The MAX787/MAX788/MAX789 are monolithic, bipolar, pulse-width modulation (PWM), switch-mode, step-down DC-DC regulators. Each is rated at 5A. 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.
The MAX787/MAX788/MAX789 have excellent dynamic and transient response characteristics, while featuring cycle-by-cycle current limiting to protect against overcurrent faults and short-circuit output faults. They also have a wide 8V to 40V input range.
Each regulator is available in a 5-pin TO-220 package. These devices have a preset 100kHz oscillator frequency and a preset current limit of 6.5A. See the MAX724/MAX726 data sheet for more applications information.
