The MAX17250 DC-DC boost converter is a high-efficiency, low quiescent current, synchronous boost (step-up) converter with True Shutdown™, programmable input current limit, and short-circuit protection. The MAX17250 has a wide input voltage range of 2.7V to 18V and generates an output voltage of 3V to 18V. The MAX17250 has a maximum on-time of 800ns and implements three modes of operation. The first mode of operation is a soft-start mode at power-up. The second mode of operation is normal operation and utilizes a fixed on-time/minimum off-time Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) architecture that uses only 60µA (typ) quiescent current due to the converter switching only when needed. The last mode is True Shutdown, where the output is completely disconnected from the input, and the battery drain is minimized to 0.1µA (typ) shutdown current. The MAX17250 is available in a compact, 12-bump, 1.72mm x 1.49mm wafer-level package (WLP) or a 14-pin, 3mm x 3mm TDFN package.Applications1 or 2 Cell Li-ion Battery ApplicationsBattery Powered Internet of Things (IoT) DeviceBuzzer/Alarm DriverDigital CamerasDisplay Supply

The MAX17263 is an ultra-low power fuel gauge which implements Maxim ModelGauge™ m5 EZ algorithm. The MAX17263 monitors either a single cell battery pack or multiple-series cell battery pack with an external resistor divider. The IC drives 3 to 12 automatically-counted LEDs to indicate battery state-of-charge on a push-button press, or any other system status using I2C commands.ModelGauge m5 EZ makes fuel gauge implementation easy by eliminating battery characterization requirements and simplifying host software interaction. The ModelGauge m5 EZ robust algorithm provides tolerance against battery diversity for most lithium batteries and applications.The algorithm combines the short-term accuracy and linearity of a coulomb counter with the long-term stability of a voltage-based fuel gauge, along with temperature compensation to provide industry-leading fuel-gauge accuracy. The IC automatically compensates for cell-aging, temperature, and discharge rate, and provides accurate state-of-charge (SOC) in percentage (%) and remaining capacity in milliampere-hours (mAh) over a wide range of operating conditions. As the battery approaches the critical region near empty, the algorithm invokes a special correction mechanism that eliminates any error. The IC provides accurate estimation of time-to-empty and time-to-full and provides three methods for reporting the age of the battery: reduction in capacity, increase in battery resistance, and cycle odometer.The IC provides precision measurements of current, voltage, and temperature. The temperature of the battery pack is measured using an internal temperature sensor or external thermistor. A 2-wire I2C interface provides access to data and control registers. The IC is available in a 3mm x 3mm 14-pin TDFN package.ApplicationsBattery BackupDronesE-BikesHeadlamps and TorchesHome and Building Automation, SensorsMedical DevicesPower ToolsToysWireless Speakers
