500mA, 76V, High-Efficiency, MAXPower
Step-Down DC-DC Converter
General Description
Features
ꢀ Wide 7.5V to 76V Input Voltage Range
The MAX5033 easy-to-use, high-efficiency, high-voltage,
step-down DC-DC converter operates from an input volt-
age up to 76V and consumes only 270µA quiescent cur-
rent at no load. This pulse-width modulated (PWM)
converter operates at a fixed 125kHz switching frequen-
cy at heavy loads, and automatically switches to pulse-
skipping mode to provide low quiescent current and
high efficiency at light loads. The MAX5033 includes
internal frequency compensation simplifying circuit
implementation. The device uses an internal low-on-
resistance, high-voltage, DMOS transistor to obtain high
efficiency and reduce overall system cost. This device
includes undervoltage lockout, cycle-by-cycle current
limit, hiccup-mode output short-circuit protection, and
thermal shutdown.

Ordering Information
The MAX5033 delivers up to 500mA output current.
The output current may be limited by the maximum
power dissipation capability of the package. External
shutdown is included, featuring 10µA (typ) shutdown
current. The MAX5033A/B/C versions have fixed output
voltages of 3.3V, 5V, and 12V, respectively, while the
MAX5033D features an adjustable output voltage, from
1.25V to 13.2V.
