MAX1644EAE-T

General Description
The MAX1644 constant-off-time, PWM step-down DC-
DC converter is ideal for use in applications such as PC
cards, CPU daughter cards, and desktop computer
bus-termination boards. The device features internal
synchronous rectification for high efficiency and
reduced component count. It requires no external
Schottky diode. The internal 0.10Ω PMOS power switch
and 0.10Ω NMOS synchronous-rectifier switch easily
deliver continuous load currents up to 2A. The
MAX1644 produces a preset +3.3V or +2.5V output
voltage or an adjustable output from +1.1V to V
IN
. It
achieves efficiencies as high as 95%.
The MAX1644 uses a unique current-mode, constant-
off-time, PWM control scheme, which includes an Idle
Mode™ to maintain high efficiency during light-load
operation. The programmable constant-off-time archi-
tecture sets switching frequencies up to 350kHz, allow-
ing the user to optimize performance trade-offs
between efficiency, output switching noise, component
size, and cost. The device also features an adjustable
soft-start to limit surge currents during start-up, a 100%
duty cycle mode for low-dropout operation, and a low-
power shutdown mode that disconnects the input from
the output and reduces supply current below 1µA. The
MAX1644 is available in a 16-pin SSOP package.
