MAX17083 Low-voltage, step-down regulator saves space in compact applications

Step-down regulator has low input voltage for UMPCs.

SUNNYVALE, CA—June 18, 2009—Maxim Integrated Products (NASDAQ: MXIM) introduces the MAX17083, a low-voltage, step-down regulator with an internal boost switch. Designed for space-constrained applications, this device integrates dual n-channel MOSFET power switches in a small, 16mm² TQFN package. Easily supporting a continuous load current up to 5A, the internal 25mΩ, low-side power MOSFETs ensure high efficiency while reducing component count. For further space and cost savings, the MAX17083 eliminates the need for external Schottky diodes, as well as an external boost diode. This small step-down regulator is ideal for ultra-mobile PCs (UMPCs), netbooks, portable gaming devices, and other low-power, compact applications.

The MAX17083 uses a current-mode, fixed-frequency control scheme to provide an easy-to-implement architecture that does not sacrifice transient response. This architecture also provides peak-current-limit protection and operates in pulse-skipping mode to maintain high efficiency under light-load conditions.

This step-down regulator produces an adjustable 0.75V to 2.7V output voltage from the system's 3.3V or 5V input supply. It is available in a space-saving, 4mm x 4mm, 24-pin TQFN package, and is fully specified over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range. Prices start at $2.75 (1000-up, FOB USA). An evaluation kit with recommended external components is available to reduce design time.

Maxim Integrated Products is a publicly traded company that designs, manufactures, and sells high-performance semiconductor products. The Company reported revenue in excess of $2 billion for fiscal 2008. Maxim was founded over 25 years ago with the mission to deliver innovative analog and mixed-signal engineering solutions that add value to its customers' products. To date, it has developed over 6000 products serving the industrial, communications, consumer, and computing markets.
