MAX770–MAX773
frequencies (up to 300kHz), allowing the use of tiny
external components.
As with traditional PFM converters, the power transistor
is not turned on until the voltage comparator senses
that the output is out of regulation. However, unlike tra-
ditional PFM converters, the MAX770–MAX773 switch
using the combination of a peak current limit and a pair
of one-shots that set the maximum on-time (16µs) and
minimum off-time (2.3µs); there is no oscillator. Once
off, the minimum off-time one-shot holds the switch
off for 2.3µs. After this minimum time, the switch either
1) stays off if the output is in regulation, or 2) turns on
again if the output is out of regulation.
The control circuitry allows the ICs to operate in contin-
uous-conduction mode (CCM) while maintaining high
efficiency with heavy loads. When the power switch is
5V/12V/15V or Adjustable, High-Efficiency,
