What the inverting charge pump does on the board
The MAX1697SEUT is an inverting charge pump IC from Maxim Integrated, designed to generate a negative output voltage from a positive input rail using only a few external capacitors. This part is listed with a Bulk package, which typically means it is supplied as loose devices in an antistatic bag or tube, not on tape and reel — a detail to confirm with your assembly house if you use automated pick-and-place.
Active production and RoHS compliance
Be aware that this device is listed as RoHS non-compliant — it does not meet the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive. If your BOM requires RoHS compliance, you will need to identify a compliant alternative or secure an exemption.
Sourcing and availability for volume purchases
As an active part, the MAX1697SEUT is sourced through authorized and independent distribution channels. Pricing and lead time are confirmed at the time of RFQ against your specific BOM quantity. For volume purchases, request a quote to secure current market pricing and delivery commitments. Availability is verified per lot at quote time.
