Boost regulator with a 750 mA switch in a 3x3 TDFN
The Maxim MAX8569AETT+T is a step-up (boost) switching regulator with an adjustable output voltage, built around a 750 mA internal switch. It accepts an input from 1.5 V up to 5.5 V, making it suitable for single-cell alkaline, NiMH, or Li-ion battery-powered designs. The output can be set from a 2 V minimum up to 5.5 V via external feedback resistors. Synchronous rectification is integrated, so no external Schottky diode is needed for the boost path — that saves a component and a bit of board area.
Without a proper via stitch under the pad, the junction temperature will climb quickly at high output.
