500kHz Multi-Output Power-Supply Controllers with High Impedance in Shutdown
General 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 include on-
board power-up sequencing, power-good signaling with
delay, digital soft-start, secondary winding control, low-
dropout circuitry, internal frequency-compensation net-
works, and automatic bootstrapping.
Up to 97% efficiency is achieved through synchronous
rectification and Maxim’s proprietary Idle Mode™ control
scheme. Efficiency 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 ensure fast external
n-channel MOSFET switching.
These devices feature a logic-controlled and synchroniz-
able, fixed-frequency, pulse-width-modulation (PWM)
operating mode. This reduces noise and RF interference
in sensitive mobile communications and pen-entry appli-
cations. Asserting the SKIPpin 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 lin-
ear regulator. The MAX8741 includes a secondary feed-
back 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 overvolt-
age- and undervoltage-protection features.

Note 1:Each of the four digital soft-start levels is tested for functionality; the steps are typically in 20mV increments.
Note 2:High duty-factor operation supports low input-to-output differential voltages, and is achieved at a lowered operating frequency
(see theDropout Operation section).
Note 3:Off mode for the MAX8742 12V linear regulator occurs when the SMPS that has flyback feedback (VDD) steered to it is disabled.
In situations where the main outputs are being held up by external keep-alive supplies, turning off the 12OUT regulator prevents
a leakage path from the output-referred flyback winding, through the rectifier, and into VDD.
Note 4:Since the reference uses VLas its supply, the reference’s V+ line-regulation error is insignificant.
Note 5:Production testing limitations due to package handling require relaxed maximum on-resistance specifications for the thin
QFN package. The SSOP and thin QFN packages contain the same die, and the thin QFN package imposes no additional
resistance in circuit.
Note 6:Specifications from 0°C to -40°C are guaranteed by design, not production tested.

500kHz Multi-Output Power-Supply Controllers
with High Impedance in Shutdown
Standard Application CircuitThe basic MAX8741 dual-output 3.3V/5V buck converter
(Figure 1) is easily adapted to meet a wide range of
applications with inputs up to 28V by substituting com-
ponents from Table 1. These circuits represent a good
set of tradeoffs between cost, size, and efficiency,
while staying within the worst-case specification limits
for stress-related parameters, such as capacitor ripple
current. Do not change the frequency of these circuits
without first recalculating component values (particularly
inductance value at maximum battery voltage). Adding
a Schottky rectifier across each synchronous rectifier
improves the efficiency of these circuits by approxi-
mately 1%, but this rectifier is otherwise not needed
because the MOSFETs required for these circuits typi-
cally incorporate a high-speed silicon diode from drain
to source. Use a Schottky rectifier rated at a DC current
equal to at least one-third of the load current.
Detailed DescriptionThe MAX8741/MAX8742 are dual, BiCMOS, switch-
mode power-supply controllers designed primarily for
buck-topology regulators in battery-powered applica-
tions where high-efficiency and low-quiescent supply
current are critical. Light-load efficiency is enhanced by
automatic idle-mode operation, a variable-frequency
pulse-skipping mode that reduces transition and gate-
charge losses. Each step-down, power-switching cir-
cuit consists of two n-channel MOSFETs, a rectifier,
and an LC output filter. The output voltage is the aver-
age AC voltage at the switching node, which is regulat-
ed by changing the duty cycle of the MOSFET
switches. The gate-drive signal to the n-channel high-
side MOSFET must exceed the battery voltage, and is
provided by a flying-capacitor boost circuit that uses a
100nF capacitor connected to BST_.

AX8742
500kHz Multi-Output Power-Supply Controllers
with High Impedance in ShutdownThe MAX8741/MAX8742 contain 10 major circuit blocks
(Figure 2).
The two pulse-width-modulation (PWM) controllers
each consist of a dual-mode feedback network and
multiplexer, a multi-input PWM comparator, high-side
and low-side gate drivers, and logic. The MAX8741/
MAX8742 contain fault-protection circuits that monitor
the main PWM outputs for undervoltage and overvolt-
age. A power-on sequence block controls the power-
up timing of the main PWMs and determines whether
one or both of the outputs are monitored for undervoltage
faults. The MAX8742 includes a secondary feedback net-
work and 12V linear regulator to generate a 12V output
from a coupled-inductor flyback winding. The MAX8741
has a secondary feedback input (SECFB) instead, which
allows a quasi-regulated, adjustable output, coupled-
inductor flyback winding to be attached to either the 3.3V
or the 5V main inductor. Bias generator blocks include
the 5V IC internal rail (VL) linear regulator, 2.5V precision
reference, and automatic bootstrap switchover circuit.
The PWMs share a common 333kHz/500kHz synchroniz-
able oscillator.
These internal IC blocks are not powered directly from
the battery. Instead, the 5V VLlinear regulator steps
down the battery voltage to supply both VLand the
gate drivers. The synchronous-switch gate drivers are
directly powered from VL, while the high-side switch
gate drivers are indirectly powered from VLby an exter-
nal diode-capacitor boost circuit. An automatic boot-
strap circuit turns off the 5V linear regulator and powers
the IC from the 5V PWM output voltage if the output is
above 4.5V.
PWM Controller BlockThe two PWM controllers are nearly identical. The only
differences are fixed output settings (3.3V vs. 5V), the
VL/CSL5 bootstrap switch connected to the 5V PWM,
and SECFB. The heart of each current-mode PWM con-
troller is a multi-input, open-loop comparator that sums
three signals: the output-voltage error signal with
respect to the reference voltage, the current-sense sig-
nal, and the slope-compensation ramp (Figure 3). The
PWM controller is a direct-summing type, lacking a tra-
ditional error amplifier and the phase shift associated
with it. This direct-summing configuration approaches
ideal cycle-by-cycle control over the output voltage.
When SKIP= low, idle-mode circuitry automatically
optimizes efficiency throughout the load current range.
Idle mode dramatically improves light-load efficiency
by reducing the effective frequency, which reduces
switching losses. It keeps the peak inductor current
above 25% of the full current limit in an active cycle,
allowing subsequent cycles to be skipped. Idle mode
transitions seamlessly to fixed-frequency PWM opera-
tion as load current increases.
With SKIP= high, the controller always operates in fixed-
frequency PWM mode for lowest noise. Each pulse from
the oscillator sets the main PWM latch that turns on the
high-side switch for a period determined by the duty fac-
tor (approximately VOUT/ VIN). As the high-side switch
turns off, the synchronous-rectifier latch sets; 60ns later,
the low-side switch turns on. The low-side switch stays on
until the beginning of the next clock cycle.
In PWM mode, the controller operates as a fixed-fre-
quency current-mode controller where the duty ratio is
set by the input/output voltage ratio. The current-mode
feedback system regulates the peak inductor-current
value as a function of the output-voltage error signal. In
continuous-conduction mode, the average inductor
current is nearly the same as the peak current, so the
circuit acts as a switch-mode transconductance ampli-
fier. This pushes the second output LC filter pole, nor-
mally found in a duty-factor-controlled (voltage-mode)
PWM, to a higher frequency. To preserve inner-loop
stability and eliminate regenerative inductor current
“staircasing,” a slope-compensation ramp is summed
into the main PWM comparator to make the apparent
duty factor less than 50%.
The MAX8741/MAX8742 use a relatively low loop gain,
allowing the use of lower-cost output capacitors. The
relative gains of the voltage-sense and current-sense
inputs are weighted by the values of current sources
that bias three differential input stages in the main PWM
comparator (Figure 4). The relative gain of the voltage
comparator to the current comparator is internally fixed
at K = 2:1. The low loop gain results in the 2% typical
load-regulation error. The low value of loop gain helps
reduce output-filter-capacitor size and cost by shifting
the unity-gain crossover frequency to a lower level.

500kHz Multi-Output Power-Supply Controllers
with High Impedance in ShutdownThe output filter capacitors (Figure 1, C1 and C2) set a
dominant pole in the feedback loop that must roll off the
loop gain to unity before encountering the zero intro-
duced by the output capacitor’s parasitic resistance
(ESR) (see the Design Procedure section). A 50kHz
pole-zero cancellation filter provides additional rolloff
above the unity-gain crossover. This internal 50kHz
lowpass compensation filter cancels the zero due to fil-
ter-capacitor ESR. The 50kHz filter is included in the
loop in both fixed-output and adjustable-output modes.
Synchronous Rectifier Driver (DL)Synchronous rectification reduces conduction losses in
the rectifier by shunting the normal Schottky catch
diode with a low-resistance MOSFET switch. Also, the
synchronous rectifier ensures proper startup of the
boost gate-driver circuit.
If the circuit is operating in continuous-conduction
mode, the DL drive waveform is the complement of the
DH high-side drive waveform (with controlled dead time
to prevent cross-conduction or “shoot-through”). In dis-
continuous (light-load) mode, the synchronous switch is
turned off as the inductor current falls through zero. The
synchronous rectifier works under all operating condi-
tions, including idle mode.
The SECFB signal further controls the synchronous switch
timing in order to improve multiple-output cross-regulation
(see the Secondary Feedback Regulation Loopsection).
Internal VLand REF SuppliesAn internal regulator produces the 5V supply (VL) that
powers the PWM controller, logic, reference, and other
blocks within the IC. This 5V low-dropout linear regula-
tor supplies up to 25mA for external loads, with a
reserve of 25mA for supplying gate-drive power.
Bypass VLto GND with 4.7µF.
Important:Ensure that VLdoes not exceed 6V.
Measure VLwith the main output fully loaded. If it is
pumped above 5.5V, either excessive boost-diode
capacitance or excessive ripple at V+ is the probable
cause. Use only small-signal diodes for the boost cir-
cuit (10mA to 100mA Schottky or 1N4148 are pre-
ferred), and bypass V+ to PGND with 4.7µF directly at
the package pins.

500kHz Multi-Output Power-Supply Controllers
with High Impedance in ShutdownThe 2.5V reference (REF) is accurate to ±2% over tem-
perature, making REF useful as a precision system ref-
erence. Bypass REF to GND with 1µF (min). REF can
supply up to 5mA for external loads. (Bypass REF with
a minimum 1µF/mA reference load current.) However, if
extremely accurate specifications for both the main out-
put voltages and REF are essential, avoid loading REF
more than 100µA. Loading REF reduces the main out-
put voltage slightly, because of the reference load-
regulation error.
When the 5V main output voltage is above 4.5V, an inter-
nal p-channel MOSFET switch connects CSL5 to VL,
while simultaneously shutting down the VLlinear regula-
tor. This action bootstraps the IC, powering the internal
circuitry from the output voltage, rather than through a
linear regulator from the battery. Bootstrapping reduces
power dissipation due to gate charge and quiescent
losses by providing that power from a 90%-efficient
switch-mode source, rather than from a much-less-effi-
cient linear regulator.
Boost High-Side Gate-Drive Supply
(BST3 and BST5)Gate-drive voltage for the high-side n-channel switches is
generated by a flying-capacitor boost circuit (Figure 2).
The capacitor between BST_ and LX_ is alternately
charged from the VLsupply and placed parallel to the
high-side MOSFET’s gate-source terminals. On startup,
the synchronous rectifier (low-side MOSFET) forces LX_
to 0V and charges the boost capacitors to 5V. On the
second half-cycle, the SMPS turns on the high-side
MOSFET by closing an internal switch between BST_ and
DH_. This provides the necessary enhancement voltage
to turn on the high-side switch, an action that “boosts” the
5V gate-drive signal above the battery voltage.
Ringing at the high-side MOSFET gate (DH3 and DH5)
in discontinuous-conduction mode (light loads) is a nat-
ural operating condition. It is caused by residual ener-
gy in the tank circuit, formed by the inductor and stray
capacitance at the switching node, LX. The gate-drive
negative rail is referred to LX, so any ringing there is
directly coupled to the gate-drive output.
Current-Limiting and Current-Sense
Inputs (CSH and CSL)The current-limit circuit resets the main PWM latch and
turns off the high-side MOSFET switch whenever the
voltage difference between CSH and CSL exceeds
100mV. This limiting is effective for both current flow
directions, putting the threshold limit at ±100mV. The
tolerance on the positive current limit is ±20%, so the
external low-value sense resistor (R1) must be sized for
80mV / IPEAK, where IPEAKis the required peak induc-
tor current to support the full load current, while compo-
nents must be designed to withstand continuous-
current stresses of 120mV/R1.
For breadboarding or for very-high-current applica-
tions, it may be useful to wire the current-sense inputs
with a twisted pair, rather than PC traces. (This twisted
pair need not be special; two pieces of wire-wrap wire
twisted together is sufficient.) This reduces the possible
noise picked up at CSH_ and CSL_, which can cause
unstable switching and reduced output current. The
CSL5 input also serves as the IC’s bootstrap supply
input. Whenever VCSL5> 4.5V, an internal switch con-
nects CSL5 to VL.
Oscillator Frequency and
Synchronization (SYNC)The SYNC input controls the oscillator frequency. Low
selects 333kHz; high selects 500kHz. SYNC can also
be used to synchronize with an external 5V CMOS or
TTL clock generator. SYNC has a guaranteed 400kHz
to 583kHz capture range. A high-to-low transition on
SYNC initiates a new cycle.
Operating at 500kHz optimizes the application circuit for
component size and cost; 333kHz operation provides
increased efficiency, lower dropout, and improved load-
transient response at low input-output voltage differ-
ences (see the Low-Voltage Operation section).
Shutdown ModeHoldingSHDNlow puts the IC into its 4µA shutdown
mode. SHDNis logic input with a threshold of about 1V
(the VTHof an internal n-channel MOSFET). For automatic
startup, bypass SHDNto GND with a 0.01µF capacitor
and connect it to V+ through a 220kΩresistor.
Power-Up Sequencing and
ON/OFFControlsStartup is controlled by RUN/ON3 and TIME/ON5 in
conjunction with SEQ. With SEQ connected to REF, the
two control inputs act as separate ON/OFFcontrols for
each supply. With SEQ connected to VLor GND,
RUN/ON3 becomes the master ON/OFFcontrol input
and TIME/ON5 becomes a timing pin, with the delay
between the two supplies determined by an external
capacitor. The delay is approximately 800µs/nF. The
3.3V supply powers up first if SEQ is connected to VL,
and the 5V supply is first if SEQ is connected to GND.
When driving TIME/ON5 as a control input with external
logic, always place a resistor (>1kΩ) in series with the
input. This prevents possible crowbar current due to
the internal discharge pulldown transistor, which turns
on in standby mode and momentarily at the first power-
up or in shutdown mode.
