Product details

Boost controller for legacy and low-volume builds

It drives an external transistor switch to generate a regulated positive output voltage higher than the input.

The RoHS compliance status is non-compliant, which means the part contains lead (Pb) in the solder-dipped leads or die-attach. For designs that must meet RoHS exemption-free requirements, this part will not pass incoming inspection unless a specific exemption (e.g., lead in high-melting-temperature solder) is documented. For prototype runs, repair depots, or markets where RoHS is not enforced, the non-compliant status is often acceptable.

Frequently asked questions

Is MAX770CPA a synchronous boost converter?

No, the MAX770CPA does not include synchronous rectification. It requires an external Schottky diode as the output rectifier. The datasheet will show typical efficiency curves for a given diode selection.
