Product details
Overview
MAX1572ETC130+ from Maxim Integrated is a fixed-frequency, synchronous step-down DC-DC converter optimized for powering 1.30V microprocessor/DSP cores in space-constrained portable electronics. It delivers up to 800mA output current from a 2.6V–5.5V input, operates at 2MHz switching frequency, achieves up to 97% efficiency, and integrates a 170ms (min) active-low RESET output. It is used in smartphones and digital cameras where compact size and high light-load efficiency are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1572ETC130+ datasheet, MAX1572ETC130+ pinout, MAX1572ETC130+ application, or MAX1572ETC130+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.30V preset output voltage, 48µA typical quiescent current in pulse-group mode, 12-pin 4mm × 4mm thin QFN package with exposed paddle, and support for forced-PWM, pulse-skip, and pulse-group operating modes.
Technical Context
The MAX1572ETC130+ employs a 2MHz fixed-frequency current-mode PWM control architecture with internal slope compensation to ensure stability and fast transient response. Its dual-MOSFET synchronous rectification eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode and enables 100% duty-cycle operation near dropout.
It implements voltage positioning to match load regulation with transient droop-reducing total output voltage variation by half-and features three selectable power-saving modes (pulse-group, pulse-skip, forced-PWM) controlled via EN1/EN2 logic inputs. The integrated 170ms RESET timer monitors VOUT against 90% of nominal and asserts open-drain low on undervoltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.30V ±2% (voltage-positioning enabled; supports tight core rail tolerance) |
| Max Output Current | 800mA continuous (supports DSP/microprocessor core loads without derating) |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.6V to 5.5V (compatible with single-cell Li-ion, Li-poly, or 3.3V/5V system rails) |
| Switching Frequency | 2MHz ±10% (enables use of tiny 2.2µH inductor and 10µF ceramic output capacitor) |
| Quiescent Current | 48µA typical in pulse-group mode (extends battery life in standby/sleep states) |
| RESET Delay | 170ms minimum after VOUT reaches 90% (ensures reliable power-on reset for processors) |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1µA typical (minimizes battery drain during full system shutdown) |
| Efficiency Peak | Up to 97% at mid-load (reduces thermal stress and improves power density) |
Pinout & Package
MAX1572ETC130+ is housed in a 12-pin, 4mm × 4mm × 0.8mm thin QFN package with exposed thermal paddle (EP), rated for -40°C to +85°C operation. The exposed paddle must be soldered to a PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (RESET) | Open-drain reset output | Pulled low until VOUT stabilizes at ≥90% of 1.30V; internal 14kΩ pullup to OUT ensures clean processor reset signaling |
| 2 (SS) | Soft-start control | Connects to GND via capacitor (e.g., 1000pF) to linearly ramp output voltage and eliminate inrush current |
| 3, 5, 11 (GND) | Signal ground | Must be tied to exposed paddle and PGND; provides low-impedance return path for feedback and logic circuits |
| 4 (OUT) | Output voltage sense | Direct connection to regulated output node; internal discharge path to GND in shutdown prevents floating bias |
| 6 (EN2) | Enable/Mode control input 2 | Logic input defining operating mode per truth table (e.g., EN1=0, EN2=1 → pulse-group mode) |
| 7 (PGND) | Power ground | Primary return path for high-current LX switching node; must connect directly to exposed paddle |
| 8 (LX) | Switch node | Drives external 2.2µH inductor; high-impedance in shutdown; internal clamp diodes protect against inductive kickback |
| 9 (BATT) | Main supply input | Accepts 2.6V–5.5V; requires local 10µF ceramic bypass capacitor to minimize input ripple and EMI |
| 10 (EN1) | Enable/Mode control input 1 | Paired with EN2 to select shutdown, pulse-group, pulse-skip, or forced-PWM operation |
| 12 (ABATT) | Analog supply input | Filtered via 10Ω resistor and 0.1µF capacitor to isolate noise-sensitive internal reference and control circuitry |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Voltage positioning | Matches output droop during load transients to prevent overshoot-halving total output voltage variation versus conventional regulators |
| Synchronous rectification | Integrated P-channel high-side and N-channel low-side MOSFETs eliminate external Schottky diode, reducing BOM count and conduction losses |
| Triple power-save modes | Pulse-group (48µA IQ), pulse-skip (faster wake-up, lower ripple), and forced-PWM (fixed 2MHz, predictable EMI spectrum) selectable via EN1/EN2 |
| 170ms RESET timer | Guaranteed minimum delay ensures stable core voltage before releasing processor reset-no external timing components required |
| 100% duty-cycle capability | Enables operation with VIN as low as VOUT + IOUT × (RDS(ON)P + RL); supports ultra-low dropout in battery-critical conditions |
| Soft-start with zero inrush | Controlled voltage ramp via SS pin prevents input current spikes during startup-protects source and avoids brownout |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231DRYR | Fixed 1.3V output, 3MHz switching, 600mA max, 22µA IQ in DCS-Control™ mode, 6-pin WSON | Limited current capacity and no integrated RESET; requires external reset IC for processor sequencing | Preferred for ultra-small footprint designs where 600mA suffices and RESET is handled separately |
| RT8059ZSP | Adjustable 0.6V–3.3V output, 2MHz, 800mA, 55µA IQ in PS mode, 8-pin WDFN, no RESET | Requires external resistor divider and reset supervisor; lacks voltage positioning and fixed 1.30V option | Suitable when output voltage flexibility is needed and system-level reset management is already implemented |
Compared with MAX1572ETC130+, TPS62231DRYR offers higher switching frequency and smaller package but lower current and no RESET; RT8059ZSP provides adjustable output and similar current but adds design complexity for voltage setting and reset generation-making MAX1572ETC130+ optimal for drop-in 1.30V core rail replacement with integrated sequencing.

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage of the MAX1572ETC130+?
The MAX1572ETC130+ has a factory-trimmed fixed output voltage of 1.30V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2% over load, line, and temperature (-40°C to +85°C). This value is confirmed in the Ordering Information table and Electrical Characteristics section of the datasheet, where "ETC130" explicitly denotes the 1.30V variant. The device does not support external adjustment.
Does the MAX1572ETC130+ require an external Schottky diode?
No, the MAX1572ETC130+ does not require an external Schottky diode. It integrates both a P-channel high-side switch and an N-channel synchronous rectifier, enabling full synchronous rectification. This eliminates conduction losses associated with external diodes and reduces thermal dissipation-confirmed in the Features list and Typical Operating Circuit diagram.
How is the RESET function timed in the MAX1572ETC130+?
The MAX1572ETC130+ asserts its open-drain RESET output low until the regulated output reaches and sustains ≥90% of 1.30V (i.e., ≥1.17V), then holds it low for a minimum of 170ms. This delay is internally generated and independent of external components. The RESET pin is pulled up to the OUT node via an internal 14kΩ resistor, ensuring proper logic-level signaling to processors.
Which operating mode gives the lowest quiescent current for the MAX1572ETC130+?
Pulse-group mode delivers the lowest quiescent current for the MAX1572ETC130+: 48µA typical at light loads. This mode fully disables noncritical internal circuitry when VOUT rises 0.8% above 1.30V, resuming switching only when VOUT falls below that threshold. Pulse-skip mode draws higher IQ (~700µA), while forced-PWM draws significantly more due to continuous 2MHz switching.
What package type and thermal pad configuration does the MAX1572ETC130+ use?
The MAX1572ETC130+ uses a 12-pin, 4mm × 4mm × 0.8mm thin QFN package with exposed thermal paddle (EP). The exposed paddle must be soldered to a PCB copper pour connected to PGND and GND pins (pins 3, 5, 7, 11) to ensure adequate thermal dissipation and electrical performance-per the Package Information and Pin Description sections of the datasheet.
