Abstract: As system integration becomes increasingly complex, the need for smaller power supplies with fast transient response becomes more pronounced. The MAX8505, an internal switch step-down regulator with 1MHz frequency, exemplies this by packing 3A output current in less than 0.6 sq. inches. Today's compact designs demand small footprints. Power supplies are no exception. The MAX8505, a 3A internal switch step-down regulator, is designed to meet this requirement. The part is available in a QSOP 16 package, which occupies the same footprint of an SO-8 package. Its 1MHz switching frequency, allows customers to use only ceramic capacitors in their designs, resulting in small footprint power supplies. Figure 1 shows the schematic of the MAX8505 operating at 1MHz with all ceramic capacitors. Figure 1. Schematics of the MAX8505 step-down regulator operating at 1MHz. The MAX8505 employs a peak current mode control architecture that simplifies the voltage feedback loop compensation. A simple Type II compensation network (R1 and C8) stabilizes its feedback loop, further reducing the external component account. The above circuit is designed for 1% initial set output voltage error and 5% maximum output voltage deviation for 50% step load change (25% to 75%), as shown in Figure 2. The output voltage is set to 3.3V, however, other output voltages (from 0.8V to 3.3V) can be set by changing the feedback resistor divider (R2, R3, and R4). The above circuit is stable with any output voltage from 0.8V to 3.3V. Table 1 shows the bill of materials. Table 1.
