The MAX1733/MAX1734 step-down DC-DC converters deliver over 250mA to outputs as low as 1.25V. These converters use a unique proprietary current-limited control scheme that achieves over 90% efficiency. These devices maintain extremely low quiescent supply current (40µA), and their high 1.2MHz (max) operating frequency permits small, low-cost external components. This combination of features makes the MAX1733/ MAX1734 excellent high-efficiency alternatives to linear regulators in space-constrained applications.

Internal synchronous rectification greatly improves efficiency and eliminates the external Schottky diode required in conventional step-down converters. Both devices also include internal digital soft-start to limit input current upon startup and reduce input capacitor requirements.

The MAX1733 provides an adjustable output voltage (1.25V to 2.0V). The MAX1734 provides factory-preset output voltages (see Selector Guide). Both are available in space-saving 5-pin SOT23 packages.

  • Product Detail

    The MAX1734 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount PC board that contains a switching-regulator circuit configured for a +1.8V output. At up to 250mA, it accepts inputs from a +2.7VDC to +5.5VDC source or a 1-cell lithium-ion (Li+) or 2- to 3-cell battery.

    The MAX1734 features an internal P-channel MOSFET switch, a synchronous rectifier, logic-controlled shutdown, and digital soft-start to limit startup current. The MAX1734 EV kit provides low quiescent current and efficiency up to 93%, providing maximum battery life. High-frequency operation up to 1.2MHz with a maximum duty cycle of 100% allows the use of tiny surface-mount components. The EV kit can also evaluate the MAX1733 after modifications.
