_______________General Description

The MAX649/MAX651/MAX652 BiCMOS, step-down DC-
DC switching controllers provide high efficiency over
three decades of load current. A unique, current-limited
pulse-frequency-modulated (PFM) control scheme gives
these devices the benefits of pulse-width-modulation
(PWM) converters (high efficiency at heavy loads), while
using only 100µA of supply current (vs. 2mA to 10mA for
PWM converters). The result is high efficiency over loads
ranging from 10mA to more than 2.5A.

These devices use miniature external components.
Their high switching frequency (up to 300kHz) allows
for less than 9mm diameter surface-mount inductors.

The MAX649/MAX651/MAX652 have dropout voltages
less than 1V and accept input voltages up to 16.5V.
Output voltages are preset at 5V (MAX649), 3.3V
(MAX651), and 3V (MAX652). These controllers can
also be adjusted to any voltage from 1.5V to the input
voltage by using two resistors.

These step-down controllers drive external P-channel
MOSFETs at loads greater than 10W. If less power is
required, use the MAX639/MAX640/MAX653 step-down
converters with on-chip FETs, which allow up to a
225mA load current.
