19-2622; Rev 2; 6/09 1MHz, All-Ceramic, 2.6V to 5.5V Input,2A PWM Step-Down DC-to-DC RegulatorsMAX1951/MAX1952General DescriptionFeatures The MAX1951/MAX1952 high-efficiency, DC-to-DC ♦ Compact 0.385in2 Circuit Footprint step-down switching regulators deliver up to 2A of out- put current. The devices operate from an input voltage ♦ 10µF Ceramic Input and Output Capacitors, 2µH range of 2.6V to 5.5V and provide an output voltage Inductor for 1.5A Output from 0.8V to VIN, making the MAX1951/MAX1952 ideal ♦ Efficiency Up to 94% for on-board postregulation applications. The MAX1951 total output error is less than 1% over load, line, and ♦ 1% Output Accuracy Over Load, Line, and temperature. Temperature (MAX1951, Up to 1.5A) The MAX1951/MAX1952 operate at a fixed frequency of ♦ Guaranteed 2A Output Current 1MHz with an efficiency of up to 94%. The high operating frequency minimizes the size of external components. ♦ Operate from 2.6V to 5.5V Supply Internal soft-start control circuitry reduces inrush current. ♦ Adjustable Output from 0.8V to VIN (MAX1951) Short-circuit and thermal-overload protection improve design reliability. ♦ Preset Output of 1.8V (1.5% Accuracy) (MAX1952) The MAX1951 provides an adjustable output from 0.8V ♦ Internal Digital Soft-Soft to VIN, whereas the MAX1952 has a preset output of 1.8V. Both devices are available in a space-saving 8-pin ♦ Short-Circuit and Thermal-Overload Protection SO package.
