General Description
The MAX8621Y/MAX8621Z power-management integrated circuits (PMICs) are designed for a variety of
portable devices including cellular handsets. These
PMICs include two high-efficiency step-down DC-DC
converters, four low-dropout linear regulators (LDOs)
with pin-programmable capability, one open-drain driver, a 60ms (typ) reset timer, and power-on/off control
logic. These devices offer high efficiency with a no-load
supply current of 160µA, and their small thin QFN 4mm
x 4mm package makes them ideal for portable devices.
The step-down DC-DC converters utilize a proprietary
4MHz hysteretic-PWM control scheme that allows for
ultra-small external components. Internal synchronous
rectification improves efficiency and eliminates the
external Schottky diode that is required in conventional
step-down converters. The output voltage is adjustable
from 0.6V to 3.3V. The output current is guaranteed up
to 500mA.
The four LDOs offer low 45µV
RMS
output noise and low
dropout of only 100mV at 100mA. OUT1 and OUT2
deliver 300mA (min) of continuous output current.
OUT3 and OUT4 deliver 150mA (min) of continuous
output current. The output voltages are pin selectable
by SEL1 and SEL2 for flexibility. The MAX8621Y/
MAX8621Z offer different sets of LDO output voltages.
A microprocessor reset output (RESET) monitors OUT1
and warns the system of impending power loss, allowing safe shutdown. RESET asserts during power-up,
power-down, shutdown, and fault conditions where
V
OUT1
is below its regulation voltage.
A 200mA driver output is provided to control LED backlighting or provide an open-drain connection for resistors such as in feedback networks.

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.
Note 1: LX_ has internal clamp diodes to GND and IN1. Applications that forward-bias these diodes should take care not to exceed
the IC’s package dissipation limits.

MAX8621Y/MAX8621Z
Dual Step-Down DC-DC Power-Management ICs
for Portable Devices
10 ______________________________________________________________________________________
Detailed Description
The MAX8621Y/MAX8621Z power-management ICs are
designed specifically to power a variety of portable
devices including cellular handsets. Each device contains two 4MHz high-efficient step-down converters, four
low-dropout linear regulators (LDOs), a 60ms (typ) reset
timer, a 200mA open-drain output driver, and poweron/off control logic (Figure 3).
Step Down DC-DC Control Scheme
The MAX8621Y/MAX8621Z step-down converters are
optimized for high-efficiency voltage conversion over a
wide load range, while maintaining excellent transient
response, minimizing external component size, and
minimizing output voltage ripple. The DC-DC converters (BUCK1 and BUCK2) also feature an optimized onresistance internal MOSFET switch and synchronous
rectifier to maximize efficiency. The MAX8621Y/
MAX8621Z utilize a proprietary hysteretic-PWM control
scheme that switches with nearly fixed frequency up to
4MHz, allowing for ultra-small external components.
The step-down converter output current is guaranteed
up to 500mA, while consuming 40µA (typ).
When the step-down converter output voltage falls below
the regulation threshold, the error comparator begins a
switching cycle by turning the high-side p-channel
MOSFET switch on. This switch remains on until the minimum on-time (tON) expires and the output voltage is in
regulation or the current-limit threshold (I
LIMP
) is exceeded. Once off, the high-side switch remains off until the
minimum off-time (t
OFF
) expires and the output voltage
again falls below the regulation threshold. During this off
period, the low-side synchronous rectifier turns on and
remains on until either the high-side switch turns on or
the inductor current reduces to the rectifier-off current
threshold (I
LXOFF
= 45mA (typ)). The internal synchronous rectifier eliminates the need for an external
Schottky diode.
Voltage-Positioning Load Regulation
The MAX8621Y/MAX8621Z use a unique step-down
converter feedback network. By taking feedback from
the LX node through R1, the usual phase lag due to the
output capacitor is removed, making the loop exceedingly stable and allowing the use of a very small ceramic
output capacitor. This configuration causes the output
voltage to shift by the inductor series resistance multiplied by the load current. This output voltage shift is
known as voltage-positioning load regulation. Voltagepositioning load regulation greatly reduces overshoot
during load transients, which effectively halves the
peak-to-peak output-voltage excursions compared to
traditional step-down converters. See the Buck1 Load-
Transient Response graph in the Typical Operating
Characteristics.
Low-Dropout Linear Regulators
Each MAX8621Y/MAX8621Z contains four low-dropout,
low-quiescent-current, high-accuracy linear regulators
(LDOs). OUT1 and OUT2 supply loads up to 300mA,
while OUT3 and OUT4 supply loads up to 150mA. The
LDO output voltages are set using SEL1 and SEL2 (see
Table 1). The LDOs include an internal reference, error
amplifier, p-channel pass transistor, internal programmable voltage-divider, and an OUT1 power-good comparator. Each error amplifier compares the reference
voltage to a feedback voltage and amplifies the difference. If the feedback voltage is lower than the reference voltage, the pass-transistor gate is pulled lower,
allowing more current to pass to the outputs and
increasing the output voltage. If the feedback voltage is
too high, the pass-transistor gate is pulled up, allowing
less current to pass to the output.
DR Driver
Each MAX8621Y/MAX8621Z includes a 1.3Ω n-channel
MOSFET open-drain output that is controlled by ENDR.
This output can be used to drive LEDs (see the Typical
Operating Circuit) and allow adjustable output voltages
(see Figure 1).
Programming LDO Output Voltages
(SEL1, SEL2)
As shown in Table 1, the LDO output voltages, OUT1,
OUT2, OUT3, and OUT4 are pin-programmable by the
logic states of SEL1 and SEL2. SEL1 and SEL2 are
trilevel inputs: IN, open, and GND. The input voltage,
VIN, must be greater than the selected OUT1, OUT2,
OUT3, and OUT4 voltages. The logic states of SEL1
and SEL2 can be programmed only during power-up.
Once the OUT_ voltages are programmed, their values
do not change by changing SEL_ unless the
MAX8621Y/MAX8621Z power is cycled.

Power-Supply Sequence
BUCK1 is always first on and last off in the MAX8621Y/
MAX8621Zs’ power sequence. BUCK1 turns on approximately 40µs after PWRON is enabled. BUCK2 turns on
approximately 40µs after BUCK1, and OUT1 turns on
65µs after BUCK2. These delays have been added to
sequence the turn-on of the step-down converters and
LDOs so that the initial current surges are distributed
over time. For the same reason, OUT2, OUT3, and OUT4
can be turned on by EN2, EN3, and EN4 signals, but
only after OUT1 has reached 87% of its final value. Note
that OUT2 typically requires a longer time to enable than
OUT3 and OUT4 (45µs versus 15µs). All regulators can
be turned off at the same time when PWRON is low, but
BUCK1 remains on for approximately another 120µs
after PWRON goes low.

MAX8621Y/MAX8621Z
PWRON
Drive PWRON low or leave PWRON open to place the
MAX8621Y/MAX8621Z in power-down mode and
reduce supply current to 5µA (typ). In power-down, the
control circuitry, internal-switching p-channel MOSFET,
and the internal synchronous rectifier (n-channel
MOSFET) turn off (BUCK1 and BUCK2), and LX_
becomes high impedance. In addition, all four LDOs
are disabled. Connect PWRON to IN or logic-high to
enable the MAX8621Y/MAX8621Z. EN2 enables and
disables OUT2 when PWRON is high.
OUT2 Enable (
EN2
)
Drive EN2 high to disable OUT2. Drive EN2 low or
leave open to enable OUT2. EN2 is internally pulled to
GND by an 800kΩ (typ) pulldown resistor. If the
MAX8621Y/MAX8621Z are powered down using
PWRON (PWRON = low), OUT2 does not power
regardless of the status of EN2.
Reset Output (
RESET
)
The reset circuit is active both at power-up and powerdown. RESET asserts low when V
OUT1
drops below
87% (typ) of regulation. RESET deasserts 60ms after
V
OUT1
rises above 87% (typ) of regulation. RESET is
pulled up through an internal 14kΩ resistor to OUT1.
Undervoltage Lockout
Initial power-up of the MAX8621Y/MAX8621Z occurs
when VINis greater than 2.85V (typ) and PWRON
asserts. Once VINexceeds 2.85V (typ), the undervoltage lockout has 0.5V of hysteresis, allowing the V
IN
operating range to drop down to 2.35V (typ) without
shutting down.
Current Limiting
The MAX8621Y/MAX8621Z OUT1 and OUT2 LDOs limit
their output current to 550mA (typ). OUT3 and OUT4
LDOs limit their output current to 360mA (typ). If the LDO
output current exceeds the current limit, the corresponding LDO output voltage drops. The step-down converters
(BUCK1 and BUCK2) limit the p-channel MOSFET to
670mA (min) and the n-channel MOSFET to 750mA (min).
Reference Bypass Capacitor
Node (REFBP)
An external 0.01µF bypass capacitor and an internal
100kΩ (typ) resistor at REFBP create a lowpass filter for
LDO noise reduction. OUT1, OUT2, OUT3, and OUT4
exhibit 45µV

Thermal-Overload Protection
Thermal-overload protection limits total power dissipation in the MAX8621Y/MAX8621Z. Independent thermalprotection circuits monitor the step-down converters
and the linear-regulator circuits. When the junction temperature exceeds TJ= +160°C, the thermal-overload
protection circuit disables the corresponding circuitry,
allowing the IC to cool. The LDO thermal-overload protection circuit enables the LDOs after the LDO junction
temperature cools down, resulting in pulsed LDO outputs during continuous thermal-overload conditions. The
step-down converter’s thermal-overload protection
circuitry enables the step-down converter after the
junction temperature cools down. Thermal-overload
protection safeguards the MAX8621Y/MAX8621Z in the
event of fault conditions. For continuous operation, do
not exceed the absolute maximum junction-temperature
rating of T
J
= +150°C.
Applications Information
Step-Down DC-DC Converter
Setting the Step-Down Output Voltage
Select an output voltage for BUCK1 between 0.6V and
3.3V by connecting FB1 to a resistive voltage-divider
between LX1 and GND. Choose R2 (Figure 3) for a rea-
sonable bias current in the resistive divider. A wide range
of resistor values is acceptable, but a good starting point
is to choose R2 as 100kΩ. Then, R1 (Figure 3) is given by:
where VFB= 0.6V. For BUCK2, R3 and R4 are calculated
using the same methods.
Input Capacitor
The input capacitor, C
IN1
, reduces the current peaks
drawn from the battery or input power source and
reduces switching noise in the IC. The impedance of
C
IN1
at the switching frequency should be kept very
low. Ceramic capacitors with X5R or X7R dielectrics are
highly recommended due to their small size, low ESR,
and small temperature coefficients. Due to the
MAX8621Y/MAX8621Z step-down converter’s fast softstart, the input capacitance can be very low. Use a
10µF ceramic capacitor or an equivalent amount of
multiple capacitors in parallel between IN1 and ground.
Connect C
IN1
as close to the IC as possible to minimize
the impact of PC board trace inductance. Use a 4.7µF
ceramic capacitor from IN2 to ground and a second
4.7µF ceramic capacitor from IN3 to ground.

Inductor Selection
The MAX8621Y/MAX8621Z step-down converters operate with inductors between 1µH and 4.7µH. Low-inductance values are physically smaller but require faster
switching, resulting in some efficiency loss. See the
Typical Operating Characteristics for efficiency and
switching frequency vs. inductor value plots. The
inductor’s DC current rating needs to be only 100mA
greater than the application’s maximum load current
because the step-down converter features zero-current
overshoot during startup and load transients.
For output voltages above 2.0V, when light-load efficiency is important, the minimum recommended inductor is 2.2µH. For optimum voltage-positioning load
transients, choose an inductor with DC series resistance in the 50mΩ to 150mΩ range. For higher efficiency at heavy loads (above 200mA) or minimal load
regulation (but some transient overshoot), the resistance should be kept below 100mΩ. For light-load
applications up to 200mA, much higher resistance is
acceptable with very little impact on performance. See
Table 2 for some suggested inductors.

MAX8621Y/MAX8621Z
Output Capacitor
The output capacitors, C7 and C9 in Figure 3, are
required to keep the output voltage ripple small and to
ensure regulation loop stability. C7 and C9 must have
low impedance at the switching frequency. Ceramic
capacitors with X5R or X7R dielectric are highly recommended due to their small size, low ESR, and small
temperature coefficients. Due to the unique feedback
network, the output capacitance can be very low. For
most applications, a 2.2µF capacitor is sufficient. For
optimum load-transient performance and very low output ripple, the output capacitor value in µF should be
equal or larger than the inductor value in µH.
Feed-Forward Capacitor
The feed-forward capacitors, CFF(C6 and C8 in Figure
3), set the feedback loop response, control the switching frequency, and are critical in obtaining the best efficiency possible. Choose a small ceramic X7R
capacitor with value given by:
Select the closest standard value to C
FF
as possible.
For BUCK2, C8, R3, and L1 are calculated using the
same methods.
LDO Output Capacitor and
Regulator Stability
Connect a 4.7µF ceramic capacitor between OUT1 and
ground, and a second 4.7µF ceramic capacitor
between OUT2 and ground for 300mA applications. For
150mA applications, 2.2µF ceramic capacitors can be
used for OUT1 and OUT2. Connect a 2.2µF ceramic
capacitor between OUT3 and ground, and a second
2.2µF ceramic capacitor between OUT4 and ground.
The LDO output capacitor’s (C
OUT
) equivalent series
resistance (ESR) affects stability and output noise. Use
output capacitors with an ESR of 0.1Ω or less to ensure
stability and optimum transient response. Surfacemount ceramic capacitors have very low ESR and are
commonly available in values up to 10µF. Connect
C
OUT_
as close to the IC as possible to minimize the
impact of PC board trace inductance.
Thermal Considerations
The MAX8621Y/MAX8621Z total power dissipation, PD,
is estimated using the following equations:
where P
IN(BUCK1)
is the input power for BUCK1, η is the
step-down converter efficiency, and R

is
the inductor’s DC resistance.

The die junction temperature can be calculated as follows:
When operating at an ambient temp of +70°C under the
above conditions:
TJshould not exceed +150°C in normal operating conditions.
Printed Circuit Board Layout and Routing
High switching frequencies and relatively large peak
currents make the PC board layout a very important
aspect of design. Good design minimizes excessive
EMI on the feedback paths and voltage gradients in the
ground plane, both of which can result in instability or
regulation errors. Connect C
IN_
close to IN_ and GND.
Connect the inductor and output capacitors (C
OUT_
) as
close to the IC as possible and keep the traces short,
direct, and wide.
The traces between C
OUT_
, C
FF_
, and FB_ are sensitive
to inductor magnetic field interference. Route these
traces between ground planes or keep the traces away
from the inductors.
Connect GND and PGND_ to the ground plane. The
external feedback network should be very close to the
FB pin, within 0.2in (5mm). Keep noisy traces, such as
the LX node, as short as possible. Connect GND to the
exposed paddle directly under the IC. Refer to the
MAX8621Y/MAX8621Z evaluation kit for an example PC
board layout and routing.
