MAX1652–MAX1655
The MAX1652–MAX1655 are high-efficiency, pulse-
width-modulated (PWM), step-down DC-DC controllers
in small QSOP packages. The MAX1653/MAX1655 also
come in 16-pin narrow SO packages that are pin-
compatible upgrades to the popular MAX797. Improve-
ments include higher duty-cycle operation for better
dropout, lower quiescent supply currents for better
light-load efficiency, and an output voltage down to 1V
(MAX1655).
The MAX1652–MAX1655 achieve up to 96% efficiency
and deliver up to 10A using a unique Idle Mode™ syn-
chronous-rectified PWM control scheme. These devices
automatically switch between PWM operation at heavy
loads and pulse-frequency-modulated (PFM) operation
at light loads to optimize efficiency over the entire out-
put current range. The MAX1653/MAX1655 also feature
logic-controlled, forced PWM operation for noise-sensi-
tive applications.
All devices operate with a selectable 150kHz/300kHz
switching frequency, which can also be synchronized
to an external clock signal. Both external power switch-
es are inexpensive N-channel MOSFETs, which provide
low resistance while saving space and reducing cost.
The MAX1652 and MAX1654 have an additional feed-
back pin that permits regulation of a low-cost second
output tapped from a transformer winding. The
MAX1652 provides an additional positive output. The
MAX1654 provides an additional negative output.
The MAX1652–MAX1655 have a 4.5V to 30V input volt-
age range. The MAX1652/MAX1653/MAX1654’s output
range is 2.5V to 5.5V while the MAX1655’s output range
extends down to 1V. An evaluation kit (MAX1653EVKIT)
is available to speed designs.

Note 1:
Since the reference uses VL as its supply, V+ line-regulation error is insignificant.
Note 2:
At very low input voltages, quiescent supply current may increase due to excessive PNP base current in the VL linear
regulator. This occurs if V+ falls below the preset VL regulation point (5V nominal).
