SAN JOSE, Calif. and NUREMBERG, Germany, March 13,
2017 /PRNewswire/ -- With the industry's highest efficiency
and lowest quiescent current (IQ) of only 300nA, the
MAX17222 nanoPower boost regulator from Maxim Integrated
Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: MXIM) enables the longest battery life in
the smallest form factor for wearable and consumer IoT designs. The
0.4V to 5.5V input, 1.8V to 5V output boost regulator with 500mA
input current limit reduces solution size by up to 50% compared to
similar products and offers 95% peak efficiency to minimize heat
dissipation. These benefits are ideal for wearable devices which
IDC forecasts will experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR)
of 18.4% in 2020.1

Designers of new wearable, health-monitoring, internet of things
(IoT), mobile, and other connected devices are struggling to extend
battery life for next-generation products, particularly with
increasing functionality and performance in smaller form factors.
Power solutions servicing this market require mastery of low
quiescent current design techniques and high integration.
Maxim's MAX17222 not only delivers the lowest quiescent current,
but also minimizes heat dissipation and shutdown current. In True
Shutdown™ mode, the minuscule current draw of 0.5nA virtually stops
battery drain to provide the longest battery life and eliminate the
need for external disconnect switches. Dramatically reducing
solution size compared to other similar products, the MAX17222 is
internally compensated and requires only a single configuration
resistor and small output filter for a full power solution. For
ease of use, the boost regulator comes in tiny, density-optimized
0.88mm x 1.4mm 6-Bump WLP and 2mm x 2mm 6-Pin standard µDFN
packages. It operates over the -40-degree Celsius to +85-degree
Celsius temperature range.
Key Advantages:
- Longest battery life: Battery drain is significantly
reduced during standby and shutdown modes to maximize operating
time; 0.4V input (with 0.88V startup input) is compatible with low
voltage batteries and supercapacitors
- Smallest solution size: Highly integrated boost
solution resulting in up to 50% space savings over similar
products
- Highest efficiency: 95% peak efficiency minimizes heat
dissipation during active operation
Commentary
- "Low quiescent current, combined with True Shutdown and high
efficiency, helps our customers deliver smart, connected products
while meeting demands for high uptime per charge," said
Meng He, Executive Business Manager,
Maxim Integrated.
