_______________General Description
The MAX796/MAX797/MAX799 high-performance, step-
down DC-DC converters with single or dual outputs
provide main CPU power in battery-powered systems.
These buck controllers achieve 96% efficiency by using
synchronous rectification and Maxim’s proprietary Idle
Mode™ control scheme to extend battery life at full-load
(up to 10A) and no-load outputs. Excellent dynamic
response corrects output transients caused by the latest
dynamic-clock CPUs within five 300kHz clock cycles.
Unique bootstrap circuitry drives inexpensive N-channel
MOSFETs, reducing system cost and eliminating the
crowbar switching currents found in some PMOS/NMOS
switch designs.
The MAX796/MAX799 are specially equipped with a sec-
ondary feedback input (SECFB) for transformer-based
dual-output applications. This secondary feedback path
improves cross-regulation of positive (MAX796) or nega-
tive (MAX799) auxiliary outputs.
The MAX797 has a logic-controlled and synchronizable
fixed-frequency pulse-width-modulating (PWM) operating
mode, which reduces noise and RF interference in sensi-
tive mobile-communications and pen-entry applications.
The SKIP override input allows automatic switchover to
idle-mode operation (for high-efficiency pulse skipping) at
light loads, or forces fixed-frequency mode for lowest noise
at all loads.
The MAX796/MAX797/MAX799 are all available in 16-
pin DIP and narrow SO packages. See the table below
to compare these three converters.

Note 1:
Since the reference uses VL as its supply, V+ line-regulation error is insignificant.
Note 2:
At very low input voltages, quiescent supply current may increase due to excess PNP base current in the VL linear
regulator. This occurs only if V+ falls below the preset VL regulation point (5V nominal). See the Quiescent Supply Current
vs. Supply Voltage graph in the
Typical Operating Characteristics.
