Typical Operating Circuit
19-2107; Rev 1; 8/02
General Description
The MAX1595 charge-pump regulator generates either
3.3V or 5V from a 1.8V to 5.5V input. The unique control
architecture allows the regulator to step up or step
down the input voltage to maintain output regulation.
The 1MHz switching frequency, combined with a
unique control scheme, allows the use of a ceramic
capacitor as small as 1µF for 125mA of output current.
The complete regulator requires three external capaci-
tors—no inductor is needed. The MAX1595 is specifi-
cally designed to serve as a high-power, high-
efficiency auxiliary supply in applications that demand
a compact design. The MAX1595 is offered in space-
saving 8-pin µMAX and high-power 12-pin thin QFN
packages.

Detailed Description
The MAX1595 charge pump provides either a 3.3V or 5V
regulated output. It delivers a maximum 125mA load cur-
rent. In addition, to boost regulating from a lower supply,
it is also capable of buck regulating from supplies that
exceed the regulated output by a diode drop or more.
Designed specifically for compact applications, a com-
plete regulator circuit requires only three small external
capacitors. An innovative control scheme provides con-
stant frequency operation from medium to heavy loads,
while smoothly transitioning to low-power mode at light
loads to maintain optimum efficiency. In buck mode,
switch S1 (in Figure 1) is switched continuously to IN,
while switch S2 alternates between IN and OUT. An
amount of charge proportional to the difference between
the output voltage and the supply voltage is stored on
CX, which gets transferred to the output when the regula-
tion point is reached. Maximum output ripple is propor-
tional to the difference between the supply voltage and
the output voltage, as well as to the ratio of the transfer
capacitor (CX) to the output capacitor (COUT).
The MAX1595 consists of an error amplifier, a 1.23V
bandgap reference, internal resistive feedback network,
oscillator, high-current MOSFET switches, and shutdown
and control logic. Figure 1 shows an idealized unregulat-
ed charge-pump voltage doubler. The oscillator runs at a
50% duty cycle. During one half of the period, the trans-
fer capacitor (CX) charges to the input voltage. During
the other half, the doubler transfers the sum of CXand
input voltage to the output filter capacitor (COUT). Rather
than doubling the input voltage, the MAX1595 provides a
regulated output voltage of either 3.3V or 5.0V.
Shutdown
Driving SHDN low places the device in shutdown mode.
The device draws 0.1µA of supply current in this mode.
When driven high, the MAX1595 enters a soft-start
mode. Soft-start mode terminates when the output volt-
age regulates, or after 2ms, whichever comes first. In
shutdown, the output disconnects from the input.
Undervoltage Lockout
The MAX1595 has an undervoltage-lockout that deacti-
vates the devices when the input voltage falls below 1.6V.
Below UVLO, hysteresis holds the device in shutdown
until the input voltage rises 40mV above the lockout
threshold.

exceeds the available battery voltage, the use of a
charge pump such as the MAX1595 provides high effi-
ciency, small size, and constant light output with chang-
ing battery voltages. If the output is used only to light
LEDs, the output capacitor can be greatly reduced. The
frequency modulation of the LED intensity is not dis-
cernible to the human eye, and the smaller capacitor
saves both size and cost.
Adding two Schottky diodes and two capacitors imple-
ments a tripler and allows the MAX1595_ _ _50 to regu-
late a current of 75mA with a supply voltage as low as
2.3V (Figure 3).
Capacitor Selection
The MAX1595 requires only three external capacitors
(Figure 4). Their values are closely linked to the output
current capacity, oscillator frequency, output noise con-
tent, and mode of operation.
Generally, the transfer capacitor (CX) will be the smallest,
and the input capacitor (CIN) is twice as large as CX.
Higher switching frequencies allow the use of the smaller
CXand CIN. The output capacitor (COUT) can be any-
where from 5-times to 50-times larger than CX. Table 1
shows recommended capacitor values.
In addition, the following equation approximates output
ripple:
VRIPPLE ≅IOUT / (2 x fOSC x COUT)
Table 2 lists the manufacturers of recommended capaci-
tors. Ceramic capacitors will provide the lowest ripple
due to their typically lower ESR.
Power Dissipation
The power dissipated in the MAX1595 depends on out-
put current and is accurately described by:
PDISS = IOUT (2VIN - VOUT)
PDISS must be less than that allowed by the package
rating.
Layout Considerations
All capacitors should be soldered in close proximity to
the IC. Connect ground and power ground through a
short, low-impedance trace. The input supply trace
should be as short as possible. Otherwise, an additional
input supply filter capacitor (tantalum or electrolytic) may
be required.
