Datasheet

General Description
The MAX15032 constant-frequency, pulse-width-modu-
lating (PWM), low-noise boost converter is intended for
low-voltage systems that need a locally generated high
voltage. This device is capable of generating low-noise,
high output voltages, with an output power capability
up to 600mW with a 2.9V input voltage. This device can
be used for a wide variety of applications, such as PIN
or varactor diode biasing and LCD displays. The
MAX15032 operates from +2.7V to +11V.
The constant-frequency (500kHz), current-mode PWM
architecture provides low-noise output voltage that is
easy to filter. A high-voltage internal lateral DMOS
power switch allows this device to boost output volt-
ages up to 36V. The MAX15032 features a shutdown
mode to save power.
The MAX15032 is available in a small thermally
enhanced 3mm x 3mm 8-pin TDFN package and is
specified for operation over the -40°C to +125°C auto-
motive temperature range.
