General Description
The MAX5080/MAX5081 are 250kHz PWM step-down 
DC-DC converters with an on-chip, 0.3Ω high-side 
switch. The input voltage range is 4.5V to 40V for the 
MAX5080 and 7.5V to 40V for the MAX5081. The output 
is adjustable from 1.23V to 32V and can deliver up to 
1A of load current.
Both devices utilize a voltage-mode control scheme for 
good noise immunity in the high-voltage switching environment and offer external compensation allowing for 
maximum flexibility with a wide selection of inductor values and capacitor types. The switching frequency is 
internally fixed at 250kHz and can be synchronized to 
an external clock signal through the SYNC input. Light 
load efficiency is improved by automatically switching 
to a pulse-skip mode. 
All devices include programmable undervoltage lockout and soft-start. Protection features include cycle-bycycle current limit, hiccup-mode output short-circuit 
protection, and thermal shutdown. Both devices are 
available in a space-saving, high-power (2.7W), 16-pin 
TQFN package and are rated for operation over the 
-40°C to +125°C temperature range.

Detailed Description
The MAX5080/MAX5081 are voltage-mode buck converters with internal 0.3Ω power MOSFET switches. The 
MAX5080 has a wide input voltage range of 4.5V to 
40V. The MAX5081’s input voltage range is 7.5V to 40V. 
The internal low R
DS_ON
switch allows for up to 1A of 
output current. The 250kHz fixed switching frequency, 
external compensation, and voltage feed-forward simplify loop compensation design and allow for a variety 
of L and C filter components. Both devices offer an
automatic switchover to pulse-skipping (PFM) mode, 
providing low quiescent current and high efficiency at 
light loads. Under no load, a PFM mode operation 
reduces the current consumption to only 1.4mA. In 
shutdown, the supply current falls to 200µA. Additional 
features include an externally programmable undervoltage lockout through the ON/OFF pin, a programmable 
soft-start, cycle-by-cycle current limit, hiccup mode 
output short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown.
Error Amplifier Output. Connect COMP to the compensation feedback network.
22FB
Feedback Regulation Point. Connect to the center tap of a resistive divider from converter 
output to SGND to set the output voltage. The FB voltage regulates to the voltage present at SS 
(1.23V).
33
ON/OFF and External UVLO Control. The ON/OFF rising threshold is set to approximately 1.23V. 
Connect to the center tap of a resistive divider from IN to SGND to set the UVLO (rising) 
threshold. Pull ON/OFF to SGND to shut down the device. ON/OFF can be used for powersupply sequencing. Connect to IN for always-on operation.
44SS
Soft-Start and Reference Output. Connect a capacitor from SS to SGND to set the soft-start 
time. See the Applications Information section to calculate the value of the CSS capacitor.
55
Oscillator Synchronization Input. SYNC can be driven by an external 150kHz to 350kHz clock to 
synchronize the MAX5080/MAX5081’s switching frequency. Connect SYNC to SGND when not 
used.

Internal Linear Regulator (REG)
REG is the output terminal of a 5V (MAX5080), or 8V 
(MAX5081) LDO which is powered from IN and provides power to the IC. Connect REG externally to 
DVREG to provide power for the high-side MOSFET 
gate driver. Bypass REG to SGND with a ceramic 
capacitor of at least 1µF. Place the capacitor physically 
close to the MAX5080/MAX5081 to provide good 
bypassing. During normal operation, REG is intended 
for powering up only the internal circuitry and should 
not be used to supply power to external loads.
Internal UVLO/External UVLO
The MAX5080/MAX5081 provides two undervoltage 
lockouts (UVLOs). An internal UVLO looks at the input 
voltage (VIN) and is fixed at 4.1V (MAX5080) or 7.1V 
(MAX5081). An external UVLO is sensed and programmed at the ON/OFF pin. The external UVLO over-
rides the internal UVLO when the external UVLO is 
higher than the internal UVLO. During startup, before 
any operation begins, the input voltage and the voltage 
at ON/OFF must exceed their respective UVLOs. The 
external UVLO has a rising threshold of 1.23V with
0.12V of hysteresis. Program the external UVLO by 
connecting a resistive divider from IN to ON/OFF to 
SGND. Connect ON/OFF to IN directly to disable the 
external UVLO.
Driving ON/OFF to ground places the MAX5080/ 
MAX5081 in shutdown. When in shutdown the internal 
power MOSFET turns off, all internal circuitry shuts 
down and the quiescent supply current reduces to 
200µA. Connect an RC network from ON/OFF to SGND 
to set a turn-on delay that can be used to sequence the 
output voltages of multiple devices.

Soft-Start and Reference (SS)
SS is the 1.23V reference bypass connection for the 
MAX5080/MAX5081 and also controls the soft-start 
period. At startup, after VINis applied and the internal 
and external UVLO thresholds are reached, the device 
enters soft-start. During soft-start, 15µA is sourced into 
the capacitor (CSS) connected from SS to SGND causing the reference voltage to ramp up slowly. When V
SS
reaches 1.23V the output becomes fully active. Set the 
soft-start time (tSS) using following equation:
where tSSis in seconds and CSSis in Farads.
Internal Charge Pump (MAX5080)
The MAX5080 features an internal charge pump to 
enhance the turn-on of the internal MOSFET, allowing 
for operation with input voltages down to 4.5V. Connect 
a flying capacitor (CF) between C+ and C-, a boost 
diode from C+ to BST, as well as a bootstrap capacitor 
(C
BST
) between BST and LX to provide the gate drive 
voltage for the high-side n-channel DMOS switch. 
During the on-time, the flying capacitor is charged to 
V
DVREG
. During the off-time, the positive terminal of the
flying capacitor (C+) is pumped to two times V
DVREG
and charge is dumped onto C
BST
to provide twice the 
regulator voltage across the high-side DMOS driver. 
Use a ceramic capacitor of at least 0.1µF for C
BST
and
CFlocated as close to the device as possible.

______________________________________________________________________________________ 11
For applications that do not require a 4.5V minimum 
input, use the MAX5081. In this device the charge 
pump is omitted and the input voltage range is from
7.5V to 40V. In this situation the boost diode and the 
boost capacitor are still required (see the MAX5081 
Typical Operating Circuit).
Gate Drive Supply (DVREG)
DVREG is the supply input for the internal high-side 
MOSFET driver. The power for DVREG is derived from 
the output of the internal regulator (REG). Connect 
DVREG to REG externally. We recommend the use of 
an RC filter (1Ω and 0.47µF) from REG to DVREG to filter the noise generated by the switching of the charge 
pump. In the MAX5080, the high-side drive supply is 
generated using the internal charge pump along with 
the bootstrap diode and capacitor. In the MAX5081, the 
high-side MOSFET driver supply is generated using 
only the bootstrap diode and capacitor.
Error Amplifier
The output of the internal error amplifier (COMP) is available for frequency compensation (see the Compensation 
Design section). The inverting input is FB, the noninverting input SS, and the output COMP. The error amplifier 
has an 80dB open-loop gain and a 1.8MHz GBW product. See the Typical Operating Character-istics for the 
Gain and Phase vs. Frequency graph.
Oscillator/Synchronization Input (SYNC)
With SYNC tied to SGND, the MAX5080/MAX5081 use 
their internal oscillator and switch at a fixed frequency 
of 250kHz. For external synchronization, drive SYNC 
with an external clock from 150kHz to 350kHz. When 
driven with an external clock, the device synchronizes 
to the rising edge of SYNC.
PWM Comparator/Voltage Feedforward
An internal 250kHz ramp generator is compared 
against the output of the error amplifier to generate the 
PWM signal. The maximum amplitude of the ramp 
(V
RAMP
) automatically adjusts to compensate for input 
voltage and oscillator frequency changes. This causes 
the VIN/V
RAMP
to be a constant 10V/V across the input 
voltage range of 4.5V to 40V (MAX5080) or 7.5V to 40V 
(MAX5081) and the SYNC frequency range of 150kHz 
to 350kHz.
Output Short-Circuit Protection
(Hiccup Mode)
The MAX5080/MAX5081 protects against an output short 
circuit by utilizing hiccup-mode protection. In hiccup 
mode, a series of sequential cycle-by-cycle current-limit 
events will cause the part to shut down and restart with
a soft-start sequence. This allows the device to operate 
with a continuous output short circuit.
During normal operation, the current is monitored at the 
drain of the internal power MOSFET. When the current 
limit is exceeded, the internal power MOSFET turns off 
until the next on-cycle and a counter increments. If the 
counter counts seven consecutive current-limit events, 
the device discharges the soft-start capacitor and 
shuts down for 512 clock periods before restarting with 
a soft-start sequence. Each time the power MOSFET 
turns on and the device does not exceed the current 
limit, the counter is reset.
Thermal-Overload Protection
The MAX5080/MAX5081 feature an integrated thermaloverload protection. Thermal-overload protection limits 
the total power dissipation in the device and protects it 
in the event of an extended thermal fault condition. 
When the die temperature exceeds +160°C, an internal 
thermal sensor shuts down the part, turning off the 
power MOSFET and allowing the IC to cool. After the 
temperature falls by 20°C, the part will restart with a 
soft-start sequence.
Applications Information
Setting the Undervoltage Lockout
When the voltage at ON/OFF rises above 1.23V, the 
MAX5080/MAX5081 turns on. Connect a resistive 
divider from IN to ON/OFF to SGND to set the UVLO 
threshold (see Figure 5). First select the ON/OFF to the 
SGND resistor (R2) then calculate the resistor from IN 
to ON/OFF (R1) using the following equation:
where VINis the input voltage at which the converter 
turns on, V
ON/OFF
= 1.23V and R2 is chosen to be less
than 600kΩ.
If the external UVLO divider is not used, connect 
ON/OFF to IN directly. In this case, an internal undervoltage lockout feature monitors the supply voltage at 
IN and allows operation to start when IN rises above
4.1V (MAX5080) and 7.1V (MAX5081).
Setting the Output Voltage
Connect a resistive divider from OUT to FB to SGND to 
set the output voltage. First calculate the resistor from 
OUT to FB using the guidelines in the Compensation 
Design section. Once R3 is known, calculate R4 using 
the following equation:

Inductor Selection
Three key inductor parameters must be specified for 
operation with the MAX5080/MAX5081: inductance 
value (L), peak inductor current (I
PEAK
), and inductor
saturation current (I
SAT
). The minimum required inductance is a function of operating frequency, input-to-output voltage differential, and the peak-to-peak inductor 
current (∆I
P-P
). Higher ∆I
P-P
allows for a lower inductor
value while a lower ∆I
P-P
requires a higher inductor 
value. A lower inductor value minimizes size and cost 
and improves large-signal and transient response, but 
reduces efficiency due to higher peak currents and 
higher peak-to-peak output voltage ripple for the same 
output capacitor. On the other hand, higher inductance 
increases efficiency by reducing the ripple current. 
Resistive losses due to extra wire turns can exceed the 
benefit gained from lower ripple current levels especially when the inductance is increased without also allowing for larger inductor dimensions. A good compromise 
is to choose ∆I
P-P
equal to 40% of the full load current.
Calculate the inductor using the following equation:
VINand V
OUT
are typical values so that efficiency is optimum for typical conditions. The switching frequency (fSW) 
is fixed at 250kHz or can vary between 150kHz and 
350kHz when synchronized to an external clock (see the 
Oscillator/Synchronization Input (SYNC) section). The 
peak-to-peak inductor current, which reflects the peak-topeak output ripple, is worst at the maximum input voltage. 
See the Output Capacitor Selection section to verify that 
the worst-case output ripple is acceptable. The inductor 
saturating current (I
SAT
) is also important to avoid runaway current during continuous output short circuit. 
Select an inductor with an I
SAT
specification higher than
the maximum peak current limit of 2.6A.
Input Capacitor Selection
The discontinuous input current of the buck converter 
causes large input ripple currents and therefore the 
input capacitor must be carefully chosen to keep the 
input voltage ripple within design requirements. The 
input voltage ripple is comprised of ∆VQ(caused by the 
capacitor discharge) and ∆V
ESR
(caused by the ESR of
the input capacitor). The total voltage ripple is the sum 
of ∆V
Q
and ∆V
ESR
. Calculate the input capacitance and 
ESR required for a specified ripple using the following 
equations:
where
I
OUT_MAX 
is the maximum output current, D is the duty
cycle, and fSWis the switching frequency.
The MAX5080/MAX5081 includes internal and external 
UVLO hysteresis and soft-start to avoid possible unintentional chattering during turn-on. However, use a bulk 
capacitor if the input source impedance is high. Use 
enough input capacitance at lower input voltages to 
avoid possible undershoot below the undervoltage 
lockout threshold during transient loading.
Output Capacitor Selection
The allowable output voltage ripple and the maximum 
deviation of the output voltage during load steps determine the output capacitance and its ESR. The output 
ripple is mainly composed of ∆VQ(caused by the 
capacitor discharge) and ∆V
ESR
(caused by the voltage drop across the equivalent series resistance of the 
output capacitor). The equations for calculating the 
peak-to-peak output voltage ripple are:
Normally, a good approximation of the output voltage 
ripple is ∆V
RIPPLE

ESR
+ ∆VQ. If using ceramic
capacitors, assume the contribution to the output voltage ripple from ESR and the capacitor discharge to be

equal to 20% and 80%, respectively. ∆I
P-P
is the peak-topeak inductor current (see the Input Capacitors Selection 
section) and fSWis the converter’s switching frequency.
The allowable deviation of the output voltage during 
fast load transients also determines the output capacitance, its ESR, and its equivalent series inductance 
(ESL). The output capacitor supplies the load current 
during a load step until the controller responds with a 
greater duty cycle. The response time (t
RESPONSE
) 
depends on the closed-loop bandwidth of the converter 
(see the Compensation Design section). The resistive 
drop across the output capacitors ESR, the drop 
across the capacitors ESL (∆V
ESL)
, and the capacitor 
discharge causes a voltage droop during the loadstep. Use a combination of low-ESR tantalum/aluminum 
electrolyte and ceramic capacitors for better transient 
load and voltage ripple performance. Nonleaded 
capacitors and capacitors in parallel help reduce the 
ESL. Keep the maximum output voltage deviation 
below the tolerable limits of the electronics being powered. Use the following equations to calculate the 
required ESR, ESL, and capacitance value during a 
load step:
where I
STEP
is the load step, t
STEP
is the rise time of the
load step, and t
RESPONSE
is the response time of the
controller.
Compensation Design
The MAX5080/MAX5081 use a voltage-mode control 
scheme that regulates the output voltage by comparing 
the error amplifier output (COMP) with an internal ramp 
to produce the required duty cycle. The output lowpass 
LC filter creates a double pole at the resonant frequency, which has a gain drop of -40dB/decade. The error 
amplifier must compensate for this gain drop and phase 
shift to achieve a stable closed-loop system.
The basic regulator loop consists of a power modulator, 
an output feedback divider, and a voltage error amplifier. The power modulator has a DC gain set by 
VIN/V
RAMP
, with a double pole and a single zero set by
the output inductance (L), the output capacitance
(C
OUT
) (C5 in the Typical Application Circuit) and its 
equivalent series resistance (ESR). The power modulator incorporates a voltage feed-forward feature, which 
automatically adjusts for variations in the input voltage 
resulting in a DC gain of 10. The following equations 
define the power modulator:
The switching frequency is internally set at 250kHz or 
can vary from 150kHz to 350kHz when driven with an 
external SYNC signal. The crossover frequency (fC), 
which is the frequency when the closed-loop gain is 
equal to unity, should be set at 15kHz or below therefore:
fC≤15kHz
The error amplifier must provide a gain and phase 
bump to compensate for the rapid gain and phase loss 
from the LC double pole. This is accomplished by utilizing a type 3 compensator that introduces two zeroes 
and 3 poles into the control loop. The error amplifier 
has a low-frequency pole (fP1) near the origin.
The two zeros are at:
and the higher frequency poles are at:
Compensation When fC< f

Figure 3 shows the error amplifier feedback as well as 
its gain response for circuits that use low-ESR output 
capacitors (ceramic). In this case f

fZ1is set to 0.8 x f

Power Dissipation
The MAX5080/MAX5081 is available in a thermally 
enhanced package and can dissipate up to 2.7W at T
A
= +70°C. When the die temperature reaches +160°C, 
the part shuts down and is allowed to cool. After the 
parts cool by 20°C, the device restarts with a soft-start.
The power dissipated in the device is the sum of the 
power dissipated from supply current (PQ), transition 
losses due to switching the internal power MOSFET 
(PSW), and the power dissipated due to the RMS current through the internal power MOSFET (P
MOSFET
). 
The total power dissipated in the package must be limited such that the junction temperature does not 
exceed its absolute maximum rating of +150°C at maximum ambient temperature. Calculate the power lost in
