________________General Description
The MAX1630A–MAX1635A are buck-topology, step-
down, switch-mode, power-supply controllers that gener-
ate logic-supply voltages in battery-powered systems.
These high-performance, dual-/triple-output devices
include on-board power-up sequencing, power-good
signaling with delay, digital soft-start, secondary winding
control, low-dropout circuitry, internal frequency-com-
pensation networks, and automatic bootstrapping.
Up to 96% efficiency is achieved through synchronous
rectification and Maxim’s proprietary Idle Mode™ control
scheme. Efficiency is greater than 80% over a 1000:1
load-current range, which extends battery life in system-
suspend or standby mode. Excellent dynamic response
corrects output load transients caused by the latest
dynamic-clock CPUs within five 300kHz clock cycles.
Strong 1A on-board gate drivers ensure fast external
n-channel MOSFET switching.
These devices feature a logic-controlled and synchroniz-
able, fixed-frequency, pulse-width-modulation (PWM)
operating mode. This reduces noise and RF interference
in sensitive mobile communications and pen-entry appli-
cations. Asserting the
SKIP
pin enables fixed-frequency
mode for lowest noise under all load conditions.
The MAX1630A–MAX1635A include two PWM regulators,
adjustable from 2.5V to 5.5V with fixed 5.0V and 3.3V
modes. All these devices include secondary feedback
regulation, and the MAX1630A/MAX1632A/MAX1633A/
MAX1635A each contain 12V/120mA linear regulators.
The MAX1631A/MAX1634A include a secondary feed-
back input (SECFB), plus a control pin (STEER) that
selects which PWM (3.3V or 5V) receives the secondary
feedback signal. SECFB provides a method for adjusting
the secondary winding voltage regulation point with an
external resistor-divider, and is intended to aid in creating
auxiliary voltages other than fixed 12V.
The MAX1630A/MAX1631A/MAX1632A contain internal
output overvoltage and undervoltage protection features.
The MAX1630A family has improved RF immunity over
the MAX1630 family.

Note 1:
Each of the four digital soft-start levels is tested for functionality; the steps are typically in 20mV increments.
Note 2:
High duty-factor operation supports low input-to-output differential voltages, and is achieved at a lowered operating
frequency (see
Overload and Dropout Operation
section).
Note 3:
MAX1630A/MAX1632A/MAX1633A/MAX1635A only.
Note 4:
Off mode for the 12V linear regulator occurs when the SMPS that has flyback feedback (V
DD
) steered to it is disabled. In
situations where the main outputs are being held up by external keep-alive supplies, turning off the 12OUT regulator pre-
vents a leakage path from the output-referred flyback winding, through the rectifier, and into V
DD
.
Note 5:
Since the reference uses VL as its supply, the reference’s V+ line-regulation error is insignificant.
