Product details

Boost controller for single-rail designs

The MAX608ESA+ is a current-mode PWM boost controller IC from Analog Devices, designed for step-up DC-DC conversion where an external transistor handles the power stage. Its 1.8 V to 16.5 V supply range means it can start from a single lithium cell or a regulated 3.3 V rail and generate a higher output voltage for loads like LCD bias, sensor supplies, or local power rails.

What the ratings mean for your BOM

With a Transistor Driver output and no synchronous rectifier, the external FET and diode selection determines the efficiency curve — the controller itself handles the PWM loop and fault protection. The Enable control pin lets a system supervisor or GPIO gate the converter on and off, cutting quiescent draw when the boosted rail is not needed.

Supplied in Tube packaging, it is ready for hand-assembly or low-volume pick-and-place with a tube feeder.

ROHS3 compliant, with no exemptions that would restrict EU or California market use.

Frequently asked questions

What is the MAX608ESA+ used for?

It is a boost (step-up) controller that drives an external transistor to generate a higher output voltage from a lower input rail — common in battery-powered equipment, LCD bias supplies, and local power conversion where the load needs a voltage above the main bus.
