1A, 76V, High-Efficiency MAXPower

Step-Down DC-DC Converter
General Description Features
The MAX5035 easy-to-use, high-efficiency, high-volt- o Wide 7.5V to 76V Input Voltage Range
age, step-down DC-DC converter operates from an
o Fixed (3.3V, 5V, 12V) and Adjustable
input voltage up to 76V and consumes only 270µA qui-
escent current at no load. This pulse-width modulated (1.25V to 13.2V) Versions
(PWM) converter operates at a fixed 125kHz switching o 1A Output Current
frequency at heavy loads, and automatically switches o Efficiency Up to 94%
to pulse-skipping mode to provide low quiescent cur-
rent and high efficiency at light loads. The MAX5035 o Internal 0.4Ω High-Side DMOS FET
includes internal frequency compensation simplifying o 270µA Quiescent Current at No Load, 10µA
circuit implementation. The device uses an internal low- Shutdown Current
on-resistance, high-voltage, DMOS transistor to obtain
high efficiency and reduce overall system cost. This o Internal Frequency Compensation
device includes undervoltage lockout, cycle-by-cycle o Fixed 125kHz Switching Frequency
current limit, hiccup mode output short-circuit protec-
o Thermal Shutdown and Short-Circuit Current
tion, and thermal shutdown.
Limit
The MAX5035 delivers up to 1A output current. The out-
put current may be limited by the maximum power dis- o 8-Pin SO and PDIP Packages
sipation capability of the package. External shutdown is
included, featuring 10µA (typ) shutdown current. The Ordering

1 BST Boost Capacitor Connection. Connect a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor from BST to LX.
2 VD Internal Regulator Output. Bypass VD to GND with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor.
3 SGND Internal Connection. SGND must be connected to GND.
Output Sense Feedback Connection. For fixed output voltage (MAX5035A, MAX5035B, MAX5035C),
4 FB connect FB to VOUT. For adjustable output voltage (MAX5035D, MAX5035E), use an external resistive
voltage-divider to set VOUT. VFB regulating set point is 1.22V.
Shutdown Control Input. Pull ON/OFF low to put the device in shutdown mode. Drive ON/OFF high for
5 ON/OFF
normal operation.
6 GND Ground
7 VIN Input Voltage. Bypass VIN to GND with a low ESR capacitor as close to the device as possible.
