result, the peak battery current is limited, thus maximizing battery life and minimizing battery voltage sag and transient dips. An internal synchronous rectifier provides over 90% conversion efficiency and eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode. A logic shutdown mode reduces the shutdown current to only 3µA. The devices can be disabled during current bursts (RF transmit mode) to eliminate switching noise. Applications include GSM Phones, Wireless Handsets and PC Cards (PCMCIA).
