reduces peak currents drawn from the input source
and reduces input switching noise. The input voltage
source impedance determines the size required for the
input capacitor. When operating directly from one or
two NiCd cells placed close to the MAX1705/MAX1706,
use a 22µF, low-ESR input filter capacitor. When
operating from a power source placed farther away, or
from higher impedance batteries, consider using one or
two 100µF, 100mΩ, low-ESR tantalum capacitors.
Low-ESR capacitors are recommended. Capacitor ESR
is a major contributor to output ripple—often more than
70%.
Ceramic, Sanyo OS-CON, and Panasonic SP/CB-series
capacitors offer the lowest ESR. Low-ESR tantalum
capacitors are second best and generally offer a good
trade-off between price and performance. Do not
exceed the ripple-current ratings of tantalum capaci-
tors. Avoid aluminum-electrolytic capacitors, since their
ESR is too high.
Several ceramic bypass capacitors are required for
proper operation of the MAX1705/MAX1706. Bypass
REF with a 0.33µF capacitor to GND. Connect a 0.1µF
ceramic capacitor from OUT to GND and a 0.33µF
ceramic capacitor from POUT to PGND. Place a 22µF,
low-ESR capacitor and an optional 0.33µF ceramic
capacitor from the linear-regulator output LDO to GND.
An optional 22pF ceramic capacitor can be added to
the linear-regulator feedback network to reduce noise
(C2, Figure 2). Place each of these as close to their
respective pins as possible, within 0.2in. (5mm) of the
DC-DC converter IC. High-value, low-voltage, surface-
mount ceramic capacitors are now readily available in
small packages; see Table 4 for suggested suppliers.
High switching frequencies and large peak currents
make PC board layout an important part of design.
Poor design can cause excessive EMI and ground-
bounce, both of which can cause instability or
regulation errors by corrupting voltage- and current-
feedback signals. It is highly recommended that the PC
board example of the MAX1705 evaluation kit (EV kit)
be followed.
Power components—such as the inductor, converter
IC, filter capacitors, and output diode—should be
placed as close together as possible, and their traces
should be kept short, direct, and wide. Place the LDO
output capacitor as close to the LDO pin as possible.

Adding Bypass Capacitors
Designing a PC Board
short. Keep the extra copper on the board, and inte-
grate it into ground as a pseudo-ground plane.
On multilayer boards, do not connect the ground pins
of the power components using vias through an internal
ground plane. Instead, place them close together and
route them in a star-ground configuration using compo-
nent-side copper. Then connect the star ground to the
internal ground plane using vias.
Keep the voltage-feedback networks very close to the
MAX1705/MAX1706—within 0.2in. (5mm) of the FB and
FBLDO pins. Keep noisy traces, such as from the LX
pin, away from the reference and voltage-feedback net-
works, especially the LDO feedback, and separated
from them using grounded copper. Consult the
MAX1705/MAX1706 EV kit for a full PC board example.
The MAX1705/MAX1706 are ideal for use in digital cord-
less and PCS phones. The power amplifier (PA) is con-
nected directly to the step-up converter output for
maximum voltage swing (Figure 10). The internal linear
regulator is used for postregulation to generate low-
noise power for DSP, control, and RF circuitry. Typically,
RF phones spend most of their life in standby mode and
short periods in transmit/receive mode. During standby,
maximize battery life by setting CLK/SEL = GND and
TRACK = OUT; this places the IC in PFM and track
modes (for lowest quiescent power consumption). In
transmit/receive mode, set TRACK = GND and CLK/SEL
= OUT to increase the PA supply voltage and initiate
high-power, low-noise PWM operation. Table 5 lists the
typical available output current when operating with
one or more NiCd/NiMH cells or one Li-Ion cell.
