MAX8649
Description
The MAX8649 high-efficiency DC-to-DC step-down switching regulator delivers up to 1.8A of output current. The device operates from a 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage range, making it future proof for next-generation battery technologies. The output voltage is I2C programmable from 0.75V to 1.38V. Fully differential remote sense ensures precise DC regulation at the load. Total output error is less than 2% over load, line, and temperature. The MAX8649 operates at a 3.25MHz fixed frequency. The high operating frequency minimizes the size of external ponents. The switching frequency of the converter can be synchronized to the master clock of the application. When synchronizing to an external clock, the MAX8649 measures the frequency of the external clock to ensure that the clock is stable before changing the switching frequency to the external clock frequency. An on-board DAC allows adjustment of the output voltage in 10m V steps. The output voltage can be programmed directly through...
