MAX764ESA+T

The MAX764/MAX765/MAX766 inverting switching regulators are highly efficient over a wide range of load currents, delivering up to 1.5W. A unique, current-limited,
pulse-frequency-modulated (PFM) control scheme combines the benefits of traditional PFM converters with the
benefits of pulse-width-modulated (PWM) converters.
Like PWM converters, the MAX764/MAX765/MAX766 are
highly efficient at heavy loads. Yet because they are PFM
devices, they use less than 120µA of supply current (vs.
2mA to 10mA for a PWM device).
The input voltage range is 3V to 16V. The output voltage is preset at -5V (MAX764), -12V (MAX765), or -15V
(MAX766); it can also be adjusted from -1V to -16V
using two external resistors (Dual ModeTM). The maximum operating VIN – VOUT differential is 20V.
These devices use miniature external components; their
high switching frequencies (up to 300kHz) allow for less
than 5mm diameter surface-mount magnetics. A standard 47µH inductor is ideal for most applications, so no
magnetics design is necessary.
An internal power MOSFET makes the MAX764/MAX765/
MAX766 ideal for minimum component count, low- and
medium-power applications. For increased output drive
capability or higher output voltages, use the
MAX774/MAX775/MAX776 or MAX1774, which drive an
external power P-channel MOSFET for loads up to 5W
