Datasheet

General Description
The MAX1534 is a high-efficiency, triple-output power
supply for keep-alive (always on) voltage rails. The
500mA buck regulator with an internal current-limited
0.5 PMOS steps down the battery or wall adapter
supply rail to a fixed 5V or an adjustable output voltage.
Two integrated low-voltage linear regulators follow this
output and provide two independent preset output volt-
ages of 3.3V and 1.8V, or adjustable output voltages.
The buck regulator utilizes a peak current-limit, pulse-
frequency modulation (PFM) architecture for highest
light-load efficiency to conserve battery life. High
switching frequencies (up to 200kHz) allow the use of
tiny surface-mount inductors and output capacitors.
Operation to 100% duty cycle minimizes dropout volt-
age (250mV at 500mA).
The low-dropout linear regulators use an internal
P-channel metal-oxide (PMOS) pass transistor to mini-
mize supply current and deliver up to 160mA each of
continuous current.
The MAX1534 includes a power-OK (POK) signal that
indicates all outputs are in regulation. The 4% accurate
threshold of the SHDN input permits its use as a low-
battery detector.
The MAX1534 is available in a small 16-pin thin QFN
(4mm 4mm) package, occupying 33% less board
space than discrete solutions.
