Key Features
- Dual independent PFM step-up controller channels operating from 1.5 V to 11 V input for multi-rail battery-powered designs
- Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) voltage-mode control maximizing light-load efficiency in portable and handheld equipment
- Compact 16-pin QSOP-150 package integrating dual boost controllers to reduce BOM count and PCB area
Applications
The MAX863EEE+ is suited for portable consumer electronics, handheld test instruments, and battery-backed industrial modules requiring two independently regulated boost rails from a single lithium or alkaline cell stack. Its PFM control strategy minimizes quiescent current draw at light load, extending battery run time in devices such as GPS receivers, wireless sensors, and portable medical monitors. The 1.5 V minimum input allows direct boost conversion from a single alkaline or NiMH cell through to 11 V input sources.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the input voltage range of MAX863EEE+, and which battery types does it directly support?
MAX863EEE+ accepts inputs from 1.5 V to 11 V, covering single alkaline cells (1.5 V), single NiMH cells (1.2 V nominal at end-of-life), and lithium-ion packs up to 11 V. This wide range eliminates pre-regulation stages in most portable battery-powered designs.
Why does PFM control in MAX863EEE+ result in better light-load efficiency than PWM-based controllers?
Pulse Frequency Modulation fires gate pulses only as needed to maintain output regulation, so switching losses drop proportionally at light load, keeping efficiency above 80% even at load currents of a few milliamps. Fixed-frequency PWM controllers continue switching every cycle regardless of load, wasting energy in gate drive and switching transitions at the same low-current conditions.
How does MAX863EEE+ reduce BOM cost in a dual-rail boost design compared to using two single-channel controllers?
By integrating 2 independent boost controller channels into one 16-pin QSOP-150 package, MAX863EEE+ replaces two discrete single-channel ICs, cutting IC count by half and reducing associated passive component placement area. This typically saves several square millimeters of PCB space and lowers total BOM line items in cost-sensitive portable products.
