1A, 76V, High-Efficiency MAXPower
Step-Down DC-DC Converter
MAX035
General Description
Features
The MAX5035 easy-to-use, high-efficiency, high-volt-
age, step-down DC-DC converter operates from an
input voltage up to 76V and consumes only 270µA qui-
escent current at no load. This pulse-width modulated
(PWM) converter operates at a fixed 125kHz switching
frequency at heavy loads, and automatically switches
to pulse-skipping mode to provide low quiescent cur-
rent and high efficiency at light loads. The MAX5035
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 protec-
tion, and thermal shutdown.
♦ Wide 7.5V to 76V Input Voltage Range
♦ Fixed (3.3V, 5V, 12V) and Adjustable
(1.25V to 13.2V) Versions
♦ 1A Output Current
♦ Efficiency Up to 94%
♦ Internal 0.4Ω High-Side DMOS FET
♦ 270µA Quiescent Current at No Load, 10µA
Shutdown Current
♦ Internal Frequency Compensation
♦ Fixed 125kHz Switching Frequency
♦ Thermal Shutdown and Short-Circuit Current
The MAX5035 delivers up to 1A output current. The out-
put current may be limited by the maximum power dis-
sipation capability of the package. External shutdown is
included, featuring 10µA (typ) shutdown current. The
MAX5035A/B/C versions have fixed output voltages of
3.3V, 5V, and 12V, respectively, while the MAX5035D
features an adjustable output voltage from 1.25V to
13.2V.
