General Description
The MAX1744/MAX1745 are step-down DC-DC con-
trollers capable of handling up to 36V inputs. These
parts use a proprietary current-limited control scheme
for excellent light- and full-load efficiency, while their
330kHz (max) switching frequency permits small exter-
nal components for space-critical applications.
Operation to 100% duty cycle permits the lowest possi-
ble dropout voltage.
The MAX1744 contains an internal feedback network
that provides a pin-selectable output voltage of either
3.3V or 5V. The MAX1745 uses an external feedback
network to generate an adjustable output voltage
between 1.25V and 18V.
The MAX1744/MAX1745 are available in a space-sav-
ing 10-pin μMAX
®
package.
