__________________General Description
The MAX748A/MAX763A are 3.3V-output CMOS, step-
down switching regulators. The MAX748A accepts
inputs from 3.3V to 16V and delivers up to 500mA. The
MAX763A accepts inputs between 3.3V and 11V and
delivers up to 500mA. Typical efficiencies are 85% to
90%. Quiescent supply current is 1.4mA (MAX763A),
and only 0.2µA in shutdown.
Pulse-width-modulation (PWM) current-mode control pro-
vides precise output regulation and excellent transient
responses. Output voltage accuracy is guaranteed to be
±5% over line, load, and temperature variations.
Fixed-frequency switching allows easy filtering of output
ripple and noise, as well as the use of small external
components. A 22µH inductor works in most applica-
tions, so no magnetics design is necessary.
The MAX748A/MAX763A also feature cycle-by-cycle cur-
rent limiting, overcurrent limiting, undervoltage lockout,
and programmable soft-start protection. The MAX748A
is available in 8-pin DIP and 16-pin wide SO packages;
the MAX763A comes in 8-pin DIP and SO packages.

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.
