Detailed Description

The MAX5082/MAX5083 are voltage-mode buck con-

verters with internal 0.3Ω power MOSFET switches. The

MAX5082 has a wide input voltage range of 4.5V to 40V.

The MAX5083’s input voltage range is 7.5V to 40V. The

current. The 250kHz fixed switching frequency, external

compensation, and voltage feed-forward simplify loop com-

pensation design and allow for a variety of L and C filter

components. Both devices offer an automatic switchover

to pulse-skipping (PFM) mode, providing low quiescent

current and high efficiency at light loads. Under no load, a

PFM mode operation reduces the current consumption to

only 1.4mA. In shutdown, the supply current falls to 200μA.

Additional features include an externally programmable

undervoltage lockout through the ON/OFF pin, a program-

mable soft-start, cycle-by-cycle current limit, hiccup mode

output short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown.

COMP

Error Amplifier Output. Connect COMP to the compensation feedback network.

FB

Feedback Regulation Point. Connect to the center tap of a resistive divider from converter

output to SGND to set the output voltage. The FB voltage regulates to the voltage present at

SS (1.23V).

ON/OFF

ON/OFF and External UVLO Control. The ON/OFF rising threshold is set to approximately

1.23V. Connect to the center tap of a resistive divider from IN to SGND to set the UVLO

(rising) threshold. Pull ON/OFF to SGND to shut down the device. ON/OFF can be used for

power-supply sequencing. Connect to IN for always-on operation.

SS

Soft-Start and Reference Output. Connect a capacitor from SS to SGND to set the soft-start

time. See the Applications Information section to calculate the value of the SS capacitor.

SYNC

Oscillator Synchronization Input. SYNC can be driven by an external 150kHz to 350kHz

clock to synchronize the MAX5082/MAX5083’s switching frequency. Connect SYNC to

SGND when not used.
