Product details
Overview
MAX1692EUB from Maxim Integrated is a low-noise, synchronous PWM step-down DC-DC converter optimized for Li-ion battery-powered wireless systems. It delivers up to 600mA output current with adjustable voltage (1.25V–VIN), operates from +2.7V to +5.5V input, features 750kHz fixed-frequency switching, and integrates P- and N-channel MOSFETs to eliminate external Schottky diodes - used in cellular phone baseband power rails.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1692EUB datasheet, MAX1692EUB pinout, MAX1692EUB application, or MAX1692EUB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 85µA quiescent current in PWM/PFM mode, 100% duty-cycle capability for low-dropout operation, ±1.2% reference accuracy, and 10-pin µMAX package with 1.11mm height for space-constrained handheld designs.
Technical Context
The MAX1692EUB employs slope-compensated current-mode PWM control with cycle-by-cycle current limiting, enabling stable regulation across 0–600mA load range and supporting 100% duty-cycle operation down to ~2.7V input. Its dual-mode architecture-forced PWM (SYNC/PWM = IN) and PWM/PFM (SYNC/PWM = GND)-allows harmonic control in RF-sensitive environments or extended battery life under light loads.
Internal synchronous rectification uses an N-channel MOSFET with NEGLIM comparator–controlled turn-off, eliminating reverse-current flow while maintaining regulation at zero load. The device integrates a 1.25V ±1.2% reference, feedback comparator, oscillator, and four current-sense comparators (PWM, PFM, NEGLIM, LIM) for comprehensive protection and mode management.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | +2.7V to +5.5V - supports single Li-ion (2.9–4.2V) or triple NiMH/NiCd batteries without external regulators. |
| Output Voltage Range | 1.25V to VIN - adjustable via external resistor divider; enables 1.8V CPU I/O, 2.5V chipset, or 3.3V transceiver rails. |
| Max Output Current | 600mA - guaranteed with LIM = IN; sufficient for baseband processors and RF transmitters in PDAs and handy-terminals. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 750kHz (±100kHz) - fixed-frequency operation simplifies EMI filtering; synchronizable from 500kHz to 1000kHz via SYNC/PWM pin. |
| Quiescent Current | 85µA in PWM/PFM mode - extends battery runtime during standby or light-load operation in portable devices. |
| Reference Accuracy | ±1.2% at 1.25V - ensures tight output voltage tolerance (e.g., ±15mV at 1.25V) without trimming components. |
| Shutdown Current | <0.1µA - reduces system leakage during deep sleep; output goes high-impedance when SHDN = GND. |
| Package | 10-pin µMAX (3mm × 3mm, 1.11mm height) - surface-mount, thermally enhanced package for compact PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX1692EUB is housed in a 10-pin µMAX package with exposed thermal pad (PGND-connected) and 0.5mm pitch. Pin 1 is marked by a dot; top-view pin numbering follows standard µMAX layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN | Power Input | Primary supply input (+2.7V to +5.5V); requires 10µF bulk capacitor to PGND for ripple suppression. |
| 2 BP | Bypass Supply | Internally tied to IN; bypass with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GND for internal bias stability. |
| 3 GND | Analog Ground | Reference ground for REF, FB, and control circuitry; must be star-connected to PGND at single point. |
| 4 REF | Reference Output | 1.25V ±1.2% precision reference; supplies up to 50µA; bypass with 0.22µF capacitor to GND. |
| 5 FB | Feedback Input | Resistor-divider node sensing output voltage; high-impedance input (±50nA) enables accurate regulation. |
| 6 LIM | Current-Limit Select | Logic input: connect to IN for 600mA limit, GND for 250mA limit - sets internal P-channel overcurrent threshold. |
| 7 SYNC/PWM | Mode Control | Active-low input: GND enables PWM/PFM mode; IN forces fixed-frequency PWM; external clock syncs switching. |
| 8 SHDN | Shutdown Control | Active-low enable: GND disables regulator (IQ < 0.1µA); IN enables normal operation. |
| 9 LX | Switch Node | Drain connection of internal P- and N-channel MOSFETs; connects to inductor; high dv/dt node requiring short trace routing. |
| 10 PGND | Power Ground | High-current return path for LX and internal switches; must be low-inductance plane connected to IN capacitor ground. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231DRYR | 3MHz switching frequency, 300mA output, 2.05V–6.5V input; smaller 6-pin WSON package but lower current rating. | Targeted at higher-frequency, lower-current apps like wearables; lacks PFM mode and 100% duty-cycle support. | Select when board space is critical and load ≤300mA; not suitable for 600mA cellular baseband rails. |
| ADP2302ARMZ-R7 | Fixed 3.3V output, 800mA rating, 3V–20V input; no adjustable output or SYNC capability; uses external diode. | Designed for industrial fixed-voltage supplies; lacks Li-ion optimization, low-noise modes, and compact µMAX footprint. | Choose only for non-battery, fixed-output systems where size and efficiency are secondary to cost. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current supported by the MAX1692EUB?
The MAX1692EUB guarantees 600mA output current when the LIM pin is connected to IN. With LIM tied to GND, the current limit drops to 250mA. This dual-threshold design allows flexible trade-offs between output capability and thermal management in compact layouts. The MAX1692EUB maintains regulation across this full range with ≤1.3% load regulation.
How does the MAX1692EUB achieve low-noise operation in sensitive RF applications?
The MAX1692EUB achieves low-noise operation through fixed-frequency 750kHz PWM switching, integrated synchronous rectification (eliminating diode noise), and slope-compensated current-mode control that suppresses subharmonic oscillation. Its SYNC/PWM pin allows external clock synchronization to avoid interference with IF bands - a feature confirmed in MAX1692EUB application circuits for cellular handsets.
Can the MAX1692EUB operate with a single Li-ion battery throughout its full discharge range?
Yes, the MAX1692EUB operates from +2.7V to +5.5V and supports 100% duty-cycle operation, enabling regulation down to input voltages only slightly above the output (e.g., 2.7V → 1.8V with ~280mV dropout). This matches the 2.7V–4.2V discharge curve of Li-ion cells, and its 85µA quiescent current in PWM/PFM mode maximizes usable battery capacity.
What is the purpose of the BP pin on the MAX1692EUB?
BP (Bypass) is an internal supply rail bypass pin tied directly to IN inside the MAX1692EUB die. It must be decoupled to GND with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to the pin. This stabilizes internal bias circuitry and prevents oscillation - omission causes erratic startup or regulation failure, as documented in MAX1692EUB layout guidelines.
Does the MAX1692EUB require an external Schottky diode?
No, the MAX1692EUB does not require an external Schottky diode. It integrates both P-channel (high-side) and N-channel (synchronous rectifier) MOSFETs, enabling full synchronous rectification. This design achieves up to 95% efficiency and eliminates reverse-recovery noise and forward-voltage drop associated with discrete diodes - a key specification confirmed in MAX1692EUB's General Description and Features sections.
