MAX1572
The MAX1572 is a fixed-frequency, synchronous step-
down DC-to-DC converter to power low-voltage micro-
processor/DSP cores in portable equipment requiring
high efficiency in a limited PC board area. The features
are optimized for high efficiency over a wide load range,
small external component size, low output ripple, and
excellent transient response. The input supply voltage
range is from 2.6V to 5.5V, while the output is internally
fixed from 0.75V to 2.5V in 50mV increments with a
guaranteed output current of 800mA. The high 2MHz
switching allows tiny low-cost capacitors and a low-pro-
file inductor, while the power-saving pulse-group mode
reduces quiescent current to 48µA (typ) with light loads.
To reduce noise and RF interference, the converter can
be configured to provide forced-PWM operation.
The MAX1572 includes a low on-resistance internal
MOSFET switch and synchronous rectifier to maximize
efficiency and minimize external component count. No
external diode is needed. Other features include soft-
start to eliminate inrush current at startup and a 170ms
(min)
RESET
output to provide power-on/undervoltage
reset. The MAX1572 is available in a 12-pin, 4mm x
4mm thin QFN package with exposed paddle.

Note 1:
LX has internal clamp diodes to PGND and BATT. 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.
