500kHz Multi-Output Power-Supply Controllers
with High Impedance in Shutdown
General Description
The MAX8741/MAX8742 are buck-topology, step-down,
switch-mode, power-supply controllers that generate
logic-supply voltages in battery-powered systems. These
high-performance, dual/triple-output devices include on-
board power-up sequencing, power-good signaling with
delay, digital soft-start, secondary winding control, low-
dropout circuitry, internal frequency-compensation net-
works, and automatic bootstrapping.
Up to 97% efficiency is achieved through synchronous
rectification and Maxim’s proprietary Idle Mode™ control
scheme. Efficiency is greater than 80% over a 1000:1
load-current range, which extends battery life in system
suspend or standby mode. Excellent dynamic response
corrects output load transients within five clock cycles.
Strong 1A on-board gate drivers ensure fast external
n-channel MOSFET switching.
These devices feature a logic-controlled and synchroniz-
able, fixed-frequency, pulse-width-modulation (PWM)
operating mode. This reduces noise and RF interference
in sensitive mobile communications and pen-entry appli-
cations. Asserting the SKIP pin enables fixed-frequency
mode, for lowest noise under all load conditions.
The MAX8741/MAX8742 include two PWM regulators,
adjustable from 2.5V to 5.5V with fixed 5.0V and 3.3V
modes. All these devices include secondary feedback
regulation, and the MAX8742 contains a 12V/120mA lin-
ear regulator. The MAX8741 includes a secondary feed-
back input (SECFB), plus a control pin (STEER) that
selects which PWM (3.3V or 5V) receives the secondary
feedback signal. SECFB provides a method for adjusting
the secondary winding voltage regulation point with an
external resistor-divider, and is intended to aid in creating
auxiliary voltages other than fixed 12V.
The MAX8741/MAX8742 contain internal output overvolt-
age- and undervoltage-protection features.
