The total output voltage ripple has two components: the
capacitive ripple caused by the charging and discharg-
ing of the output capacitance, and the ohmic ripple due
to the capacitor’s equivalent series resistance (ESR).

Typical Applications Circuit (Figure 1) because of the
high source impedance seen in typical lab setups.
Actual applications usually have much lower source
impedance since the step-up regulator often runs
directly from the output of another regulated supply.

The MAX1516/MAX1517/MAX1518s’ high switching fre-
quency demands a high-speed rectifier. Schottky
diodes are recommended for most applications
because of their fast recovery time and low forward
voltage. In general, a 2A Schottky diode complements
the internal MOSFET well.
The output voltage of the main step-up regulator can be
adjusted by connecting a resistive voltage-divider from
the output (V
ed to FB (see Figure 1). Select R2 in the 10kΩ to 50kΩ
range. Calculate R1 with the following equation:

The maximum output voltage of the step-up regulator is
13V, which is limited by the absolute maximum rating of
the internal power MOSFET. To achieve higher output
voltages, an external n-channel MOSFET can be cascod-
ed with the internal FET (Figure 8). Since the gate of the
external FET is biased from the input supply, use a logic-
level FET to ensure that the FET is fully enhanced at the
minimum input voltage. The current rating of the FET
needs to be higher than the IC’s internal current limit.

the integrator zero to maintain loop stability.
For low-ESR output capacitors, use the following equa-
tions to obtain stable performance and good transient
response:

For highest efficiency, always choose the lowest num-
ber of charge-pump stages that meet the output
requirement. Figures 9 and 10 show the positive and
