DESCRIPTION
The MAX730A accepts inputs between 5.2V and 11V and delivers 450mA for inputs above 6V. Typical efficiencies are 85% to 96%. Quiescent supply current is 1.7mA and only 6µA in shutdown. Pulse-width modulation (PWM) current-mode control provides precise output regulation and excellent transient responses. Output voltage accuracy is guaranteed to be ±5% over line, load, and temperature variations. Fixed-frequency switching allows easy filtering of output ripple and noise, as well as the use of small external components. These regulators require only a single inductor value to work in most applications, so no inductor design is necessary. The MAX730A/MAX738A/MAX744A also feature cycleby-cycle current limiting, overcurrent limiting, undervoltage lockout, and programmable soft-start protection. ___________________________Applications Portable Instruments Cellular Phones and Radios Personal Communicators Distributed Power Systems Computer Peripherals __________Typical Operating Ci...
