MAX750A/MAX758A
_______________General Description
The MAX750A/MAX758A are adjustable-output, CMOS,
step-down, DC-DC switching regulators. The
MAX758A accepts inputs from 4V to 16V and delivers
750mA, while the MAX750A accepts inputs from 4V to
11V and delivers 450mA. Typical efficiencies are 85%
to 90%. Typical quiescent current is 1.7mA, or only
6µA in shutdown mode. The output does not exhibit
any ripple at subharmonics of the switching frequency
over its specified range.
Pulse-width-modulation (PWM) current-mode control
provides precise output regulation and excellent transient responses. Output voltage accuracy is guaranteed to be ±4.5% plus feedback-resistor tolerance over
line, load, and temperature variations. Fixed-frequency
switching and absence of subharmonic ripple allows
easy filtering of output ripple and noise, as well as the
use of small external components. These regulators
require only a single inductor value to work in most
applications, so no inductor design is necessary.

_______________Detailed Description
The MAX750A/MAX758A switch-mode regulators use a
current-mode pulse-width-modulation (PWM) control
system coupled with a simple step-down (buck) regulator topography. Input voltages range from 4V to 11V for
the MAX750A, and from 4V to 16V for the MAX758A.
The current-mode PWM architecture provides cycle-bycycle current limiting, improved load transient response
characteristics, and simpler outer-loop design.
The controller consists of two feedback loops: an inner
(current) loop that monitors the switch current via the
current-sense resistor and amplifier, and an outer (voltage) loop that monitors the output voltage through the
error amplifier (Figure 1). The inner loop performs
cycle-by-cycle current limiting, truncating the powertransistor on-time when the switch current reaches a
predetermined threshold. This threshold is determined
by the outer loop. For example, a sagging output voltage produces an error signal that raises the threshold,
allowing the circuit to store and transfer more energy
during each cycle.
Programmable Soft-Start
Figures 1 and 2 show a capacitor and a resistor connected to the soft-start (SS) pin to ensure an orderly powerup. Typical values are 0.1µF and 510kΩ. SS controls
both the soft-start timing and the maximum output current that can be delivered while maintaining regulation.
The charging capacitor slowly raises the clamp on the
error-amplifier output voltage, limiting surge currents at
power-up by slowly increasing the cycle-by-cycle currentlimit threshold. The 510kΩ resistor sets the soft-start
clamp at a value high enough to maintain regulation, even
at currents exceeding 1A. This resistor is not necessary
for lower current loads. Refer to the Maximum Output
Current vs. Supply Voltage, No. R1 graph in the Typical
Operating Characteristics. Table 1 lists timing characteristics for selected capacitor values and circuit conditions.
The overcurrent comparator trips if the load exceeds
approximately 1.5A. A soft-start cycle begins when
either an undervoltage or overcurrent fault condition
triggers an internal transistor to discharge the softstart capacitor to ground. A soft-start cycle also
begins at power-up and when coming out of the shutdown mode.

Overcurrent Limiting
The overcurrent comparator triggers when the load current exceeds approximately 1.5A. On each clock
cycle, the output FET turns on and attempts to deliver
current until cycle-by-cycle or overcurrent limits are
exceeded. Note that the soft-start capacitor must be
greater than 0.01µF for overcurrent protection to function properly. A typical value is 0.1µF. A soft-start
cycle is initiated when the overcurrent comparator is
triggered.
Undervoltage Lockout
The undervoltage lockout feature monitors the supply
voltage at V+ and allows operation to start when V+
rises above 3.75V. When V+ falls, operation continues
until the supply voltage falls below 3.50V. When an
8
undervoltage condition is detected, control logic turns
off the output power FET and discharges the soft-start
capacitor to ground. This prevents partial turn-on of
the power MOSFET and avoids excessive power dissipation. The control logic holds the output power FET
off until the supply voltage rises above approximately
3.75V, at which time a soft-start cycle begins.
Shutdown Mode
The MAX750A/MAX758A are shut down by keeping
SHDN at ground. In shutdown mode, the output power
FET is held off and the output drops to 0V. The internal
reference also turns off, which causes the soft-start
capacitor to discharge. The 6µA typical standby current includes external-component leakage currents. As
temperature increases past +85°C, the external capaci-

__________Applications Information
Figure 3 shows the MAX750A/MAX758A configured for a
standard 5V step-down application. Table 2 lists the components for the desired operating temperature range.
These circuits are useful in systems that require high current at high efficiency and are powered by an unregulated
supply, such as a battery or wall-plug AC-DC transformer.
They will operate over the entire line, load, and temperature ranges using the single set of component values
shown in Figure 3 and listed in Table 2.
Inductor Selection
Figure 2. Block Diagram of Soft-Start Circuitry
tors’ leakage currents rises sharply. The actual design
limit for standby current is much less than the 100µA
specified in the Electrical Characteristics (see the
Standby Current vs. Temperature graph in the Typical
Operating Characteristics). However, testing to tighter
limits is prohibitive because the current takes several
seconds to settle to a final value. For normal operation,
connect SHDN to V+. Coming out of shutdown mode
initiates a soft-start cycle.
Continuous-/DiscontinuousConduction Modes
The input voltage, output voltage, load current, and
inductor value determine whether the IC operates in
continuous or discontinuous mode. As the inductor
value or load current decreases, or the input voltage
increases, the MAX750A/MAX758A tend to operate in
discontinuous-conduction mode (DCM). In DCM, the
inductor-current slope is steep enough so it decays to
zero before the end of the transistor off-time. In continuous-conduction mode (CCM), the inductor current
never decays to zero, which is typically more efficient
than DCM. CCM allows the MAX750A/MAX758A to
deliver maximum load current, and is also slightly less
noisy than DCM because the ripple current in the output capacitor is smaller.

The +1.23V bandgap reference supplies up to 100µA
at REF. Connect a 0.01µF bypass capacitor from REF
to GND.
The MAX750A/MAX758A require no inductor design
because they are tested in-circuit, and are guaranteed
to deliver the power specified in the Electrical
Characteristics with high efficiency using a single
100µH (MAX75_AC) or 33µH (MAX75_AE/AM) inductor
The inductor’s incremental saturation-current rating
should be greater than 1A, and its DC resistance
should be less than 0.8Ω. Table 2 lists inductor types
and suppliers for various applications. The surfacemount inductors and the larger-size through-hole
inductors have nearly equivalent efficiencies.
Adjusting the Output Voltage
The MAX750A/MAX758A have outputs adjustable from
1.25V to the input voltage. To set the output voltage,
connect a voltage divider to the feedback input pin
(CC) as shown in Figure 3. The output voltage is set by
R2 and R3 as follows:
Let R3 be any resistance in the 10kΩ to 20kΩ range
(typically 10kΩ), then
R2 = R3 [((VOUT/1.22V) - 1)]
Output tolerance over temperature is ±4.5% plus external resistor tolerances.
Output Filter Capacitor Selection
The primary criterion for selecting the output filter
capacitor is low equivalent series resistance (ESR).
The product of the inductor-current variation and the
ESR of the output capacitor determines the amplitude
of the sawtooth ripple seen on the output voltage. In
addition, the ESR of the output filter capacitor should
be minimized to maintain AC stability. The ESR of the
capacitor should be less than 0.25Ω to keep the output
ripple less than 50mVp-p over the entire current range
(using a 100µH inductor). Capacitor ESR ususally rises

as the temperature falls, and excessive ESR is the most
likely cause of trouble at temperatures below 0°C.
Sanyo OS-CON series through-hole and surface-mount
tantalum capacitors exhibit low ESR at temperatures
below 0°C. Refer to Table 2 for recommended capacitor values and suggested capacitor suppliers.
provides the widest input voltage range and best transient characteristics. For low-current applications, the
510kΩ resistor may be omitted (see the Maximum
Output Current vs. Supply Voltage, R1 Removed graph
in the Typical Operating Characteristics).
Other Components
A good layout is essential for clean, stable operation.
The layouts and component placement diagrams given
in Figures 4-7 have been successfully tested over a
wide range of operating conditions. The 1µF bypass
capacitor (C2) must be positioned as close to the V+
The catch diode should be a Schottky or high-speed
silicon rectifier with a peak current rating of about 1A
for full-load (750mA) operation. The 1N5817 is a good
choice. The 330pF outer-loop compensation capacitor

and GND pins as possible. Also, place the output
capacitor as close to the inductor and the GND pin as
possible. The traces connecting the input and output
filter capacitors and the catch diode must be short to
minimize inductance and capacitance. For this reason,
avoid using sockets, and solder the IC directly to the
PC board. Use an uninterrupted ground plane if possible; otherwise, use a star ground connection.
Output-Ripple Filtering
A simple lowpass pi-filter (Figure 3) can be added to
the output to reduce output ripple to about 5mVp-p.
The cutoff frequency with the values shown is 21kHz.
Since the filter inductor is in series with the circuit output, its resistance should be kept to a minimum so the
voltage drop across it is not excessive.
