General Description
The MAX5096/MAX5097 easy-to-use, Dual Mode™,
DC-DC converters operate as LDO (low dropout) or
switch-mode buck converters. At a high output load,
the converters operate as high-efficiency pulse-width
modulated (PWM) switch-mode converters and reduce
the power dissipation. The devices switch to a low-
quiescent-current (I
Q
) LDO mode of operation at light
load. During the key-off condition, the system’s microcon-
troller drives the LDO/BUCK input on the fly and forces
the MAX5096/MAX5097 into LDO mode, thereby reduc-
ing the quiescent current significantly.
In Buck mode, the MAX5096/MAX5097 operate from a
5Vto 40V input voltage range and deliver up to 600mA
of load current with excellent load and line regulation.
The fixed-switching frequency versions of 135kHz and
330kHz are available. The MAX5096/MAX5097 DC-DC
internal oscillator can be synchronized to an external
clock. External compensation and a current-mode control
scheme make it easy to design with.
In LDO mode, the MAX5096/MAX5097 operate from a 4V
to 40V input voltage. The LDO mode operation is intended
for a lower output load current of up to 100mA. The quies-
cent current at 100μA load in LDO mode is only 41μA (typ).
The MAX5096/MAX5097 feature an enable input that
shuts down the device, reducing the current consump-
tion to 6μA (typ). Additional features include a power-on-
reset output with a capacitor-adjustable timeout period,
programmable soft-start, output tracking, output overload,
short-circuit, and thermal-shutdown protections.
The MAX5096/MAX5097 operate over the -40°C to +125°C
automotive temperature range and are available in ther-
mally enhanced 20-pin TSSOP or 16-pin TQFN packages.
