The MAX748A/MAX763A are 3.3V-output CMOS, step-
d own s witc hing re g ula tors . The MAX748A a c c e p ts
inputs from 3.3V to 16V and delivers up to 500mA. The
MAX763A accepts inputs between 3.3V and 11V and
delivers up to 500mA. Typical efficiencies are 85% to
90%. Quiescent supply current is 1.4mA (MAX763A),
and only 0.2µA in shutdown.
♦ Up to 500mA Load Currents
♦ Guaranteed 159kHz to 219.5kHz Current-Mode
PWM
♦ 85% to 90% Efficiencies
♦ 1.7mA Quiescent Current (MAX748A)
1.4mA Quiescent Current (MAX763A)
Pulse-width-modulation (PWM) current-mode control pro-
vides precise output regulation and excellent transient
responses. Output voltage accuracy is guaranteed to be
± 5% ove r line , loa d , a nd te mp e ra ture va ria tions .
Fixed-frequency switching allows easy filtering of output
ripple and noise, as well as the use of small external
components. A 22µH inductor works in most applica-
tions, so no magnetics design is necessary.
♦ 0.2µA Shutdown Supply Current
♦ 22µH Preselected Inductor Value;
No Component Design Required
♦ Overcurrent, Soft-Start, and Undervoltage
Lockout Protection
♦ Cycle-by-Cycle Current Limiting
♦ 8-Pin DIP/SO Packages (MAX763A)
The MAX748A/MAX763A also feature cycle-by-cycle cur-
rent limiting, overcurrent limiting, undervoltage lockout,
and programmable soft-start protection. The MAX748A
is available in 8-pin DIP and 16-pin wide SO packages;
the MAX763A comes in 8-pin DIP and SO packages.
