General Description

The MAX17227A is a nanoPower boost converter capable

of delivering load up to 2A peak inductor current and offering

True Shutdown™, cycle-by-cycle inductor current limit,

short-circuit, and thermal protection. During shutdown,

current drawn from the input pin is 1nA. The MAX17227A

offers ultra-low quiescent current, small total solution size,

and high efficiency throughout the load and line range.

The MAX17227A is ideal for battery-powered applications

where long battery life is a must and high efficiency is required

at all power levels.

The MAX17227A utilizes adjustable on-time, pulse-frequency-

modulation (PFM) control scheme that consumes

ultra-low quiescent current. The MAX17227A features

True Shutdown mode where the output disconnects from

the input with no forward or reverse-current. This saves

precious energy from the battery for systems that dynamically

turn on and off by having the ability to startup into a

precharged output capacitor.

The MAX17227A is offered in a space-saving and costeffective

1.58mm x 0.89mm, 6-bump WLP (3 x 2, 0.4mm

pitch) and 8-pin, 2mm x 2mm TDFN packages. The operating

temperature range is from -40°C to +125°C.
