General Description
The MAX5035 easy-to-use, high-efficiency, high-volt-
age, step-down DC-DC converter operates from an
input voltage up to 76V and consumes only 350µA qui-
escent current at no load. This pulse-width modulated
(PWM) converter operates at a fixed 125kHz switching
frequency at heavy loads, and automatically switches
to pulse-skipping mode to provide low quiescent cur-
rent and high efficiency at light loads. The MAX5035
includes internal frequency compensation simplifying
circuit implementation. The device uses an internal low-
on-resistance, high-voltage, DMOS transistor to obtain
high efficiency and reduce overall system cost. This
device includes undervoltage lockout, cycle-by-cycle
current limit, hiccup mode output short-circuit protec-
tion, and thermal shutdown.
The MAX5035 delivers up to 1A output current. External
shutdown is included, featuring 10µA (typ) shutdown
current. The MAX5035A/B/C versions have fixed output
voltages of 3.3V, 5V, and 12V, respectively, while the
MAX5035D features an adjustable output voltage from
1.25V to 13.2V.
The MAX5035 is available in space-saving 8-pin SO
and 8-pin plastic DIP packages and operates over the
industrial (0°C to +85°C) temperature range.
