Shutdown Mode
Quiescent Current
When SHDN is high, the MAX1649/MAX1651 enter shut-
down mode. In this mode, the internal biasing circuitry is
turned off (including the reference) and the supply cur-
rent drops to less than 5µA. EXT goes high, turning off the
external MOSFET. SHDN is a logic-level input. Connect
SHDN to GND for normal operation.
In normal operation, the device's typical quiescent cur-
rent is 78µA. In an actual application, even with no load,
additional current is drawn to supply external feedback
resistors (if used) and the diode and capacitor leakage
currents. In the circuit of Figure 1, with V+ at 5V and
V
at 3.3V, typical no-load supply current for the
OUT
entire circuit is 90µA.
