Additional Details

The MAX77231 is optimized for boost applications, requiring very low ripple/noise and small PCB space. Output ripple and noise are suppressed to 35µV_RMS (in 1MHz BW) by a PMOS linear post-regulator set 0.5V below the boost regulator output to reject noise while optimizing efficiency.

The boost regulator operates using a 1µH/400mA inductor and 2.2µF (0.22 (min) after derating) output capacitance. Fast transient response and stable operation are guaranteed using a current-limited PFM architecture.

A PMOS low-noise linear post-regulator attenuates boost converter ripple by ～50dB (10MHz BW) before delivering 11.2V to the load. Other output voltages up to 16.2V can be factory set. The LDO also disconnects the load from the boost during shutdown, allowing the output to fall to 0V (true shutdown). Active discharge can also be activated.

The MAX77231 is packaged in a 9-bump wafer-level package (WLP), providing a compact layout when combined with the inductor and external capacitors. Total solution size is less than 7mm².

Product Detail

The MAX77231 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested PCB for evaluating the MAX77231 low-noise step-up DC-DC converter. It is optimized for boost applications requiring very low ripple/noise and small PCB space. The EV kit is set up to provide an 11.2V output from an input voltage ranging from 2.7V to 4.8V, and can deliver up to 10mA of current. The output ripple and noise are suppressed to 35µV_RMS. Other output voltages up to 16.2V can be factory set. Jumpers are provided to help evaluate features of the MAX77231 IC.
