19-1454; Rev 0; 4/99 MANUAL KIT ALUATION SHEET EV DATA FOLLOWS Low-Noise, 14V Input, 1A, PWM Step-Down Converters General Description Features M The MAX1684/MAX1685 are high-efficiency, internal- Up to 96% Efficiency A X switch, PWM step-down switching regulators intended to power cellular phones, communicating PDAs, and 1A Guaranteed Output Current handy-terminals. These devices deliver a guaranteed 1A 100% Duty Cycle in Dropout 1 output current from two Li-Ion batteries. Their wide input 6 8 voltage range of 2.7V to 14V gives design flexibility and 2.7V to 14V Input Range (15V absolute max) 4 allows batteries to charge from a wall cube, since the ICs ±1% Accurate Reference Output operate at the higher voltages that occur when the bat- / M tery is removed. The output voltage is preset to 3.3V or 0.24Ω P-Channel On-Resistance can be externally adjusted from 1.25V to VIN.
