Overview

  • Dual, High-Efficiency, Synchronous Rectified Step-Down Converter
  • Main Power
    • Adjustable from +1.25V to +5.5V
    • Over 2A Load Current
    • Up to 95% Efficiency
  • Core Power
    • Adjustable from 1V to 5V
    • Internal Switches
    • Up to 1.5A Load Current
    • Up to 92% Efficiency
  • 100% (max) Duty Cycle
  • Up to 1.25MHz Switching Frequency
  • Input Voltage Range from +2.7V to +28V
  • 170µA Quiescent Current
  • 5µA Shutdown Current
  • Digital Soft-Start
  • Independent Shutdown Inputs

The MAX1775 dual, step-down DC-DC converter generates both the main (+3.3V at over 2A) and core (+1.8V at up to 1.5A) supplies for a complete power solution for PDAs, subnotebooks, and other hand-held devices. The main output is adjustable from +1.25V to +5.5V. The core output is adjustable from 1V to 5V. Both switching converters operate at up to 1.25MHz for small external components and use synchronous rectifiers to achieve efficiencies up to 95%. Operation with up to 100% duty cycle provides the lowest possible dropout voltage to extend useful battery life.

The MAX1775 accepts inputs from +2.7V up to +28V, allowing use with many popular battery configurations as well as AC-DC wall adapters. Digital soft-start reduces battery current surges at power-up. Both the main and core converters have separate shutdown inputs. The MAX1775 comes in a small 16-pin QSOP package.

The MAX1775 evaluation kit is available to help reduce design time.

Product Details

The MAX1775 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount circuit board that contains a dual step-down switching regulator circuit. The circuit is configured for a main output voltage of +3.3V and a core output voltage of +1.8V. The main output provides up to 1.5A, and the core provides up to 500mA of current.

Power for the circuit can be provided from a +2.7V to +5.5V DC source. The EV kit can be reconfigured for input voltages up to +28V. The core's input can be powered from the input source or, for higher input voltages, from the main output.

The MAX1775 EV kit demonstrates low quiescent current and high efficiency up to 95% for maximum battery life. Operation up to 1.25MHz allows the use of tiny surface-mount components.
