Product details
Overview
MAX1572ETC075 from Maxim Integrated is a fixed-frequency, synchronous step-down DC-DC converter designed to power low-voltage microprocessor/DSP cores in portable electronics. It delivers a factory-trimmed 0.75V output at up to 800mA, operates from 2.6V–5.5V input, and uses 2MHz PWM switching with integrated P- and N-channel MOSFETs - enabling compact designs for space-constrained battery-powered systems like smartphones and digital cameras.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1572ETC075 datasheet, MAX1572ETC075 pinout, MAX1572ETC075 application, or MAX1572ETC075 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.75V fixed output, 48µA quiescent current in pulse-group mode, 170ms RESET timeout, voltage-positioning load transient response, and compatibility with tiny 2.2µH inductors and 10µF ceramic capacitors.
Technical Context
The MAX1572ETC075 implements a current-mode PWM control architecture with internal slope compensation, enabling stable regulation across wide load ranges and fast transient response. Its dual-MOSFET synchronous rectification eliminates external diode requirements and supports 100% duty-cycle operation near dropout.
Three selectable operating modes - pulse-group (48µA IQ), pulse-skip, and forced-PWM - are controlled via EN1/EN2 logic inputs, allowing dynamic trade-offs between efficiency, ripple, and noise. The device integrates a soft-start circuit (SS pin), open-drain RESET output referenced to OUT, and ABATT analog supply filtering for noise immunity.

Pinout & Package
MAX1572ETC075 is housed in a 12-pin, 4mm × 4mm thin QFN package with exposed thermal paddle (EP), optimized for high-power-density portable PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 RESET | Open-drain reset output | Pulled low until VOUT stabilizes ≥90% of 0.75V; internal 14kΩ pullup to OUT |
| 2 SS | Soft-start timing control | Capacitor-to-GND sets startup ramp; discharges internally at shutdown (100Ω) |
| 3,5,11 GND | Digital ground reference | Must connect all three pins and exposed paddle to common low-impedance ground plane |
| 4 OUT | Output voltage sense input | Direct connection to regulator output; internal 14kΩ discharge path to GND in shutdown |
| 6 EN2 | Enable/Mode control input | Logic input defining operating mode per truth table (e.g., EN1=0, EN2=1 → pulse-group) |
| 7 PGND | Power ground return | Low-inductance path for LX switching current; connects directly to exposed paddle |
| 8 LX | Switch node | Connects to inductor; high-impedance in shutdown; contains internal clamp diodes to PGND/BATT |
| 9 BATT | Main power input | 2.6V–5.5V supply; requires local 10µF ceramic bypass to GND |
| 10 EN1 | Enable/Mode control input | Paired with EN2 to select shutdown, pulse-group, pulse-skip, or forced-PWM mode |
| 12 ABATT | Analog supply filter input | Filtered version of BATT via 10Ω + 0.1µF RC network - improves PSRR and noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

| 170ms RESET timer | Guaranteed minimum delay ensures robust power-on reset for DSP/microprocessor core sequencing |
| 2MHz fixed-frequency PWM | Enables <2.5mm² total passive area (2.2µH + 10µF) - critical for ultra-thin mobile PCBs |

FAQ
What output voltage does the MAX1572ETC075 provide?
The MAX1572ETC075 provides a factory-trimmed fixed output voltage of 0.75V with ±2% accuracy over temperature and load. This value is laser-trimmed during production and cannot be adjusted externally - ensuring consistent core supply voltage for low-power microprocessors and DSPs without requiring feedback resistor networks.
How does the MAX1572ETC075 achieve ultra-low quiescent current?
The MAX1572ETC075 achieves 48µA typical quiescent current in pulse-group mode by dynamically powering down nonessential internal circuitry when the output voltage rises 0.8% above nominal regulation. During light-load conditions, this mode cycles the controller on/off to minimize average supply current while maintaining regulation - a key advantage for battery longevity in portable systems using MAX1572ETC075.
Does the MAX1572ETC075 require an external Schottky diode?
No, the MAX1572ETC075 does not require an external Schottky diode. It integrates both a high-side P-channel and low-side N-channel MOSFET for synchronous rectification, eliminating conduction losses and thermal overhead associated with discrete diodes - reducing component count and improving efficiency across the full 0–800mA load range of MAX1572ETC075.
What is the purpose of the ABATT pin on the MAX1572ETC075?
The ABATT pin on the MAX1572ETC075 provides a filtered analog supply path derived from BATT through an integrated 10Ω resistor and external 0.1µF capacitor to GND. This dedicated low-noise rail powers sensitive analog blocks (error amplifier, reference, PWM comparator), improving PSRR and reducing switching noise coupling into the feedback loop - directly enhancing regulation accuracy and stability of MAX1572ETC075.
Can the MAX1572ETC075 operate with 100% duty cycle?
Yes, the MAX1572ETC075 supports 100% duty-cycle operation when the input voltage approaches the 0.75V output, enabling minimal dropout performance. In this mode, the high-side P-channel MOSFET remains fully enhanced (non-switching), and regulation relies solely on its RDS(ON)P - resulting in VDROPOUT = IOUT × (RDS(ON)P + inductor DCR), as specified in the MAX1572ETC075 electrical characteristics table.
