MAX1692 Datasheet PDF - Maxim Integrated

Description

●The MAX1692 is a low-noise, pulse-width-modulated (PWM), DC-DC step-down converter. It powers logic and transmitters in small wireless systems such as cellular phones, communicating PDAs, and handy-terminals. The device features an internal synchronous rectifier for high efficiency; it requires no external Schottky diode. Excellent noise characteristics and fixed-frequency operation provide easy post-filtering. The MAX1692 is ideally suited for Li-Ion battery applications. It is also useful for +3V or +5V fixed input applications.

●The device operates in one of four modes. Forced PWM mode operates at a fixed frequency regardless of the load. Synchronizable PWM mode allows an external switching frequency to control and minimize harmonics. Idle Mode™ (PWM/PFM) extends battery life by switching to a PFM pulse-skipping mode during light loads. Shutdown mode places the device in standby, reducing quiescent supply current to under 0.1µA.

●The MAX1692 can deliver over 600mA. The output voltage can be adjusted from 1.25V to VIN with the input range of +2.7V to +5.5V. Other features of the MAX1692 include high efficiency, low dropout voltage, and a 1.2%-accurate 1.25V reference. It is available in a space-saving 10-pin µMAX package with a height of only 1.11mm.
