MAX1556A Datasheet 1.2a Pwm Step-down DC-dc Converters

Manufacturer: Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices)

Overview: MAX1556/MAX1556A/MAX1557 19-3336; Rev 3; 1/11 EVAALVUAAILTAIOBNLEKIT 16µA IQ, 1.

This datasheet includes multiple variants, all published together in a single manufacturer document.

General Description

The MAX1556/MAX1556A/MAX1557 are low-operatingcurrent (16µA), fixed-frequency step-down regulators.

High efficiency, low-quiescent operating current, low dropout, and minimal (27µA) quiescent current in dropout make these converters ideal for powering portable devices from 1-cell Li-ion or 3-cell alkaline/NiMH batteries.

The MAX1556 delivers up to 1.2A;
