Setting the Output Voltage
The MAX649/MAX651/MAX652 are preset for 5V, 3.3V,
and 3V output voltages, respectively. Tie FB to GND
for fixed-output operation. They may also be adjusted
from 1.5V (the reference voltage) to the input voltage,
using external resistors R2 and R3 configured as
shown in Figure 4. For adjustable-output operation,
150kΩ is recommended for resistor R3. 150kΩ is a
good value—high enough to avoid wasting energy, yet
low enough to avoid RC delays caused by parasitic
capacitance at FB. R2 is given by:
V
OUT
R2 = R3 x
[
——— -1
]
V
REF
where V
REF
= 1.5V.
When using external resistors, it does no harm to con-
nect OUT and the output together, or to leave OUT
unconnected.
Current-Sense Resistor Selection
The current-sense resistor limits the peak switch cur-
rent to 210mV/R
SENSE
, where R
SENSE
is the value of
the current-sense resistor, and 210mV is the current-
limit trip level (see
Electrical Characteristics
).
To maximize efficiency and reduce the size and cost
of external components, minimize the peak current.
However, since the available output current is a func-
tion of the peak current, the peak current must not
be too low.
To choose the proper current-sense resistor for a par-
ticular output voltage, determine the minimum input
voltage and the maximum load current. Next, referring
to Figures 5a, 5b, or 5c, using the minimum input volt-
age, find the curve with the largest sense resistor that
provides sufficient output current. It is not necessary
to perform worst-case calculations. These curves take
into account the worst-case values for sense resistor
(±5%), inductor (22µH ±10%), diode drop (0.6V), and
the IC’s current-sense trip level; an external MOSFET
on-resistance of 0.13Ω is assumed for V
GS
= -4.5V.
