SHDN and EN determine the MAX218鈥檚 mode of opera-
tion, as shown in Table 2.
__________Applications Information
Operation from Regulated/Unregulated
Dual System Power Supplies
The MAX218 is intended for use with three different
power-supply sources: it can be powered directly from
a battery, from a 3.0V or 3.3V power supply, or simulta-
neously from both. Figure 1 shows the single-supply
configuration. Figure 2 shows the circuit for operation
from both a 3V supply and a raw battery supply鈥攁n
ideal configuration where a regulated 3V supply is
being derived from two cells. In this application, the
MAX218鈥檚 logic levels remain appropriate for interface
with 3V logic, yet most of the power for the MAX218 is
drawn directly from the battery, without suffering the
efficiency losses of the DC-DC converter. This pro-
longs battery life.
Bypass the input supplies with 0.1碌F at V
CC
(C4) and at
least 1碌F at the inductor (C5). Increase C5 to 4.7碌F if
the power supply has no other bypass capacitor con-
nected to it.
