Smallest 1A, 1.4MHz Step-Down Regulators
General Description
The MAX1973/MAX1974 are constant-frequency
1.4MHz pulse-width-modulated (PWM) current-mode
step-down regulators. The output voltage can be set as
low as 0.75V using an external voltage-divider, or it can
be set to preset outputs of 1V, 1.5V (MAX1974), 1.8V,
or 2.5V (MAX1973) without requiring external resistors.
The MAX1973 also includes a voltage-margining fea-
ture that offsets the output voltage up or down 4% to
facilitate board-level production testing.
A fixed 1.4MHz operating frequency ensures operation
outside the DSL frequency band, provides fast transient
response, and allows the use of small external compo-
nents. Only 4.7µF input and output ceramic capacitors
are needed for 1A applications. Forced PWM operation
ensures a constant switching frequency over all load
conditions.
Output voltage accuracy is ±1% over load, line, and
temperature operating ranges. The MAX1973 features
voltage margining; the MAX1974 provides a POK out-
put to indicate when the output has reached 90% of its
nominal regulation voltage. Both devices are available
in small 10-pin µMAX packages.

Note 1:
LX has internal clamp diodes to IN and PGND. Applications that forward bias these diodes should take care not to exceed
the IC package power dissipation limit.
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.
