Detailed Description
S2 IN OUT The MAX1595 charge pump provides either a 3.3V or 5V regulated output. It delivers a maximum 125mA load cur- rent. In addition to boost regulating from a lower supply, C S1 X it is also capable of buck regulating from supplies that exceed the regulated output by a diode drop or more. C Designed specifically for compact applications, a com- IN COUT plete regulator circuit requires only three small external capacitors. An innovative control scheme provides con- OSC stant frequency operation from medium to heavy loads, while smoothly transitioning to low-power mode at light loads to maintain optimum efficiency. In buck mode, switch S1 (Figure 1) is switched continuously to IN, while switch S2 alternates between IN and OUT. An amount of Figure 1.
