♦ High Efficiency for a Wide Range of Load Currents
♦ 250mA Output Current
The MAX764/MAX765/MAX766 inverting switching regu-
lators are highly efficient over a wide range of load cur-
rents, delivering up to 1.5W. A unique, current-limited,
pulse-frequency-modulated (PFM) control scheme com-
bines the benefits of traditional PFM converters with the
benefits of pulse-width-modulated (PWM) converters.
Like PWM converters, the MAX764/MAX765/MAX766 are
highly efficient at heavy loads. Yet because they are PFM
devices, they use less than 120µA of supply current (vs.
2mA to 10mA for a PWM device).
♦ 120µA Max Supply Current
♦ 5µA Max Shutdown Current
♦ 3V to 16V Input Voltage Range
♦ -5V (MAX764), -12V (MAX765), -15V (MAX766),
or Adjustable Output from -1V to -16V
The input voltage range is 3V to 16V. The output volt-
age is preset at -5V (MAX764), -12V (MAX765), or -15V
(MAX766); it can also be adjusted from -1V to -16V
using two external resistors (Dual ModeTM). The maxi-

differential is 20V.

These devices use miniature external components; their
high switching frequencies (up to 300kHz) allow for less
than 5mm diameter surface-mount magnetics. A stan-
dard 47µH inductor is ideal for most applications, so no
magnetics design is necessary.
