Datasheet
General Description
The MAX5090A/B/C easy-to-use, high-efficiency, high-
voltage step-down DC-DC converters operate from an input
voltage up to 76V, and consume only 310µA quiescent
current at no load. This pulse-width-modulated (PWM)
converter operates at a fixed 127kHz switching frequency at
heavy loads, and automatically switches to pulse-skipping
mode to provide low quiescent current and high efficiency
at light loads. The MAX5090 includes internal frequency
compensation simplifying circuit implementation. The
device can also be synchronized with external system clock
frequency in a noise-sensitive application. The MAX5090
uses an internal low on-resistance and a high-voltage DMOS
transistor to obtain high efficiency and reduce overall system
cost. This device includes undervoltage lockout, cycle-
by-cycle current limit, hiccup-mode output short-circuit
protection, and overtemperature shutdown.
The MAX5090 delivers up to 2A output current. External
shutdown is included, featuring 19µA (typ) shutdown
current. The MAX5090A/MAX5090B versions have fixed
output voltages of 3.3V and 5V, respectively, while the
MAX5090C features an adjustable 1.265V to 11V output
voltage.
The MAX5090 is available in a space-saving 16-pin
thin QFN package (5mm x 5mm) and operates over the
automotive temperature range (-40°C to +125°C).
