High-Efficiency, Low-I
Q
, PMICs with Dynamic
Voltage Management for Mobile Applications
General Description
The MAX8660/MAX8661 power management ICs
(PMICs) power applications processors (APs) in smart
cellular phones, PDAs, Internet appliances, and other
portable devices.
Four step-down DC-DC outputs, three linear regulators,
and an 8th always-on LDO are integrated with power-
management functions. Two dynamically controlled DC-
DC outputs power the processor core and internal mem-
ory. Two other DC-DC converters power I/O, memory,
and other peripherals. Additional functions include on/off
control for outputs, low-battery detection, reset output,
and a 2-wire I
2
C serial interface. The MAX8661 functions
the same as the MAX8660, except it lacks the REG1
step-down regulator and the REG7 linear regulator.
All step-down DC-to-DC outputs use fast 2MHz PWM
switching and tiny external components. They automati-
cally switch from PWM to high-efficiency, light-load
operation to reduce operating current and extend bat-
tery life. In addition, a forced-PWM option allows low-
noise operation at all loads. Overvoltage lockout pro-
tects the device against inputs up to 7.5V.

Note 1:
LX_ has internal clamp diodes to PG_ and PV_. Applications that forward bias these diodes must 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.
