1A/2.7A, 1MHz, Step-Down Regulators with
Synchronous Rectification and Internal Switches
General Description
The MAX1742/MAX1842 constant-off-time, pulse-width-
modulated (PWM) step-down DC-DC converters are ideal
for use in 5V and 3.3V to low-voltage conversion neces-
sary in notebook and subnotebook computers. These
devices feature internal synchronous rectification for high
efficiency and reduced component count. They require
no external Schottky diode. The internal 90mΩ PMOS
power switch and 70mΩ NMOS synchronous-rectifier
switch easily deliver continuous load currents up to 1A.
The MAX1742/MAX1842 produce a preset 2.5V, 1.8V, or
1.5V output voltage or an adjustable output from 1.1V to
V
IN
. They achieve efficiencies as high as 95%.
The MAX1742/MAX1842 use a unique current-mode,
constant-off-time, PWM control scheme, which includes
Idle Mode™ to maintain high efficiency during light-load
operation. The programmable constant-off-time architec-
ture sets switching frequencies up to 1MHz, allowing the
user to optimize performance trade-offs between effi-
ciency, output switching noise, component size, and
cost. Both devices are designed for continuous output
currents up to 1A. The MAX1742 uses a peak current
limit of 1.3A (min) and is suitable for applications requir-
ing small external component size and high efficiency.
The MAX1842 has a higher current limit of 3.1A (min)
and is intended for applications requiring an occasional
burst of output current up to 2.7A. Both devices also fea-
ture an adjustable soft-start to limit surge currents during
startup, a 100% duty cycle mode for low-dropout opera-
tion, and a low-power shutdown mode that disconnects
the input from the output and reduces supply current
below 1µA. The MAX1742/MAX1842 are available in 16-
pin QSOP packages.
For similar devices that provide continuous output cur-
rents up to 2A and 3A, refer to the MAX1644 and
MAX1623 data sheets.

Note 1:
LX has internal clamp diodes to PGND and IN. Applications that forward-bias these diodes should take care not to exceed
the IC’s package power dissipation limits.
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.
