Working Principles

The MAX1771CSA-T operates as a step-up DC-DC converter using a pulse-width modulation (PWM) control scheme. It utilizes an internal MOSFET switch to regulate the input voltage and generate a higher output voltage. The feedback pin (FB) is used to set the desired output voltage, which can be adjusted through external resistors. The soft-start feature gradually ramps up the output voltage during startup to prevent excessive inrush current. Overcurrent protection and thermal shutdown mechanisms ensure safe operation.
