MAX775
MAX775 is -5V/-12V/-15V or Adjustable / High-Efficiency / Low IQ Inverting DC-DC Controllers manufactured by Maxim Integrated.
Description
The MAX774/MAX775/MAX776 inverting switching regulators deliver high efficiency over three decades of load current. A unique current-limited, pulsefrequency modulated (PFM) control scheme provides the benefits of pulse-width modulation (high efficiency with heavy loads), while using less than 100µA of supply current (vs. 2m A to 10m A for PWM converters). The result is high efficiency over a wide range of loads.
These ICs also use tiny external ponents; their high switching frequency (up to 300k Hz) allows for less than 5mm diameter surface-mount magnetics.
The MAX774/MAX775/MAX776 accept input voltages from 3V to 16.5V, and have preset output voltages of -5V, -12V, and -15V, respectively. Or, the output voltage can be user-adjusted with two resistors. Maximum VIN
- VOUT differential voltage is limited only by the breakdown voltage of the chosen external switch transistor.
These inverters use external P-channel MOSFET switches, allowing them to power loads up to 5W. If less power is required, use the MAX764/MAX765/MAX766 inverting switching regulators with on-board MOSFETs.
