Working Principles

The MAX1771EPA is a step-up DC-DC converter that converts a lower input voltage to a higher output voltage. It utilizes a switching regulator topology to achieve high efficiency. The input voltage is applied to the SW pin, and an inductor is connected to the LX pin. By controlling the switching of the internal MOSFET, energy is stored in the inductor during the ON state and released to the output during the OFF state.

The feedback voltage at the FB pin is compared to a reference voltage, and the duty cycle of the switching signal is adjusted accordingly to maintain the desired output voltage. The COMP pin provides compensation for stable operation. The SHDN pin allows the device to enter a low-power shutdown mode when not in use.
