Boost regulator for battery-powered and low-VIN rails
The MAX756CPA+: It operates at a fixed 500 kHz switching frequency and is packaged in an 8-pin DIP (0.300" body) for through-hole assembly.
Input range, output options, and thermal envelope
The regulator is non-synchronous (no internal synchronous rectifier), so the external Schottky diode and inductor must be selected for the peak switch current and output voltage. The 8-PDIP package (0.300" width, 7.62 mm body) is through-hole, suited for prototyping, low-volume builds, or designs where rework access is needed.
