Figure 1. Standard Application Circuit
_____Standard Application Circuits
The predesigned MAX1638 circuit shown in Figure 1
meets a wide range of applications with output currents
up to 19A and higher. Use Table 1 to select compo-
nents appropriate for the desired output current range,
and adapt the evaluation kit PC board layout as neces-
sary. This circuit represent a good set of trade-offs
between cost, size, and efficiency while staying within
the worst-case specification limits for stress-related
parameters, such as capacitor ripple current.
The MAX1638 circuit was designed for the specified
frequency. Do not change the switching frequency
without first recalculating component values—particu-
larly the inductance, output filter capacitance, and RC1
resistance values. Table 2 lists the voltage adjustment
DAC codes.
_______________Detailed Description
The MAX1638 is a BiCMOS power-supply controller
designed for use in switch-mode, step-down (buck)
topology DC-DC converters. Synchronous rectification
provides high efficiency. It is intended to provide the
high precision, low noise, excellent transient response,
and high efficiency required in today’s most demand-
ing applications.
