Product details
Overview
MAX8562ETA from Maxim Integrated is a synchronous step-down DC-DC converter optimized for space-constrained, high-efficiency applications requiring up to 500mA output current, 4MHz switching frequency, and adjustable 0.6V–2.5V output voltage. It drives an external bypass P-channel MOSFET via its ODO/ODI interface and operates from a 2.7V–5.5V input, targeting CDMA RF power amplifier supply rails.
For engineers reviewing the MAX8562ETA datasheet, MAX8562ETA pinout, MAX8562ETA application, or MAX8562ETA equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8-pin TDFN package, open-drain output control logic, ±1.5% FB threshold accuracy, internal synchronous rectification, and thermal shutdown protection at +160°C.
Technical Context
The MAX8562ETA implements a proprietary hysteretic-PWM control scheme with fixed-frequency operation up to 4MHz and minimum on/off times of 107ns/95ns. Its voltage-positioning feedback architecture samples the LX node to eliminate phase lag, enabling stable regulation with small ceramic output capacitors and halving peak-to-peak output-voltage excursions during load transients.
It integrates a P-channel high-side switch (RONP = 0.8–1.5Ω) and N-channel synchronous rectifier (RONN = 0.4–0.82Ω), supports logic-controlled shutdown (0.1µA quiescent), and features dedicated ODI/ODO pins to force 100% duty cycle or high-impedance states for external PFET control in dual-mode PA supplies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports single-cell Li+ and alkaline battery inputs without external regulators |
| Output Current | Guaranteed 500mA - sufficient for RF power amplifier bias rails in CDMA handsets |
| Switching Frequency | Up to 4MHz - enables use of sub-2.2µH inductors and reduces footprint vs. 1MHz converters |
| Quiescent Current | 40µA (typ) - extends battery life in standby mode for portable devices |
| FB Threshold Voltage | 0.6V ±1.5% - sets precise output voltage via external resistor divider (R1/R2) |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1µA - minimizes leakage in system-level power gating schemes |
| Thermal Shutdown | +160°C with 20°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload in sealed enclosures |
Pinout & Package
MAX8562ETA is housed in an 8-pin, 3mm × 3mm × 0.8mm Thin DFN package with exposed thermal pad (EP) connected to GND. The package supports high-power density layouts and efficient heat dissipation in compact handheld designs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 FB | Voltage feedback input | Regulates output by comparing divided LX–GND voltage to 0.6V reference; enables voltage positioning |
| 2 ODO | Open-drain output | Drives external PFET gate; pulled up to IN via internal 10kΩ resistor when ODI = low |
| 3 SHDN | Active-low shutdown control | Puts IC into 0.1µA sleep mode; requires logic-high or IN tie for normal operation |
| 4 GND | Analog ground reference | Reference for FB, SHDN, and ODI; must be separated from PGND in layout |
| 5 PGND | Power ground return | Low-impedance return path for LX switching current; connects to exposed pad |
| 6 LX | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt current; requires short, wide trace routing |
| 7 IN | Input supply rail | 2.7V–5.5V input; bypassed with 2.2µF ceramic capacitor near pin |
| 8 ODI | Digital input for ODO control | Logic-high forces ODO low (100% duty cycle); logic-low places ODO in high-Z or 10kΩ pullup state |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal synchronous rectification | Eliminates external Schottky diode, improving efficiency by >5% at 500mA and reducing BOM count |
| Voltage-positioning feedback | Uses LX node sampling to shift output voltage linearly with load current, cutting transient overshoot by 50% |
| Adjustable soft-start | Internally limits inrush current during startup, relaxing input capacitor sizing requirements for high-impedance sources |
| Logic-controlled bypass FET drive | ODI/ODO interface enables seamless transition between buck-regulated and direct-battery modes in CDMA PA stages |
| High-frequency PWM control | 4MHz max switching allows 1µH inductors, shrinking total solution size by >40% vs. 1MHz alternatives |

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 | 3MHz max switching, 300mA output, 2.05V–6.0V input, no ODO/ODI interface | Lacks external bypass FET control; suited for fixed-output, lower-current rails only | Select when ODO/ODI functionality is unnecessary and input voltage exceeds 5.5V |
| RT8059NGSP | 2.5MHz max switching, 600mA output, 2.5V–5.5V input, integrated soft-start but no voltage positioning | Higher current capability but slower transient response due to conventional feedback topology | Prefer for higher-load applications where output voltage stability under rapid load changes is less critical |
Compared with TPS62231DRYR and RT8059NGSP, the MAX8562ETA uniquely combines 4MHz operation, 500mA capability, and dedicated ODI/ODO logic for external PFET control-making it the only option among the three qualified for CDMA PA two-step VCC architectures requiring sub-20µs mode switching.

FAQ
What is the function of the ODI and ODO pins on the MAX8562ETA?
The ODI (pin 8) and ODO (pin 2) pins on the MAX8562ETA enable external control of a bypass P-channel MOSFET. When ODI is logic-high, ODO is actively pulled low to force the MAX8562ETA into 100% duty cycle, passing VIN directly to the output. When ODI is logic-low, ODO enters high-impedance state with an internal 10kΩ pullup to IN. This dual-mode behavior makes the MAX8562ETA ideal for CDMA PA supply architectures requiring both regulated and direct-battery operation.
Does the MAX8562ETA require an external Schottky diode?
No, the MAX8562ETA does not require an external Schottky diode. It integrates internal synchronous rectification using complementary P-channel and N-channel MOSFETs. This eliminates conduction losses associated with external diodes, improves full-load efficiency by up to 7%, and reduces thermal stress on the PCB-key advantages confirmed in the MAX8562ETA's typical operating characteristics graphs.
What is the recommended inductor value for the MAX8562ETA in a 1.2V/500mA application?
For a 1.2V/500mA application, the MAX8562ETA datasheet recommends a 1.0µH to 2.2µH inductor. A 1.5µH inductor (e.g., Murata LQH32CN1R5M53) balances size, efficiency, and transient response. Inductors with DC resistance between 50mΩ and 150mΩ optimize voltage-positioning performance, while values below 100mΩ improve heavy-load efficiency above 200mA. The MAX8562ETA's 4MHz capability allows physically smaller inductors than lower-frequency alternatives.
How does the MAX8562ETA achieve fast load transient response?
The MAX8562ETA achieves fast load transient response through its voltage-positioning feedback architecture, which samples the LX switch node instead of the output. This removes phase lag from the output capacitor, stabilizing the control loop and allowing use of small ceramic capacitors. Combined with a proprietary hysteretic-PWM scheme and minimum on/off times of 107ns/95ns, the MAX8562ETA delivers <25mV peak-to-peak output deviation during 500mA load steps-halving overshoot versus conventional buck converters.
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for the MAX8562ETA?
The absolute maximum input voltage for the MAX8562ETA is +6V on the IN, FB, SHDN, ODI, and ODO pins relative to GND. However, the specified operational input voltage range is 2.7V to 5.5V. Exceeding 5.5V may cause permanent damage or violate functional specifications-even briefly-so designs must ensure input sources (e.g., Li+ batteries with charging spikes) remain within this 2.7V–5.5V window during all operating conditions.
