Description and Introduction

5V/-12V/-15V or Adjustable / High-Efficiency / Low IQ DC-DC Inverters The MAX766EPA is a step-up DC-DC converter manufactured by Maxim Integrated (now part of Analog Devices). Below are its specifications, descriptions, and features based on Ic-phoenix technical data files:  

### **Specifications:**  
- **Manufacturer:** Maxim Integrated  
- **Type:** Step-Up DC-DC Converter (Switching Regulator)  
- **Input Voltage Range:** 1.8V to 16.5V  
- **Output Voltage:** Adjustable (up to 28V)  
- **Output Current:** Up to 300mA (depending on input/output conditions)  
- **Switching Frequency:** 300kHz  
- **Efficiency:** Up to 90%  
- **Package:** 8-Pin PDIP (Plastic Dual In-Line Package)  
- **Operating Temperature Range:** -40°C to +85°C  
- **Shutdown Current:** 1µA (typical)  

### **Descriptions:**  
The MAX766EPA is a high-efficiency, step-up DC-DC converter designed for low-power applications. It integrates a power MOSFET switch, allowing it to generate higher output voltages from a lower input voltage. It is commonly used in battery-powered devices, portable instruments, and other applications requiring efficient voltage conversion.  

### **Features:**  
- **Wide Input Voltage Range:** Operates from 1.8V to 16.5V.  
- **Adjustable Output Voltage:** Can be set using external resistors.  
- **Low Shutdown Current:** Consumes only 1µA in shutdown mode.  
- **Internal Power MOSFET:** Eliminates the need for an external switch.  
- **High Efficiency:** Up to 90% conversion efficiency.  
- **Current Limiting:** Protects against overload conditions.  
- **Thermal Shutdown:** Prevents damage from excessive heat.  

This information is based on the manufacturer's datasheet and specifications.

Application Scenarios & Design Considerations

5V/-12V/-15V or Adjustable / High-Efficiency / Low IQ DC-DC Inverters

Alternative Part Number

  • LT1073CN8 --: Pin-compatible inverting switching regulator with similar input voltage range and output current capability, widely used as a MAX766 substitute.
  • MC34063AP --: Versatile inverting/step-down/step-up DC-DC converter IC in DIP-8, functionally similar and commonly used as a lower-cost alternative.
  • LM2575T-ADJ --: Adjustable step-down/inverting regulator in TO-220, suitable when higher current and different package are acceptable.
  • LT1170CT --: High-efficiency inverting switching regulator with comparable input voltage range and current capability, widely used as a drop-in functional substitute for the MAX766 in negative-output applications.
  • LM2576-ADJ --: Adjustable buck regulator that can be wired in an inverting configuration to produce negative output; robust, well-documented, and available in DIP package for easy prototyping replacement.
