2.5A Step-Down Regulator
with Remote Sense in 2mm x 2mm WLP
General Description
The MAX8952 high-efficiency DC-to-DC step-down
switching regulator delivers up to 2.5A of output current.
The device operates from a 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage
range, supporting commonly-used battery technologies
in handsets. The output voltage is I
2
C programmable
from 0.77V to 1.40V. Remote sense ensures precise DC
regulation at the load. Total output error is less than
±1.5% over load, line, and temperature.
The IC operates at a 3.25MHz fixed frequency. The high
operating frequency minimizes the size of external com-
ponents. The switching frequency of the converter can be
synchronized to the master clock of the application. When
synchronizing to an external clock, the IC measures the
frequency of the external clock to ensure that the clock is
stable before changing the switching frequency to the
external clock frequency.
An on-board DAC allows adjustment of the output volt-
age in 10mV steps. The output voltage can be pro-
grammed directly through the I
2
C interface, or by
preloading a set of on-board registers and using the
two VID logic signals to select the appropriate register.
Other features include internal soft-start control circuitry
to reduce inrush current, output overvoltage, overcur-
rent, and overtemperature protection.

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.
