Boost converter for single-cell to 3.3 V / 5 V rails
The Maxim Integrated MAX1797EUA+ is a step-up (boost) switching regulator that delivers up to 800 mA on the internal switch from an input voltage as low as 1 V and as high as 5.5 V.
Input range and output flexibility
The 1 V minimum input lets the part start and run from a nearly depleted single-cell battery, while the 5.5 V maximum covers two-cell alkaline or single-cell Li-ion without overvoltage stress.
Temperature grade and environment
Rated for -40°C to 85°C ambient, the MAX1797EUA+ fits industrial control, outdoor telecom, automotive cabin, and portable instrumentation where the board sees temperature swings but not under-hood extremes. The synchronous rectifier helps maintain efficiency across load and temperature, reducing heat dissipation in a small package.
Lifecycle and sourcing
The MAX1797EUA+ carries an Active lifecycle status and is ROHS3 compliant.
