MAX8575EUT

Overview

The MAX8575EUT is a high-efficiency LCD boost converter with true shutdown, manufactured by Analog Devices/Maxim Integrated. It operates from an input voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V and provides a single output of 15V. The device is housed in a SOT-23-6 package and supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. It integrates internal soft-start circuitry to limit inrush current during startup, preventing excessive stress on the battery or supply.

Feature Summary

• Integrates internal soft-start circuitry to limit inrush current during startup
• Provides true shutdown functionality for power management
• Designed as a high-efficiency step-up DC-DC converter

Applications

• LCD voltage conversion
• Portable electronic devices
• Battery-powered applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., +T) against official datasheets to confirm tape-and-reel packaging and exact electrical tolerances. Ensure the component matches the required SOT-23-6 footprint and thermal characteristics for your design. Cross-reference manufacturer part numbers to avoid confusion with similar boost converters.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, high-efficiency boost solution is needed for LCD bias generation. Consider the 2.7V minimum input voltage for compatibility with single-cell lithium-ion batteries. Evaluate the 15V fixed output against display requirements. The integrated soft-start is critical for systems sensitive to initial load spikes.

Part Context

This part belongs to Maxim Integrated's portfolio of power management ICs, specifically focusing on portable application solutions. It complements other low-power regulators and converters designed for space-constrained mobile devices. The series emphasizes efficiency and integration to extend battery life in consumer electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Consult official distributor databases for direct cross-references. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications before substituting with alternative boost converters.
