EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE
MAX77596
24V, 300mA, Buck Converter with 1.1µA I
Q
General Description
The MAX77596 is a small, synchronous buck converter
with integrated switches. The device is designed to
deliver up to 300mA with input voltages from 3.5V to
24V, while using only 1.1µA quiescent current at no load
(fixed-output version). Voltage quality can be monitored
by observing the
RESET
signal. The device can operate
near dropout by running at 98% duty cycle, making it ideal
for battery-powered applications.
The device offers fixed 3.3V and 5V output versions, as
well as an adjustable version. The adjustable version
allows the user to program the output voltage between 1V
and 10V by using a resistor-divider. Frequency is fixed at
1.7MHz, which allows for small external components and
reduced output ripple. The device offers both forced-PWM
and skip modes of operation, with ultra-low quiescent cur-
rent of 1.1µA in skip mode.
The MAX77596 is available in a small (2mm x 2.5mm)
10-pin TDFN package and operates across the -40°C to
+85°C temperature range.
