2.7A, 1MHz, Low-Voltage, Step-Down Regulator with
Internal Synchronous Rectification in TQFN Package
General Description
The MAX1843 constant-off-time, pulse-width modulated
(PWM) step-down DC-DC converter is ideal for use in 5V
and 3.3V to low-voltage conversion necessary in note-
book and subnotebook computers. This device features
an internal PMOS power switch and internal synchronous
rectification for high efficiency and reduced component
count. An external Schottky diode is not required. The
internal 90mΩ power switch and 70mΩ nMOS synchro-
nous-rectifier switch easily deliver continuous load cur-
rents up to 2.7A. The MAX1843 produces a preset +2.5V,
+1.8V, or +1.5V output voltage or an adjustable output
from +1.1V to V
IN
. It achieves efficiencies as high as
95%.
The MAX1843 uses a unique current-mode, constant-off-
time, PWM control scheme, which includes Idle Mode™
to maintain high efficiency during light-load operation.
The programmable constant-off-time architecture sets
switching frequencies up to 1MHz, allowing the user to
optimize performance trade-offs between efficiency, out-
put switching noise, component size, and cost. The
MAX1843 features an adjustable soft-start to limit surge
currents during startup, a 100% duty-cycle mode for low
dropout operation, and a low-power shutdown mode that
disconnects the input from the output and reduces sup-
ply current below 1µA. The MAX1843 is available in a 28-
pin TQFN package with an exposed backside pad.

Note 1:
LX has internal clamp diodes to PGND and IN. Applications that forward bias these diodes should take care not to exceed the
IC’s package power dissipation limits.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
