General Description
The MAX8884Y/MAX8884Z step-down converters with
dual low-dropout (LDO) linear regulators are intended to
power low-voltage microprocessors, DSPs, camera and
Wi-Fi modules, or other point of load applications in
portable devices. These ICs feature high efficiency with
small external component size. The step-down converter
output voltage is pin selectable between 1.2V and 1.8V,
and provides guaranteed output current of 700mA. The
2/4MHz hysteretic-PWM control scheme allows for tiny
external components and reduces no-load operating
current to 50μA. Two low quiescent current, low-noise
LDOs operate down to 2.7V supply voltage. Two switching frequency options are available—MAX8884Y (2MHz)
and MAX8884Z (4MHz)—allowing optimization for smallest solution size or highest efficiency. Fast switching
allows the use of small ceramic 2.2μF input and output
capacitors while maintaining low ripple voltage. The
MAX8884Y/MAX8884Z have individual enables for each
output, maximizing flexibility.
The MAX8884Y/MAX8884Z are available in a 16-bump,
2mm x 2mm CSP package (0.7mm max height).

These ICs are constructed using a unique set of packaging techniques imposing a limit on the thermal profile used during board level
solder attach and rework. This limit permits only the use of the solder profiles recommended in the industry-standard specification,
JEDEC 020A, paragraph 7.6, Table 3 for IR/VPR and Convection reflow. Preheating is required. Hand or wave soldering is not allowed.
