MAXIM INTEGRATED / ANALOG DEVICES MAX856CSA Step-up Converter

The MAX856 is a high-efficiency, CMOS step-up DC-DC converter designed for portable and low-voltage applications. It accepts an input voltage from 0.8V to 6.0V and can output a fixed 3.3V or 5V or be adjusted for other voltages using external resistors. Featuring internal MOSFET switches, low quiescent current, and switching frequencies up to 500kHz, it delivers over 85% efficiency at 100mA load. Its compact SO and CERDIP packages and low external component requirements make it ideal for battery-powered devices such as palmtop computers, data loggers, and medical instruments, maximizing battery life and minimizing power consumption.
