_______________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 volt­ages 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-compo­nent, 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.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
