General Description

The MAX777L/MAX778L/MAX779L are pulse-skipping DC-DC converters that step up from low-voltage inputs (1V guaranteed). They require only three external components—an inductor(typically 22μH) and two capacitors. The MAX777L delivers a 5V output, the MAX778L generates pin-selectable voltages of 3.0V or 3.3V, and the MAX779L output can be adjusted from 2.5V to 6V through an external resistive divider.
