MAX761/MAX762
_______________General Description
The MAX761/MAX762 step-up switching regulators
provide high efficiency over a wide range of load currents,
delivering up to 150mA. A unique, current-limited
pulse-frequency-modulated (PFM) control scheme gives
the devices the benefits of pulse-width-modulated (PWM)
converters (high efficiency with heavy loads), while using
less than 110µA of supply current (vs. 2mA to 10mA for
PWM converters). The result is high efficiency over a wide
range of loads.
The MAX761/MAX762 input voltage range is 2V to 16.5V.
Output voltages are preset to 12V (MAX761) and 15V
(MAX762), or they can be set with two external resistors.
With a 5V input, the MAX761 guarantees a 12V, 150mA
output. Its high efficiency, low supply current, fast start-up
time, SHDN controlling capability, and small size make the
MAX761 ideal for powering flash memory.
The MAX761/MAX762 have an internal 1A power MOSFET, making them ideal for minimum-component, low- and
medium-power applications. These devices use tiny external components, and their high switching frequencies (up
to 300kHz) allow for small surface-mount magnetics.
For increased output drive capability or higher output voltages, use the MAX770–MAX773, which are similar in
design to the MAX761/MAX762, but drive external power
MOSFETs. For stepping up to 5V, see the MAX756/
MAX757 and MAX856-MAX859 data sheets.
