Low-Cost Voltage-Mode PWM
Step-Down Controllers
General Description
The MAX1966/MAX1967 are voltage-mode pulse-width-
modulated (PWM), step-down DC-DC controllers that
are ideal for a variety of cost-sensitive applications.
They drive low-cost N-MOSFETs for both the high-side
switch and synchronous rectifier and require no external
Schottky power diode or current-sense resistor. Short-
circuit and current-limit protection is provided by sens-
ing the drain-to-source voltage on the low-side FET.
Both devices can supply outputs as low as 0.8V and are
well suited for DSP cores and other low-voltage logic.
The MAX1966 has an input range of 2.7V to 5.5V while
the MAX1967 has an input range of 2.7V to 28V. In
ultra-low-cost designs, the MAX1966/MAX1967 can
provide efficiency exceeding 90% and can achieve
95% efficiency with optimized component selection.
The MAX1966/MAX1967 operate at 100kHz and ac-
commodate aluminum electrolytic capacitors and pow-
dered-iron core magnetics in minimum-cost designs.
They also provide excellent performance with high-per-
formance surface-mount components. The MAX1966 is
available in a low-cost 8-pin SO package. The MAX1967
is available in a 10-pin µMAX package.

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.

Note 1:
Specifications to -40°C are guaranteed by design and not production tested.
Note 2:
Thermal shutdown disables the buck regulator when the die reaches this temperature. Soft-start is reset and COMP/EN is
discharged to zero. In the MAX1967, the VL regulator remains on during thermal shutdown.
