_______________General Description
The MAX747 high-efficiency, high-current, step-down
controller drives external P-channel FETs. It provides
90% to 95% efficiency from a 6V supply with load
currents ranging from 50mA up to 2.5A. It uses a
pulse-width-modulating (PWM) current-mode control
scheme to provide precise output regulation and low
output noise. The MAX747’s 4V to 15V input voltage
range, a fixed 5V/adjustable (Dual-Mode™) output, and
a current limit set with an external resistor make this
device ideal for a wide range of applications.
High efficiency is maintained with light loads due to a
proprietary dual-control (Idle-Mode™) scheme that
minimizes switching losses by reducing the switching
frequency at light loads. The low 800µA quiescent
current and ultra-low 0.6µA shutdown current further
extend battery life.
External components are protected by the MAX747’s
cycle-by-cycle current limit. The MAX747 also features a
2V ±1.5% reference, a comparator for low-battery
detection or level translating, as well as soft-start and
shutdown capability.
The MAX746, discussed in a separate data sheet,
functions similarly to the MAX747, but it drives N-channel
logic level FETs on the high side.
