Stresses beyond those listed under "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
DescriptionThe MAX8741/MAX8742 are buck-topology, step-down,switch-mode, power-supply controllers that generate logic-supply voltages in battery-powered systems. These high-performance, dual/triple-output devices MAX8741 include onboard power-up sequencing, power-good signaling with delay, digital soft-start, secondary winding control, lowdropout circuitry, internal frequency-compensation networks,and automatic bootstrapping.
Up to 97% efficiency is achieved through synchronous rectification and Maxim's proprietary Idle Mode™ control scheme. Efficiency of MAX8741 is greater than 80% over a 1000:1 load-current range, which extends battery life in system suspend or standby mode. Excellent dynamic response corrects output load transients within five clock cycles.Strong 1A on-board gate drivers of MAX8741 ensure fast external n-channel MOSFET switching.
These MAX8741 feature a logic-controlled and synchronizable,fixed-frequency, pulse-width-modulation (PWM) operating mode. This reduces noise and RF interference in sensitive mobile communications and pen-entry applications.Asserting the SKIP pin enables fixed-frequency mode, for lowest noise under all load conditions.
The MAX8741/MAX8742 include two PWM regulators,adjustable from 2.5V to 5.5V with fixed 5.0V and 3.3V modes. All these devices include secondary feedback regulation, and the MAX8742 contains a 12V/120mA linear regulator. The MAX8741 includes a secondary feedback input (SECFB), plus a control pin (STEER) that selects which PWM (3.3V or 5V) receives the secondary feedback signal. SECFB provides a method for adjusting the secondary winding voltage regulation point with an external resistor-divider, and is intended to aid in creating auxiliary voltages other than fixed 12V.
The MAX8741/MAX8742 contain internal output overvoltage-and undervoltage-protection features.
