Key Featrues

Fixed or Adjustable Output Voltage: The MAX850-MAX853 series offers both fixed -4.1V and adjustable -0.5V to -9V output options, providing flexibility in various applications such as GaAsFET biasing and negative regulated power supplies. This adaptability ensures optimal performance across different voltage requirements, enhancing efficiency and compatibility.
Low Output Voltage Ripple: With output voltage ripple as low as 1mVP-P (MAX853) and 2mVP-P (MAX850-MAX852), these charge pumps deliver stable and clean power. This low ripple is crucial for sensitive applications like wireless data loggers and personal communicators, where noise can significantly impact performance.
Wide Input Voltage Range: The 4.5V to 10V input voltage range allows the device to operate efficiently across a broad spectrum of input sources. This feature makes it suitable for battery-powered devices like cell phones and PDAs, ensuring consistent performance even as battery voltage fluctuates.
External Synchronizing Clock Input (MAX852): The ability to synchronize with an external clock (available in MAX852) enhances system integration and reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI). This feature is particularly beneficial in complex systems where multiple components need to operate in harmony, improving overall system reliability.
Logic-Level Shutdown Mode: The logic-level shutdown mode reduces current consumption to a maximum of 1µA over temperature, significantly extending battery life in portable devices. This low-power mode is ideal for applications like wireless data loggers and personal communicators, where power efficiency is critical.
