Stresses beyond those listed under "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

The MAX1730 regulated step-down charge pump generates up to 50mA at fixed output voltages of 1.8V or 1.9V from an input voltage in the 2.7V to 5.5V range. Specifically designed to provide high-efficiency logic supplies in applications that demand a compact design, the MAX1730 employs fractional conversion techniques to provide efficiency exceeding that of a linear regulator.

The MAX1730 operates at up to 2MHz, permitting the use of small 0.22F flying capacitors while maintaining low 75A quiescent supply current. Proprietary softstart circuitry prevents excessive current from being drawn from the supply during startup, making the MAX1730 compatible with higher impedance sources such as alkaline and lithium-ion cells.

The MAX1730 is available in a space-saving 10-pin MAX package that is only 1.09mm high and occupies one-half the area of an 8-pin SO.
