MAX640 Datasheet Step-Down DC-DC Converters

Manufacturer: Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices)

Overview: 19-4505; Rev 3; 8/97 KIT ATION D EVALU CLUDE IN N IO T A M R O INF 5V/3.

General Description

The MAX639/MAX640/MAX653 step-down switching regulators provide high efficiency over a wide range of load currents, delivering up to 225mA.

A current-limiting pulse-frequency-modulated (PFM) control scheme gives the devices the benefits of pulse-width-modulated (PWM) converters (high efficiency at heavy loads), while using only 10µA of supply current (vs.

2mA to 10mA for PWM converters).
