5V/3.3V/3V/Adjustable-Output, 1A,
Step-Down, PWM, Switch-Mode DC-DC Regulators
_______________General Description
The MAX830/MAX831/MAX832/MAX833 are monolithic,
bipolar, pulse-width-modulation (PWM), switch-mode, stepdown DC-DC regulators. Each is rated at 1A. Very few
external components are needed for standard operation
because the power switch, oscillator, feedback, and control
circuitry are all on-chip. Employing a classic buck topology,
these regulators perform high-current step-down functions.
These regulators have excellent dynamic and transient
response characteristics, while featuring cycle-by-cycle current limiting to protect against overcurrent faults and shortcircuit output faults. They have a wide 8V to 30V input
range. Outputs for the MAX831/MAX832/MAX833 are fixed
at 5V/3.3V/3V, respectively. The MAX830 output is
adjustable.
Available in 16-pin SO packages, the MAX830–MAX833
have a preset 100kHz oscillator frequency. In addition,
the preset current limit and micropower shutdown can be
externally controlled. See the MAX724/MAX726 data
sheet for more applications information.
