Features high efficiency, minimized heat dissipation, and ultra-low standby current
Extends battery life in wearable devices, IoT devices, and more

Mouser Electronics has announced that it supplies the MAX17222 nanopower DC-DC step-up (boost) converter from Maxim Integrated.

The MAX17222 features high efficiency, minimized heat dissipation, and ultra-low standby current characteristics. With these features, it can extend battery life in connected devices such as highly integrated wearable devices, health management devices, and IoT (Internet of Things) devices.

The MAX17222 nanopower DC-DC boost converter from Maxim, which Mouser Electronics will supply, operates at input voltages of 0.4~5.5V, output voltage of 1.8~5.0V, and standby current at a minimum of 300nA, which is an extremely low level.

In True Shutdown™ mode, current consumption is only 0.5nA, preventing battery depletion and extending battery life. No external disconnect switch is required. With maximum input current limited to 500mA, flexible design can be achieved when selecting inductor types. The post-startup ETP (Enable Transient Protection) feature controls the output relative to input voltage to a minimum level of 400mV depending on load current.



The Maxim MAX17222 evaluation kit, which Mouser Electronics maintains in stock, includes two independent circuits that allow evaluation of both MAX17222 and MAX17225 converters. Each circuit provides output voltage of 1.8~5V with configurable resistors (100mV per conversion step). The circuit also delivers up to 100mA, 225mA, or 425mA per circuit output depending on the input-output voltage ratio.

Mouser Electronics continuously maintains its website Mouser.com through regular updates and has implemented detailed search methods to enable customers to quickly search inventory. Additionally, Mouser.com provides datasheets, manufacturer reference designs, application notes, technical design information, and engineering tools.
