_______________General Description
The MAX887 high-efficiency, step-down DC-DC con-
verter provides an adjustable output from 1.25V to
10.5V. It accepts inputs from 3.5V to 11V and delivers
600mA. Operation to 100% duty cycle minimizes
dropout voltage (300mV typ at 500mA). Synchronous
rectification reduces output rectifier losses, resulting in
efficiency as high as 95%.
Fixed-frequency pulse-width modulation (PWM)
reduces noise in sensitive communications applica-
tions. Using a high-frequency internal oscillator allows
tiny surface-mount components to reduce PC board
area, and eliminates audio-frequency interference. A
SYNC input allows synchronization to an external clock
to avoid interference with sensitive RF and data-
acquisition circuits.
The MAX887 features current-mode operation for supe-
rior load/line-transient response. Cycle-by-cycle current
limiting protects the internal MOSFET and rectifier. A
low-current (2.5µA typ) shutdown mode conserves bat-
tery life.
