Product details
Overview
MAX8640YEXT19+T from Maxim Integrated is a synchronous step-down DC-DC converter optimized for space-constrained portable applications, delivering 500mA output current at a factory-preset 1.9V output voltage with ±1% initial accuracy, operating up to 2MHz switching frequency, and consuming only 28µA quiescent current. It integrates high-side and low-side MOSFETs in a 6-pin SC70 package and targets microprocessor core and I/O power rails in handheld devices.
For engineers reviewing the MAX8640YEXT19+T datasheet, MAX8640YEXT19+T pinout, MAX8640YEXT19+T application, or MAX8640YEXT19+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.9V fixed output, 2MHz switching frequency enabling compact 2.2µH/4.7µF external components, voltage-positioning load regulation, ultrasonic pulse-skipping mode down to 1mA, and SC70 thermal performance (245mW at +70°C).
Technical Context
The MAX8640YEXT19+T employs a proprietary hysteretic PWM control scheme that dynamically adjusts switching frequency based on load-maintaining 2MHz operation across full load while enabling ultrasonic skip mode below 100mA. Its voltage-positioning feedback architecture samples the LX node directly, eliminating phase lag from output capacitance and yielding load regulation equal to inductor DCR × ILOAD.
This architecture enables fast line- and load-transient response with halved peak-to-peak output excursions versus conventional buck converters, while internal synchronous rectification replaces external Schottky diodes and achieves typical efficiency >90% at 100mA–300mA loads with 3.6V input and 1.9V output.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Factory-preset 1.9V with ±1% initial accuracy-eliminates external resistor divider and ensures stable core/I/O rail without calibration. |
| Switching Frequency | Up to 2MHz-enables use of small 2.2µH inductor and 4.7µF ceramic output capacitor, reducing board area by >40% vs. 500kHz solutions. |
| Output Current | Guaranteed 500mA continuous-supports demanding DSP/microprocessor I/O rails without derating at +85°C ambient. |
| Quiescent Current | 28µA typical-extends battery life in always-on subsystems such as real-time clocks or sensor interfaces. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V-compatible with single-cell Li+ (3.0–4.2V), alkaline (3.0–4.5V), and USB-powered systems. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.01µA typical-minimizes leakage in system sleep states, critical for multi-week standby in portable medical devices. |
| Load Regulation | Voltage-positioning architecture: ΔVOUT = ILOAD × RDCR(L)-reduces transient overshoot by 50% and eliminates need for large bulk capacitance. |
Pinout & Package
MAX8640YEXT19+T is housed in a lead-free, RoHS-compliant 6-pin SC70 package (2.0mm × 2.1mm), rated for -40°C to +85°C operation. Thermal resistance θJA is 323°C/W, with 245mW maximum continuous power dissipation at +70°C ambient.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - LX | Inductor switch node | Connects to internal p-channel and n-channel MOSFET drains; requires short, low-inductance trace to minimize EMI and ringing during 2MHz switching. |
| 2,5 - GND | Power and signal ground | Two dedicated ground pins must be connected together directly under IC and tied to input/output capacitor grounds to ensure stable feedback and thermal path. |
| 3 - OUT | Output voltage sense and feedback | Internally connected to precision voltage reference; bypass with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin 3 and pin 2 for loop stability. |
| 4 - SHDN | Active-low enable/disable control | Logic-low ≥10µs after VIN exceeds UVLO (2.6V) resets internal logic; drives <0.01µA shutdown current and places LX in high-impedance state. |
| 6 - IN | Main power input | Accepts 2.7–5.5V; requires local 2.2µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed within 2mm of pin 6 and pin 5 to suppress switching noise and supply current spikes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Voltage-positioning feedback | Direct LX-node sensing removes output capacitor phase lag, enabling stable regulation with ≤4.7µF ceramic output caps and halving transient voltage excursions. |
| Ultrasonic pulse-skipping mode | Operates above 20kHz down to 1mA load-prevents audible noise in audio-sensitive applications like MP3 players and hearing aids. |
| Internal synchronous rectification | Integrated n-channel MOSFET replaces external Schottky diode, improving light-load efficiency by 8–12% and eliminating reverse recovery losses. |
| Fast soft-start | Eliminates inrush current at startup-reduces required input capacitance by 50% and prevents brownout in high-impedance Li+ battery sources. |
| ±1% output voltage accuracy | Tight initial tolerance ensures reliable operation of 1.8V/1.9V I/O domains without margining, simplifying power sequencing in multi-rail systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-down DC-DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231DRYT | 1.9V fixed output, 3MHz switching, 35µA IQ, 400mA rated, 6-pin WSON (2.0×2.0mm) | Lower max output current (400mA vs. 500mA); higher switching frequency increases sensitivity to layout parasitics. | Select when 3MHz operation is preferred for smallest inductor size and board area is more constrained than current capability. |
| RT8059GJ6 | 1.9V fixed output, 2MHz switching, 25µA IQ, 500mA rated, 6-pin SOT-563 (2.1×1.6mm) | Slightly smaller IQ but uses SOT-563 package with higher θJA (360°C/W); no voltage-positioning architecture. | Select when lowest possible quiescent current is primary, and thermal headroom permits higher junction temperature rise. |
Compared with TPS62231DRYT and RT8059GJ6, MAX8640YEXT19+T provides superior transient response due to voltage-positioning feedback, higher guaranteed output current, and proven SC70 thermal performance-making it optimal for high-reliability portable systems where load-step stability and long-term consistency are critical.

FAQ
What is the factory-preset output voltage of MAX8640YEXT19+T?
The MAX8640YEXT19+T has a factory-preset output voltage of 1.9V with ±1% initial accuracy over temperature. This fixed output eliminates the need for external feedback resistors and ensures consistent regulation across production units without trimming. The 1.9V setting is confirmed in the Selector Guide table and matches the top-mark code "ACH" listed in the Ordering Information section of the datasheet.
Does MAX8640YEXT19+T support shutdown functionality, and what is the minimum SHDN pulse width?
Yes, MAX8640YEXT19+T supports active-low shutdown via the SHDN pin. A logic-low signal ≥10µs in duration is required after VIN rises above the undervoltage lockout threshold (2.6V) to properly reset internal logic. In shutdown mode, MAX8640YEXT19+T draws only 0.01µA typical supply current and places the LX node in high-impedance state, isolating the inductor from both IN and GND.
What external components are required for stable operation of MAX8640YEXT19+T?
MAX8640YEXT19+T requires three external components for basic operation: a 2.2µH power inductor, a 4.7µF ceramic output capacitor (X5R/X7R), and a 2.2µF ceramic input capacitor. The Selector Guide explicitly lists these values for MAX8640YEXT19+T. No feedback resistors are needed due to factory-preset 1.9V output, and no external Schottky diode is required thanks to internal synchronous rectification.
How does the voltage-positioning architecture of MAX8640YEXT19+T improve load-transient performance?
The voltage-positioning architecture of MAX8640YEXT19+T samples the LX node instead of the OUT pin, removing phase lag caused by output capacitor impedance. This yields load regulation defined by ΔVOUT = ILOAD × RDCR(L), which cuts peak-to-peak output-voltage excursions in half compared to conventional buck regulators. As shown in Typical Operating Characteristics Figure toc11/toc12, this results in <15mV overshoot during 5mA→250mA→5mA transients at 1.9V output.
Is MAX8640YEXT19+T compatible with 2.7V input, and what is its UVLO threshold?
Yes, MAX8640YEXT19+T operates across a 2.7V to 5.5V input range. Its undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold is 2.6V nominal with 100mV hysteresis-meaning the device enables when VIN rises above 2.70V and disables when VIN falls below 2.44V. This ensures reliable startup from single-cell Li+ batteries (nominal 3.6V, discharged to ~2.8V) and alkaline sources without premature dropout.
