ADIMAX17222ELT+T
Overview
The MAX17222ELT+T is an ultra-low quiescent current synchronous boost converter designed for high-efficiency power delivery in battery-operated devices. It features an incredibly low 300nA typical IQ and operates from an input voltage as low as 0.4V, making it ideal for systems running on a single alkaline, NiMH, or Li-ion cell. The device provides a 500mA peak switch current and uses a single external resistor to set the output voltage from 1.8V to 5V.
Why Choose This Part
The primary advantage is the ultra-low 300nA quiescent current, which significantly reduces standby power drain. It integrates a True Shutdown mode that disconnects the output from the input to prevent reverse current, and its 0.4V minimum startup voltage enables deep battery discharge or operation from low-voltage energy harvesting sources.

Key Specifications
Getting Started
Evaluation can be performed using the MAX17222EVKIT, which allows for testing various output configurations and efficiency measurements. Designers need only a single 1% resistor to set the desired output voltage and a few ceramic capacitors for a complete power solution.
