MAX1928EUB15+

General Description
The MAX1927/MAX1928 800mA step-down converters
power low-voltage microprocessors in compact equip-
ment requiring the highest possible efficiency. The
MAX1927/MAX1928 are optimized for generating low
output voltages (down to 750mV) at high efficiency
using small external components. The supply voltage
range is from 2.6V to 5.5V and the guaranteed minimum
output current is 800mA. 1MHz pulse-width modulation
(PWM) switching allows for small external components.
A unique control scheme minimizes ripple at light loads,
while maintaining a low 140µA quiescent current.
The MAX1927/MAX1928 include a low on-resistance
internal MOSFET switch and synchronous rectifier to
maximize efficiency and minimize external component
count. No external diode is needed. 100% duty-cycle
operation allows for a dropout voltage of only 340mV at
800mA. Other features include internal soft-start,
power-OK (POK) output, and selectable forced PWM
operation for lower noise at all load currents.
The MAX1928 is available with several preset output
voltages: 1.5V (MAX1928-15), 1.8V (MAX1928-18), and
2.5V (MAX1928-25). The MAX1927R has adjustable
output range down to 0.75V. The MAX1927/MAX1928
are available in a tiny 10-pin µMAX package.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
