The MAX1709ESE+ is a 4A, high frequency, step-up DC to DC converter in 16 pin NSOIC package. This low noise DC to DC converter delivers up to 20W at a fixed (3.3V or 5V) or adjustable (2.5V to 5.5V) output, using an on-chip power MOSFET from +0.7V to +5V supply. Fixed frequency PWM operation ensures that the switching noise spectrum is constrained to 600KHz fundamental and its harmonics allowing easy postfiltering for noise reduction. External clock synchronization capability allows for even tighter noise spectrum control. Two control inputs (ONA, ONB (complementary)) allow simple push-on, push-off control through a single momentary pushbutton switch as well as conventional on/off logic control. It features programmable soft start and current limit for design flexibility and optimum performance with batteries. It is used in local 2.5V to 3.3V or 5V conversion, local 3.3V to 5V conversion, 3.6V or 5V RF PAs in communications handsets, routers, servers, workstations and card racks.
