Datasheet
Note that this circuit (with or without the MAX8212) can be
used to provide 5V from four alkaline cells. The initial volt-
age is approximately 6V, and the output is maintained at
5V even when the battery voltage falls to less than 2V.
Dual-Tracking Regulator
A MAX634 inverting regulator is combined with a
MAX630 in Figure 8 to provide a dual-tracking ±15V
output from a 9V battery. The reference for the -15V
output is derived from the positive output through R3
and R4. Both regulators are set to maximize output
power at low-battery voltage by reducing the oscillator
frequency, through LBR, when V
BATT
falls to 7.2V.
