Boost converter parametrics for the BOM line
The MAX1675EUA+: The synchronous rectifier on-chip eliminates the external Schottky diode, reducing the BOM count and the forward-voltage drop at light loads — a meaningful efficiency gain when the load current varies widely, as in sensor nodes or handheld instruments.
Switching frequency and temperature grade
Switching frequency reaches up to 500 Hz — this is a low-frequency part suited for applications where switching noise must stay below the audio band or where the inductor size is not the primary constraint.
Package and board-fit note
Supplied in tube format, the part is suitable for hand-assembly or low-volume reflow without the reel-up-front cost of tape-and-reel packaging.
