Smallest Dual-Output (+ and -) DC-DC Converter for CCD and OLED Applications Is Extremely Flexible and Easy to Design-In
SUNNYVALE, CA-April 25, 2006-Maxim Integrated Products (NASDAQ: MXIM)
introduces the MAX8614, the industry's smallest dual-output step-up
DC-DC converter to generate voltage outputs up to +24V positive and
-10V negative with 100mA output current. The MAX8614 output is
adjustable with external resistors for applications in digital still
cameras (DSC), cell phone cameras, and OLED display power.
Several integrated capabilities make this part especially flexible
and easy to design-in. The MAX8614's controlled in-rush current saves
battery life, and the pin-selectable CCD power-up sequencing
eliminates external timing circuits.
The MAX8614 comes in a small 3mm x 3mm, 14-pin TDFN package, 43%
smaller than the competition's 4mm x 4mm solution. Other MAX8614
competitive advantages include True Shutdown™ without an external
FET and internal compensation capacitors. The device operates with
4.7 microfarad output capacitors, compared to the competition's 22
microfarads. High-efficiency, high-voltage internal n-FET and p-FET
transistors, coupled with 1MHz fixed-frequency PWM operation, provide
a low-noise solution that saves battery life and space. These many
advantages make the MAX8614 the smallest and most cost-effective
DC-DC converter solution in the market.
The MAX8614 is screened for the extended industrial temperature
range (-40° Celsius to +85° Celsius). Prices start at
$2.00 (1000-up, FOB USA). An evaluation kit is available to speed
designs and time to market.
