General Description
The MAX5082/MAX5083 are 250kHz PWM step-down
DC-DC converters with an on-chip, 0.3Ω high-side
switch. The input voltage range is 4.5V to 40V for the
MAX5082 and 7.5V to 40V for the MAX5083. The output
is adjustable from 1.23V to 32V and can deliver up to
1.5A of load current.
Both devices utilize a voltage-mode control scheme for
good noise immunity in the high-voltage switching envi-
ronment and offer external compensation allowing for
maximum flexibility with a wide selection of inductor val-
ues and capacitor types. The switching frequency is
internally fixed at 250kHz and can be synchronized to
an external clock signal through the SYNC input. Light
load efficiency is improved by automatically switching
to a pulse-skip mode.
All devices include programmable undervoltage lock-
out and soft-start. Protection features include cycle-by-
cycle current limit, hiccup-mode output short-circuit
protection, and thermal shutdown. Both devices are
available in a space-saving, high-power (2.7W), 16-pin
TQFN package and are rated for operation over the
-40°C to +125°C temperature range.
