MAX8833
The MAX8833 high-efficiency, dual step-down regulator
is capable of delivering up to 3A at each output. The
device operates from a 2.35V to 3.6V supply, and pro-
vides output voltages from 0.6V to 0.9 x V
IN
, making it
ideal for on-board point-of-load applications. Total output
error is less than ±1% over load, line, and temperature.
The MAX8833 operates in PWM mode with a switching
frequency ranging from 0.5MHz to 2MHz, set by an
external resistor. It can also be synchronized to an
external clock in the same frequency range. Two inter-
nal switching regulators operate 180° out-of-phase to
reduce the input ripple current, and consequently
reduce the required input capacitance. The high
operating frequency minimizes the size of external
components. High efficiency, internal dual-nMOS
design keeps the board cool under heavy loads. The
voltage-mode control architecture and the high-band-
width (> 15MHz typ) voltage-error amplifier allow a type
III compensation scheme to be utilized to achieve fast
response under both line and load transients, and also
allow for ceramic output capacitors.
Programmable soft-start reduces input inrush current.
Two enable inputs allow the turning on/off of each out-
put individually, resulting in great flexibility for system-
level designs. A reference input is provided to facilitate
output-voltage tracking applications. The MAX8833 is
available in a 32-pin thin QFN (5mm x 5mm) package
with 0.8mm max height.

LX_ have internal clamp diodes to PGND_ and IN_. 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.
