Maxim introduces the MAX17222nanoPower boost

Maxim's MAX17222nanoPower boost (boost regulator) delivers the industry's highest efficiency and 300nA minimum quiescent current (IQ), helping wearable and consumer IoT designs achieve maximum battery life in the smallest area. The MAX17222 is a boost regulator with an input voltage range of 0.4V-5.5V, an output voltage range of 1.8V-5V, and an input current limit of 500mA. It can reduce the solution area by up to 50% compared to similar products, while providing 95% The peak efficiency of the heat is minimized. The MAX17222 is ideal for a wide range of wearable devices and is expected to achieve an 18.4% annual growth rate (CAGR) by 2020, according to IDC.

A new generation of wearables, health monitoring, Internet of Things (IoT), mobile phones and other connected devices need to achieve more powerful functions and performance in a smaller size. How to achieve longer battery life is a problem that designers are trying to solve. This market provides power solutions that require low quiescent current design and high integration integration.

Maxim's new MAX17222 products not only achieve the lowest quiescent current, but also minimize heat and shutdown current. With a current consumption of only 0.5nA in True ShutdownTM mode, it virtually eliminates any battery drain, providing the longest battery life and eliminating the need for an external power switch, significantly reducing the solution area compared to similar products. In addition, the MAX17222 features internal compensation with a single configuration resistor and a small output filter that supports full power output. For ease of use, the boost is available in a tiny high-density 6-bump WLP package (0.88mm x 1.4mm) and a 6-pin standard uDFN package (2mm x 2mm) with an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
