Product details
Overview
The MAX1692EUB+T 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 to VIN) across a +2.7V to +5.5V input range, features 750kHz fixed-frequency operation, 95% peak efficiency, and supports forced-PWM, PWM/PFM, and shutdown modes. It powers baseband logic and transmitters in cellular phones and PDAs.
For engineers reviewing the MAX1692EUB+T datasheet, MAX1692EUB+T pinout, MAX1692EUB+T application, or MAX1692EUB+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 10-pin µMAX package, internal synchronous rectification eliminating external Schottky diodes, 1.25V ±1.2% reference accuracy, 85µA quiescent current in Idle Mode™, and 100% duty-cycle capability for ultra-low dropout operation.
Technical Context
The MAX1692EUB+T employs a slope-compensated current-mode PWM controller with minimum on-time of ~150ns and maximum on-time exceeding one oscillator period-enabling true 100% duty-cycle operation. Its dual MOSFET power stage integrates a P-channel main switch (0.4Ω typical RDS(ON)) and N-channel synchronous rectifier (0.8Ω typical RDS(ON)), controlled by independent current-sense comparators for cycle-by-cycle limiting and NEGLIM-based reverse-current management.
Four operational modes are implemented via the SYNC/PWM and LIM pins: forced PWM (SYNC/PWM = IN), synchronizable PWM (external clock 500–1000kHz), PWM/PFM (SYNC/PWM = GND), and shutdown (SHDN = GND). The LIM pin selects between 600mA (LIM = IN) and 250mA (LIM = GND) current limits, while feedback regulation uses a precision 1.25V reference with ±1.2% tolerance over temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | +2.7V to +5.5V - supports single Li-ion (2.9–4.5V) and regulated 3.3V/5V rails without external level-shifting. |
| Output Voltage Range | 1.25V to VIN - adjustable via resistor divider on FB pin; enables direct generation of 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V logic supplies. |
| Max Output Current | 600mA - guaranteed at VIN ≥ 2.7V and TA ≤ +85°C with LIM = IN; sufficient for CPU I/O and RF transceiver biasing. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 750kHz (±10%) - fixed-frequency PWM enables predictable EMI filtering; synchronizable to 500–1000kHz external clock. |
| Quiescent Current | 85µA in PWM/PFM mode - extends battery life in standby; drops to <0.1µA in shutdown mode. |
| Reference Accuracy | 1.25V ±1.2% - ensures ±1.3% load regulation (0–600mA) and stable feedback loop performance. |
| Efficiency | 95% peak - achieved via internal synchronous rectification; eliminates Schottky diode loss and thermal derating. |
| Duty Cycle Range | 22% to 100% - supports full dropout operation down to VIN − VOUT ≈ 280mV at 600mA load. |
Pinout & Package
The MAX1692EUB+T is housed in a space-saving 10-pin µMAX package (3mm × 3mm × 1.11mm height), thermally enhanced with exposed PGND pad for improved power dissipation in compact portable layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN | Supply Input | Primary power input (2.7–5.5V); requires 10µF bulk bypass to PGND for ripple suppression. |
| 2 BP | Bypass Supply | Internally tied to IN; 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to GND stabilizes internal bias rail. |
| 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; bypassed with 0.22µF 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 selecting 600mA (LIM = IN) or 250mA (LIM = GND) peak inductor current limit. |
| 7 SYNC/PWM | Mode Control | Active-low input: GND enables PWM/PFM; IN forces fixed-frequency PWM; external clock syncs switching. |
| 8 SHDN | Shutdown Enable | Active-low control; pulls quiescent current to <0.1µA and disables all internal circuitry when grounded. |
| 9 LX | Switch Node | Connection to drains of internal P- and N-channel MOSFETs; drives external inductor; high dv/dt node. |
| 10 PGND | Power Ground | High-current return path for LX, IN, and internal switches; must be low-inductance plane connected to GND at single point. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Synchronous Rectification | Integrated N-channel MOSFET replaces external Schottky diode, reducing conduction loss and enabling >95% efficiency at full load. |
| Idle Mode™ (PWM/PFM) | Automatically transitions to pulse-skipping PFM below 120mA load, cutting quiescent current from 85µA to <0.1µA in shutdown. |
| 100% Duty-Cycle Operation | Enables regulation down to VIN − VOUT ≈ 280mV at 600mA, critical for Li-ion discharge curve tracking. |
| Low-Noise Fixed-Frequency PWM | 750kHz operation with tight frequency tolerance simplifies EMI filter design and avoids sensitive IF/data bands. |
| Internal 1.25V Reference | ±1.2% accuracy over -40°C to +85°C ensures stable output voltage across battery voltage and temperature variation. |
| Four-Mode Flexibility | Forced PWM, synchronizable PWM, PWM/PFM, and shutdown modes allow optimization for noise, efficiency, or standby in diverse subsystems. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output current capability of the MAX1692EUB+T?
The MAX1692EUB+T guarantees 600mA output current when the LIM pin is connected to IN and ambient temperature remains ≤+85°C. This rating assumes proper thermal layout with adequate copper pour on the PGND pad. At elevated temperatures or with LIM = GND, the current limit reduces to 250mA. The device internally limits peak inductor current to protect against overload conditions.
Does the MAX1692EUB+T require an external Schottky diode?
No, the MAX1692EUB+T does not require an external Schottky diode. It integrates both a P-channel high-side switch and an N-channel synchronous rectifier, enabling high-efficiency operation (>95% peak) without external diode losses or associated thermal management. This reduces BOM count, PCB area, and overall system cost.
How does the MAX1692EUB+T achieve 100% duty-cycle operation?
The MAX1692EUB+T achieves 100% duty-cycle operation through its slope-compensated current-mode PWM architecture, which allows the maximum on-time to exceed one oscillator period. When input voltage approaches output voltage, the P-channel MOSFET remains continuously on, resulting in dropout voltage equal to IOUT × RDS(ON) (≈280mV at 600mA), enabling regulation deep into battery discharge.
What are the operating modes supported by the MAX1692EUB+T?
The MAX1692EUB+T supports four distinct operating modes: forced PWM (SYNC/PWM = IN), synchronizable PWM (external clock 500–1000kHz), PWM/PFM Idle Mode™ (SYNC/PWM = GND), and shutdown (SHDN = GND). Mode selection is controlled entirely by logic-level inputs-no external components or configuration registers are required.
Can the MAX1692EUB+T be used with a 1.8V output in a cellular phone application?
Yes, the MAX1692EUB+T is commonly used to generate 1.8V outputs in cellular phones. Using the FB pin with a resistor divider (e.g., R1 = 138kΩ, R2 = 301kΩ), it regulates precisely from a 2.7–4.5V Li-ion input. Its low quiescent current in PWM/PFM mode and 750kHz low-noise switching make it ideal for powering baseband processors without interfering with RF sections.
