MAX1970EEE+

Conv DC-DC 2.6V to 5.5V Step Down Dual-Out 0.8V to 5.5V/1.8V/1.5V/3.3V/2.5V 0.75A 16Pin QSOP

The is a dual, 180° out of phase step down regulator in 16 pin QSOP package. It is a smallest internal switch step down converter for GBICs, xDSL modems and routers, USB powered devices and dual LDO replacement applications. This current mode PWM buck regulator operates from 2.6V to 5.5V input and delivers minimum of 750mA on each output. The MAX1970 operates at fixed 1.4MHz frequency to reduce output inductor/capacitor size and cost. Ceramic capacitors can be used for input and output. The output voltages are programmable from 1.2V to VIN using external feedback resistors or can be preset to 1.8V or 3.3V for output 1 and 1.5V or 2.5V for output 2. Internal soft start reduces inrush current during start-up. The MAX1970 has power-on reset active-low POR function and also has an open drain power fail output PFO that monitors input voltage and goes high when input falls below 3.94V. For USB powered xDSL modems, this output can be used to detect USB power failure.
