Damping LX ringing does not reduce VOUT ripple, but does reduce EMI (Figure 3, Figure 4, and Figure 5).
Setting the Output Voltage
BATT VOUT can be set to 3.3V or 5.0V by connecting the FB R1 22µH 200Ω pin to GND (5V) or OUT (3.3V). To adjust the output

Low-Battery Detection
The MAX1795/MAX1796/MAX1797 each contain an on- chip comparator for low-battery detection. If the voltage at LBI is above 0.85V, LBO (an open-drain output) sinks current to GND. If the voltage at LBI is below 0.85V, LBO goes high impedance. The LBI/LBO function remains active even when the part is in shutdown. VLX 1V/div Connect a resistive voltage-divider to LBI from BATT to GND. The low-battery monitor threshold is set by two resistors, R3 and R4 (Figure 6). Since the LBI bias current is typically 2nA, large resistor values (R4 up to 250kΩ) can be used to minimize loading of the input supply. 2µs/div Calculate R3 using the following equation: R3 = R4[(VTRIP/0.85V) - 1] Figure 5.
