____________________________Features
♦ High Efficiency for a Wide Range of Load Currents
The MAX639/MAX640/MAX653 input range is 4V to
11.5V, and the devices provide lower preset output voltages of 5V, 3.3V, and 3V, respectively. Or, the output
can be user-adjusted to any voltage from 1.3V to the
input voltage.
♦ Low-Battery Detection Comparator
The MAX639/MAX640/MAX653 have an internal 1A power
MOSFET switch, making them ideal for minimum-component, low- and medium-power applications. For increased
output drive capability, use the MAX649/MAX651/MAX652
step-down controllers, which drive an external P-channel
FET to deliver up to 5W.

MAX639/MAX640/MAX653
_______________General Description
The MAX639/MAX640/MAX653 step-down switching
regulators provide high efficiency over a wide range of
load currents, delivering up to 225mA. A current-limiting
pulse-frequency-modulated (PFM) control scheme gives
the devices the benefits of pulse-width-modulated
(PWM) converters (high efficiency at heavy loads), while
using only 10µA of supply current (vs. 2mA to 10mA for
PWM converters). The result is high efficiency over a
wide range of loads.

SHDN
Low-Battery Input. When the voltage at LBI drops below 1.28V, LBO sinks current.
Ground
Dual-Mode Feedback Pin. When VFB is grounded, the internal voltage divider sets the output to 5V
(MAX639), 3.3V (MAX640) or 3V (MAX653). For adjustable operation, connect VFB to an external voltage divider.
Shutdown Input — active low. When pulled below 0.8V, the LX power switch stays off, shutting down
the regulator. When the shutdown input is above 2V, the regulator stays on. Tie SHDN to V+ if shutdown mode is not used.

Designing power supplies with the MAX639/MAX640/
MAX653 is easy. The few required external components
are readily available. The most general applications use
the following components:
(1) Capacitors: For the input and output filter capacitors, try using electrolytics in the 100µF range, or
use low-ESR capacitors to minimize output ripple.
Capacitor values are not critical.

_______________Detailed Description
Figure 1 shows a simplified, step-down DC-DC converter. When the switch is closed, a voltage equal to
(V+ - V OUT) is applied to the inductor. The current
through the inductor ramps up, storing energy in the
inductor’s magnetic field. This same current also flows
into the output filter capacitor and load. When the switch
opens, the current continues to flow through the inductor
in the same direction, but must also flow through the
diode. The inductor alone supplies current to the load
when the switch is open. This current decays to zero as
the energy stored in the inductor’s magnetic field is
transferred to the output filter capacitor and the load.

MAX639/MAX640/MAX653
5V/3.3V/3V/Adjustable, High-Efficiency,
Low IQ, Step-Down DC-DC Converters
Figure 2 shows what happens to the ideal circuit of
Figure 1 if the switch turns on with a 66% duty cycle and
V+ = 3/2 VOUT. The inductor current rises more slowly
than it falls because the magnitude of the voltage
applied during tON is less than that applied during tOFF.
Varying the duty cycle and switching frequency keeps
the peak current constant as input voltage varies. The
MAX639/MAX640/MAX653 control the switch (tON and
tOFF) according to the following equations:
Equation (1) tON = 50µsV / (V+ - VOUT)
Equation (2) tOFF ≥ 50µsV / VOUT
Equation (3) IPEAK = 50µsV / L
These three equations ensure constant peak currents for
a given inductor value, across all input voltages (ignoring
the voltage drop across the diode (D1) and the resistive
losses in the switch and inductor). The variable duty
cycle also ensures that the current through the inductor
discharges to zero at the end of each pulse.
Figure 3 shows the MAX639/MAX640/MAX653 block diagram and a typical connection in which 9V is converted
to 5V (MAX639), 3.3V (MAX640), or 3.0V (MAX653). The
sequence of events in this application is as follows:
When the output dips:
(1) The error comparator switches high.
(2) The internal oscillator starts (15µs start-up time)
and connects to the gate of the LX output driver.
(3) LX turns on and off according to t ON and tOFF,
charging and discharging the inductor, and supplying current to the output (as described above).
When the output voltage recovers:
(1) The comparator switches low.
(2) LX turns off.
(3) The oscillator shuts down to save power.
Fixed or Adjustable Output
For operation at the preset output voltage, connect VFB
to GND; no external resistors are required. For other
output voltages, use an external voltage divider. Set the
output voltage using R3 and R4 as determined by the
following formula:
R3 = R4 [(VOUT / VFB Threshold) - 1]
where R4 is any resistance in the 10kΩ to 1MΩ range (typically 100kΩ), and the VFB threshold is typically 1.28V.

R1 = R2 [(VLB / LBI Threshold) - 1]
where R2 is any resistance in the 10kΩ to 1MΩ range
(typically 100kΩ), the LBI threshold is typically 1.28V,
and VLB is the desired low-battery detection voltage.
The low-battery comparator remains active in shutdown
mode.
Shutdown Mode
Bringing SHDN below 0.8V places the MAX639/
MAX640/MAX643 in shutdown mode. LX becomes high
impedance, and the voltage at VOUT falls to zero. The
time required for the output to rise to its nominal regulated voltage when brought out of shutdown (start-up
time) depends on the inductor value, input voltage, and
load current (see the Start-Up Time vs. Output Current
graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics). The
low-battery comparator remains active in shutdown
mode.
__________Applications Information
Inductor Selection
When selecting an inductor, consider these four factors:
peak-current rating, inductance value, series resistance,
and size. It is important not to exceed the inductor’s
peak-current rating. A saturated inductor will pull excessive currents through the MAX639/MAX640/MAX653’s
switch, and may cause damage. Avoid using RF chokes
or air-core inductors since they have very low peak-current ratings. Electromagnetic interference must not upset
nearby circuitry or the regulator IC. Ferrite-bobbin types
work well for most digital circuits; toroids or pot cores
work well for EMI-sensitive analog circuits.
Recall that the inductance value determines IPEAK for all
input voltages (Equation 3). If there are no resistive losses and the diode is ideal, the maximum average current
that can be drawn from the MAX639/MAX640/MAX653
will be one-half IPEAK. With the real losses in the switch,
inductor, and diode taken into account, the real maximum output current typically varies from 90% to 50% of
the ideal. The following steps describe a conservative
way to pick an appropriate inductor.
Step 1: Decide on the maximum required output
current, in amperes: IOUTMAX.
Step 2: IPEAK = 4 x IOUTMAX.

MAX639/MAX640/MAX653
Low-Battery Detector
The low-battery detector compares the voltage on the
LBI input with the internal 1.28V reference. LBO goes
low whenever the input voltage at LBI is less than
1.28V. Set the low-battery detection voltage with resistors R1 and R2 (Figure 3) as determined by the following formula:

Step 3: L = 50 / IPEAK. L will be in µH. Do not use an
inductor of less than 100µH.
It decreases with larger inductance, but increases as
the input voltage lessens. As a general rule, a smaller
amount of charge delivered in each pulse results in
less output ripple.
With low-cost aluminum electrolytic capacitors, the
ESR-induced ripple can be larger than that caused by
the charge variation. Consequently, high-quality aluminum-electrolytic or tantalum filter capacitors will minimize output ripple. Best results at reasonable cost are
typically achieved with an aluminum-electrolytic capacitor in the 100µF range, in parallel with a 0.1µF ceramic
capacitor (Table 1).
Step 4: Make sure that IPEAK does not exceed 0.6A or
the inductor’s maximum current rating,
whichever is lower.
Inductor series resistance affects both efficiency and
dropout voltage. A high series resistance severely limits
the maximum current available at lower input voltages.
Output currents up to 225mA are possible if the inductor has low series resistance. Inductor and series
switch resistance form an LR circuit during tON. If the
L/R time constant is less than the oscillator tON, the
inductor’s peak current will fall short of the desired
IPEAK.
To maximize efficiency, choose the highest-value
inductor that will provide the required output current
over the whole range of your input voltage (see Typical
Operating Characteristics). Inductors with peak currents in the 600mA range do not need to be very large.
They are about the size of a 1W resistor, with surfacemount versions less than 5mm in diameter. Table 1 lists
suppliers of inductors suitable for use with the
MAX639/MAX640/MAX653.
Output Filter Capacitor
The MAX639/MAX640/MAX653’s output ripple has two
components. One component results from the variation
in stored charge on the filter capacitor with each LX
pulse. The other is the product of the current into the
capacitor and the capacitor’s equivalent series resistance (ESR).
The amount of charge delivered in each oscillator pulse
is determined by the inductor value and input voltage.
10
External Diode
In most MAX639/MAX640/MAX653 circuits, the current
in the external diode (D1, Figure 3) changes abruptly
from zero to its peak value each time LX switches off.
To avoid excessive losses, the diode must have a fast
turn-on time. For low-power circuits with peak currents
less than 100mA, signal diodes such as the 1N4148
perform well. The 1N5817 diode works well for highpower circuits, or for maximum efficiency at low power.
1N5817 equivalent diodes are also available in surfacemount packages (Table 1). Although the 1N4001 and
other general-purpose rectifiers are rated for high currents, they are unacceptable because their slow turnoff times result in excessive losses.
Minimum Load
Under no-load conditions, because of leakage from the
PMOS power switch (see the LX Leakage Current vs.
Temperature graph in the Typical Operating
Characteristics) and from the internal resistor from V+
to VOUT, leakage current may be supplied to the output

capacitor, even when the switch is off. This will usually not
be a problem for a 5V output at room temperature, since
the diode’s reverse leakage current and the feedback
resistors’ current typically drain the excess. However, if
the diode leakage is very low (which can occur at low
temperatures and/or small output voltages), charge may
build up on the output capacitor, making VOUT rise above
its set point. If this happens, add a small load resistor
(typically 1MΩ) to the output to pull a few extra
microamps of current from the output capacitor.

Layout
Several of the external components in a MAX639/
MAX640/MAX653 circuit experience peak currents up
to 600mA. Wherever one of these components connects to ground, there is a potential for ground bounce.
Ground bounce occurs when high currents flow
through the parasitic resistances of PC board traces.
What one component interprets as ground can differ
from the IC’s ground by several millivolts. This may
increase the MAX639/MAX640/MAX653’s output ripple,
since the error comparator (which is referenced to
ground) will generate extra switching pulses when they
are not needed. It is essential that the input filter capacitor’s ground lead, the MAX639/MAX640/MAX653’s
GND pin, the diode’s anode, and the output filter
capacitor’s ground lead are as close together as possible, preferably at the same point. Figure 5 shows a
suggested through-hole printed circuit layout that minimizes ground bounce.
Inverter Configuration
Figure 6 shows the MAX639/MAX640/MAX653 in a
floating ground configuration. By tying what would normally be the output to the supply-voltage ground, the
IC’s GND pin is forced to a regulated -5V (MAX639),

-3.3V (MAX640), or -3V (MAX653). Avoid exceeding the
maximum differential voltage of 11.5V from V+ to VOUT.
Other negative voltages can be generated by placing a
voltage divider across COUT and connecting the tap
point to VFB in the same manner as the normal stepdown configuration.
Two AA Batteries to 5V, 3.3V, or 3V
For battery-powered applications, where the signal
ground does not have to correspond to the power-supply
ground, the circuit in Figure 6 generates 5V (MAX639),
3.3V (MAX640), or 3V (MAX653) from a pair of AA batteries. Connect the VIN ground point to your system’s input,
and connect the output to your system’s ground input.
This configuration has the added advantage of reduced
on resistance, since the IC’s internal power FET has VIN +
VOUT of gate drive (Figures 7 and 8).
