_______________General Description

The MAX727/MAX728/MAX729 are monolithic, bipolar,
pulse-width modulation (PWM), switch-mode, step-down
DC-DC regulators. Each is rated at 2A. Very few external
components are needed for standard operation because
the power switch, oscillator, feedback, and control circuitry
are all on-chip. Employing a classic buck topology, these
regulators perform high-current step-down functions.

These regulators have excellent dynamic and transient
response characteristics, while featuring cycle-by-cycle cur-
rent limiting to protect against overcurrent faults and short-
circuit output faults. They also have a wide 8V to 40V input
range.

Each regulator is available in a 5-pin TO-220 package.
These devices have a preset 100kHz oscillator frequency
and a preset current limit of 2.6A. See the MAX724/
MAX726 data sheet for more applications information.
