_______________General Description
The MAX639/MAX640/MAX653 step-down switching
regulators provide high efficiency over a wide range of
load currents, delivering up to 225mA. A current-limiting
pulse-frequency-modulated (PFM) control scheme gives
the devices the benefits of pulse-width-modulated
(PWM) converters (high efficiency at heavy loads), while
using only 10µA of supply current (vs. 2mA to 10mA for
PWM converters). The result is high efficiency over a
wide range of loads.
The MAX639/MAX640/MAX653 input range is 4V to
11.5V, and the devices provide lower preset output volt-
ages of 5V, 3.3V, and 3V, respectively. Or, the output
can be user-adjusted to any voltage from 1.3V to the
input voltage.
The MAX639/MAX640/MAX653 have an internal 1A power
MOSFET switch, making them ideal for minimum-compo-
nent, low- and medium-power applications. For increased
output drive capability, use the MAX649/MAX651/MAX652
step-down controllers, which drive an external P-channel
FET to deliver up to 5W.
