MAX17620
4MHz, Miniature 600mA, Synchronous Step-Down DC-DC Converter with Integrated MOSFETs
General Description
The MAX17620 is a high-frequency, high-efficiency synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with integrated MOSFETs that operates over a 2.7V to 5.5V input voltage range. The device supports up to 600mA load current and 1.5V to 100% VIN output voltage. High-frequency operation enables the use of small, low-cost inductors and capacitors.
The device features selectable PWM/skip mode of operation at light loads and operates at a 4MHz fixedfrequency in PWM mode. Skip mode improves system efficiency at light loads, while PWM mode maintains a constant switching frequency over the entire load. In skip mode, the device draws only 40µA of quiescent current from the supply input.
