General Description
The MAX8505 step-down regulator operates from a 2.6V
to 5.5V input and generates an adjustable output voltage
from 0.8V to 0.85
VIN at up to 3A. With a 2.6V to 5.5V
bias supply, the input voltage can be as low as 2.25V.
The MAX8505 integrates power MOSFETs and
operates at 1MHz/500kHz switching frequency to
provide a compact design. Current-mode pulse-width-
modulated (PWM) control simplifies compensation with
ceramic or polymer output capacitors and provides
excellent transient response.
The MAX8505 features 1% accurate output over load,
line, and temperature variations. Adjustable soft-start is
achieved with an external capacitor. During the
soft-start period, the voltage-regulation loop is active.
This limits the voltage dip when the active devices,
such as microprocessors or ASICs connected to the
MAX8505’s output, apply a sudden load current step
upon passing their undervoltage thresholds.
The MAX8505 features current-limit, short-circuit, and
thermal-overload protection and enables a rugged
design. Open-drain power-OK (POK) monitors the
output voltage.
