Description
The MAX724/MAX726 are monolithic, bipolar, pulse-width
modulation (PWM), switch-mode DC-DC regulators
optimized for step-down applications. The
MAX724 is rated at 5A, and the MAX726 at 2A. Few
external components are needed for standard operation
because the power switch, oscillator, and control
circuitry are all on-chip. Employing a classic buck
topology, these regulators perform high-current step-down
functions, but can also be configured as inverters,
negative boost converters, or flyback converters.
These regulators have excellent dynamic and transient
response characteristics, while featuring cycle-by-cycle
current limiting to protect against overcurrent faults and
short-circuit output faults. The MAX724/MAX726 also
have a wide 8V to 40V input range in the buck step-down
configuration. In inverting and boost configurations,
the input can be as low as 5V.
The MAX724/MAX726 are available in a 5-pin TO-220
package. The devices have a preset 100kHz oscillator
frequency and a preset current limit of 6.5A (MAX724)
or 2.6A (MAX726).
