5A/2A Step-Down, PWM,
Switch-Mode DC-DC Regulators
_______________General Description
The MAX724/MAX726 are monolithic, bipolar, pulse-
width modulation (PWM), switch-mode DC-DC regula-
tors optimized for step-down applications. The
MAX724 is rated at 5A, and the MAX726 at 2A. Few
external components are needed for standard opera-
tion because the power switch, oscillator, and control
circuitry are all on-chip. Employing a classic buck
topology, these regulators perform high-current step-
down functions, but can also be configured as invert-
ers, negative boost converters, or flyback converters.
These regulators have excellent dynamic and transient
response characteristics, while featuring cycle-by-cycle
current limiting to protect against overcurrent faults and
short-circuit output faults. The MAX724/MAX726 also
have a wide 8V to 40V input range in the buck step-
down configuration. In inverting and boost configura-
tions, the input can be as low as 5V.
The MAX724/MAX726 are available in a 5-pin TO-220
package. The devices have a preset 100kHz oscillator
frequency and a preset current limit of 6.5A (MAX724)
or 2.6A (MAX726).

Note 1:
Do not exceed switch-to-input voltage limitation.
Note 2:
For switch currents between 1A and 5A (2A for MAX726), maximum switch-on voltage can be calculated via linear
interpolation.
Note 3:
By setting the feedback pin (FB) to 2.5V, the V
C
pin is forced to its low clamp level and the switch duty cycle is forced to
zero, approximating the zero load condition.
Note 4:
For proper regulation, total voltage from V
IN
to GND must be
≥
8V after start-up.
Note 5:
To avoid extremely short switch-on times, the switch frequency is internally scaled down when V
FB
is less than 1.3V. Switch-
current limit is tested with V
FB
adjusted to give a 1µs minimum switch-on time.
Note 6:
Guaranteed, not production tested.
