Figure 1. Standard Application Circuit
_______Standard Application Circuits
The predesigned MAX1639 circuit shown in Figure 1
meets a wide range of applications with output currents
up to 35A. Use Table 1 to select components appropri-
ate for the desired output current range, and adapt the
evaluation kit PC board layout as necessary. This cir-
cuit represents a good set of trade-offs between cost,
size, and efficiency while staying within the worst-case
specification limits for stress-related parameters, such
as capacitor ripple current.
The MAX1639 circuit was designed for the specified fre-
quencies. Do not change the switching frequency with-
out first recalculating component values—particularly
the inductance, output filter capacitance, and RC1
resistance values.
___________________Detailed Description
The MAX1639 is a BiCMOS power-supply controller
designed for use in switch-mode, step-down (buck)
topology DC-DC converters. Synchronous rectification
provides high efficiency. It is intended to provide the
high precision, low noise, excellent transient response,
and high efficiency required in today’s most demand-
ing applications.
