What this charge pump does and where it fits
The Analog Devices MAX864EEE+ is a ratiometric charge-pump IC that delivers two fixed output voltages from a single input rail. It generates -Vin and 2Vin.
Input range and output voltages — what they mean for your rail budget
The input accepts 1.75 V to 6 V. The outputs are fixed ratios of the input.
Switching frequency and external parts
At 185 kHz the switching is fixed, so no external timing resistor or capacitor is needed.
Package and mounting
The MAX864EEE+ is supplied in a 16-pin SSOP body (0.154" wide, 3.90 mm width) and also listed as 16-QSOP. It is surface-mount only, so no through-hole option exists. The part ships in a tube (not tape-and-reel), which is fine for prototyping or small production runs but may require a tube feeder or manual placement for larger volumes. The ROHS3 compliance means it is lead-free and compatible with standard reflow profiles.
Lifecycle and sourcing
The MAX864EEE+ is listed as Active with no end-of-life notice. It remains a valid choice for new designs and production builds. There is no LTB window to track, and no forced migration to a successor part.
