_______________Detailed Description
The MAX608 is a BiCMOS, step-up, switch-mode pow-
er-supply controller that provides a preset 5V output, in
addition to adjustable-output operation. Its unique con-
trol scheme combines the advantages of pulse-frequen-
cy modulation (low supply current) and pulse-width
modulation (high efficiency with heavy loads), providing
high efficiency over a wide output current range, as well
as increased output current capability over previous
PFM devices. In addition, the external sense resistor
and power transistor allow the user to tailor the output
current capability for each application. Figure 1 shows
the MAX608 functional diagram. The device has a shut-
down mode that reduces the supply current to 5µA
max.
Figure 2 shows the standard application circuits. The
IC is powered from the output, and the input voltage
range is 1.8V to V
OUT
(this configuration is commonly
known as bootstrap operation). The voltage applied to
the gate of the external power transistor is switched
from V
OUT
to ground.
The MAX608’s output voltage can be set to 5V by con-
necting FB to ground; it can also be adjusted from 3V
to 16.5V using external resistors. Use 1% external feed-
back resistors when operating in adjustable-output
mode (Figures 2b, 2c) to achieve an overall output volt-
age accuracy of ±5%.
PFM Control Scheme
The MAX608 uses a proprietary current-limited PFM con-
trol scheme to provide high efficiency over a wide range
of load currents. This control scheme combines the ultra-
low supply current of PFM converters (or pulse skippers)
with the high full-load efficiency of PWM converters.
