operate over a 2.6V to 16.5V input voltage range. The
controllers deliver load current from 1mA to more than
2A. The MAX1626 has pin-selectable 3.3V and 5V out-
puts. The MAX1627 supports adjustable outputs from
1.3V to 16V.
A unique current-limited, pulse-frequency-modulation
(PFM) control scheme operates up to 100% duty cycle,
resulting in very low dropout voltage. This control
scheme eliminates minimum load requirements and
reduces supply current under light loads to 90µA
(versus 2mA to 10mA for common pulse-width modula-
tion controllers).
The devices are available in a 8-pin SOIC package
(-40°C to +85°C) and dice (0°C to +70°C).

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
