rent.

Note 2: Load regulation is measured by forcing specified switch current and straight-line calculation of change in output voltage in

Note 3: Until undervoltage lockout is reached, the device remains in startup mode. Do not apply full load until this voltage is

reached.

Note 4: Startup is tested with Figure 1’s circuit. Output current is measured when both the input and output voltages are applied.

Note 5: Minimum operating voltage. The MAX1708 is bootstrapped and will operate down to a 0.7V input once started.

Note 6: Supply current is measured from the output voltage (+3.3V) to the OUT pin. This correlates directly with actual input supply

current but is reduced in value according to the step-up ratio and efficiency.

Note 7: ONA and ONB inputs have approximately 0.15V hysteresis.

Note 8: Guaranteed by design, not production tested.

Note 9: Specifications to -40°C are guaranteed by design, not production tested.
