♦ Input Range: Up to 30V
The MAX830/MAX831/MAX832/MAX833 are monolithic,
bipolar, pulse-width-modulation (PWM), switch-mode, step-
down DC-DC regulators. Each is rated at 1A. 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.
♦ 1A On-Chip Power Switch
♦ Adjustable Output (MAX830)
Fixed Outputs: 5V (MAX831)
3.3V (MAX832)
3V (MAX833)
♦ 100kHz Switching Frequency
♦ Excellent Dynamic Characteristics
♦ Few External Components
♦ 8mA Quiescent Current
♦ 16-Pin SO Package
These regulators have excellent dynamic and transient
response characteristics, while featuring cycle-by-cycle cur-
rent limiting to protect against overcurrent faults and short-
circuit output faults. They have a wide 8V to 30V input
range. Outputs for the MAX831/MAX832/MAX833 are fixed
a t 5V/3.3V/3V, re s p e c tive ly. The MAX830 outp ut is
adjustable.
♦ Evaluation Kit Available
Available in 16-pin SO packages, the MAX830–MAX833
have a preset 100kHz oscillator frequency. In addition,
the preset current limit and micropower shutdown can be
externally controlled. See the MAX724/MAX726 data
sheet for more applications information.
