General Description

The MAX877/MAX878/MAX879 are pulse-skipping, stepup/step-down DC-DC converters that provide a regulated output from inputs both above and below the output.

They require only three external components—an inductor (typically 22µH) and two filter capacitors.

The MAX877 delivers a regulated 5V output from 2.5V to 6.2V inputs.
