NAME
FUNCTION
FB
(MAX8570/ Feedback for setting the output voltage. Connect FB to the center of a resistor voltage-divider from the
MAX8571/ output to GND to set positive output voltages.
MAX8574)
1
OUT
(MAX8572/ Output. The output voltage is preset to 15V. Connect a 1µF ceramic capacitor from OUT to GND. In
MAX8573/ shutdown, OUT is pulled to GND by an internal 7.5MΩ resistor.
MAX8575)
2
GND Ground
3
SHDN
Shutdown Input. A logic low at SHDN places the part in low-power shutdown mode. Pull SHDN high or
connect to VCC for normal operation.
4
LX
Inductor Switching Connection
Isolation Switch Output. Internally connected to the drain of a p-channel MOSFET used to isolate the
5
SW
output from the input during shutdown. Connect a 4.7µF ceramic capacitor from SW to GND. If true
shutdown is not required, SW can be left open with the input supply connected directly to the inductor.
6
VCC
Input Voltage Supply. Connect a 2.7V to 5.5V input supply to VCC. Connect a 1µF ceramic capacitor from
VCC to GND.
