ciency and eliminates the external Schottky diode required
in conventional step-down converters. Both devices also
include internal digital soft-start to limit input current upon
startup and reduce input capacitor requirements.
The MAX1920 provides an adjustable output voltage
(1.25V to 4V). The MAX1921 provides factory-preset
output voltages (see the
Selector Guide).
Both are
available in space-saving 6-pin SOT23 packages. The
MAX1920 is also available in a 6-pin TDFN package.

NAME
FUNCTION
Supply voltage input for MAX1921EUT15 and MAX1921EUT18 is 2V to 5.5V. Supply voltage
input for MAX1920 and other voltage versions of MAX1921 is 2.5V to 5.5V. Bypass IN to GND
with a 2.2µF ceramic capacitor as close as possible to IN.
Analog Ground. Connect to PGND.
Active-Low Shutdown Input. Connect
SHDN
to IN for normal operation. In shutdown, LX
becomes high-impedance and quiescent current drops to 0.1µA.
MAX1921 Voltage Sense Input. OUT is connected to an internal voltage-divider.
MAX1920 Voltage Feedback Input. FB regulates to 1.25V nominal. Connect FB to an external
resistive voltage-divider between the output voltage and GND.

Detailed Description
The MAX1920/MAX1921 step-down DC-DC converters
deliver over 400mA to outputs as low as 1.25V. They use
a unique proprietary current-limited control scheme that
maintains extremely low quiescent supply current (50μA),
and their high 1.2MHz (max) operating frequency permits
small, low-cost external components.
either the high-side switch turns on again or the inductor
current approaches zero. The internal synchronous recti-
fier eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode.
This control scheme allows the MAX1920/MAX1921 to
provide excellent performance throughout the entire load-
current range. When delivering light loads, the high-side
switch turns off after the minimum on-time to reduce
peak inductor current, resulting in increased efficiency
and reduced output voltage ripple. When delivering medi-
um and higher output currents, the MAX1920/MAX1921
extend either the on-time or the off-time, as necessary to
maintain regulation, resulting in nearly constant frequency
operation with high-efficiency and low-output voltage ripple.
Control Scheme
The MAX1920/MAX1921 use a proprietary, current-limited
control scheme to ensure high-efficiency, fast transient
response, and physically small external components. This
control scheme is simple: when the output voltage is out of
regulation, the error comparator begins a switching cycle
by turning on the high-side switch. This switch remains
on until the minimum on-time of 400ns expires and the
output voltage regulates or the current-limit threshold is
exceeded. Once off, the high-side switch remains off until
the minimum off-time of 400ns expires and the output
voltage falls out of regulation. During this period, the low-
side synchronous rectifier turns on and remains on until

Shutdown Mode
Connecting

The MAX1920/MAX1921 have internal soft-start circuitry
that limits current draw at startup, reducing transients on
the input source. Soft-start is particularly useful for higher
impedance input sources, such as Li+ and alkaline cells.
Soft-start is implemented by starting with the current limit
at 25% of its full current value and gradually increas-
ing it in 25% steps until the full current limit is reached.
