MAX1837
24V Internal Switch, 100% Duty Cycle, Step-Down Converters
General DescriptionThe MAX1836/MAX1837 high-efficiency step-down con-
verters provide a preset 3.3V or 5V output voltage from
supply voltages as high as 24V. Using external feedback
resistors, the output voltage can be adjusted from 1.25V
to VIN. An internal current-limited switching MOSFET
delivers load currents up to 125mA (MAX1836) or 250mA
(MAX1837).
The unique current-limited control scheme, operating
with duty cycles up to 100%, minimizes the dropout volt-
age (120mV at 100mA). Additionally, this control scheme reduces supply current under light loads to 12μA. High
switching frequencies allow the use of tiny surface-mount
inductors and output capacitors.
The MAX1836/MAX1837 step-down converters with inter-
nal switching MOSFETs are available in 6-pin SOT23
and 3mm x 3mm TDFN packages, making them ideal
for low-cost, low-power, space-sensitive applications.
For increased output drive capability, use the MAX1776
step-down converter that uses an internal 24V switch to
deliver up to 500mA. For even higher currents, use the
MAX1626/MAX1627 step-down controllers that drive an
external P-channel MOSFET to deliver up to 20W.
