5V-to-3.3V, Synchronous, Step-Down
Power-Supply Controller
_______________General Description
The MAX767 is a high-efficiency, synchronous buck
controller IC dedicated to converting a fixed 5V supply
into a tightly regulated 3.3V output. Two key features set
this device apart from similar, low-voltage step-down
switching regulators: high operating frequency and all
N-channel construction in the application circuit. The
300kHz operating frequency results in very small, low-
cost external surface-mount components.
The inductor, at 3.3µH for 5A, is physically at least five
times smaller than inductors found in competing solu-
tions. All N-channel construction and synchronous rectifi-
cation result in reduced cost and highest efficiency.
Efficiency exceeds 90% over a wide range of loading,
eliminating the need for heatsinking. Output capacitance
requirements are low, reducing board space and cost.
The MAX767 is a monolithic BiCMOS IC available in
20-pin SSOP packages. For other fixed output voltages
and package options, please consult the factory.
