Maxim MAX722/MAX723 Datasheet
The MAX722 and MAX723 are CMOS switch‑mode power‑supply regulators designed for small, battery‑operated systems such as palmtop computers and portable data‑collection equipment. Each device delivers a selectable main output (3.3 V or 5 V) and a negative auxiliary output adjustable for LCD contrast, with high efficiency and low quiescent current.
The datasheet details electrical characteristics, pin functions, typical operating curves, and design equations for both the main and auxiliary regulators. It also includes ordering information, package dimensions, and application notes for implementing the ICs in portable devices.
