General Description
The MAX5035 easy-to-use, high-efficiency, high-volt-
age, step-down DC-DC converter operates from an
input voltage up to 76V and consumes only 270µA qui-
escent current at no load. This pulse-width modulated
(PWM) converter operates at a fixed 125kHz switching
frequency at heavy loads, and automatically switches
to pulse-skipping mode to provide low quiescent cur-
rent and high efficiency at light loads. The MAX5035
includes internal frequency compensation simplifying
circuit implementation. The device uses an internal low-
on-resistance, high-voltage, DMOS transistor to obtain
high efficiency and reduce overall system cost. This
device includes undervoltage lockout, cycle-by-cycle
current limit, hiccup mode output short-circuit protec-
tion, and thermal shutdown.
The MAX5035 delivers up to 1A output current. The out-
put current may be limited by the maximum power dis-
sipation capability of the package. External shutdown is
included, featuring 10µA (typ) shutdown current. The
MAX5035A/B/C versions have fixed output voltages of
3.3V, 5V, and 12V, respectively, while the MAX5035D/E
versions have an adjustable output voltage from 1.25V
to 13.2V.
The MAX5035 is available in space-saving 8-pin SO
and 8-pin plastic DIP packages and operates over the
automotive (-40°C to +125°C) temperature range.

Step-Down DC-DC Converter
Detailed Description
The MAX5035 step-down DC-DC converter operates
from a 7.5V to 76V input voltage range. A unique volt-
age-mode control scheme with voltage feed-forward
and an internal switching DMOS FET provides high effi-
ciency over a wide input voltage range. This pulse-
width modulated converter operates at a fixed 125kHz
switching frequency. The device also features automat-
ic pulse-skipping mode to provide low quiescent cur-
rent and high efficiency at light loads. Under no load,
the MAX5035 consumes only 270µA, and in shutdown
mode, consumes only 10µA. The MAX5035 also fea-
tures undervoltage lockout, hiccup mode output short-
circuit protection, and thermal shutdown.
Shutdown Mode
Drive ON/OFF to ground to shut down the MAX5035.
Shutdown forces the internal power MOSFET off, turns
off all internal circuitry, and reduces the VIN supply cur-
rent to 10µA (typ). The ON/OFF rising threshold is
1.69V (typ). Before any operation begins, the voltage at
ON/OFF must exceed 1.69V (typ). The ON/OFF input
has 100mV hysteresis.
Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
Use the ON/OFF function to program the UVLO thresh-
old at the input. Connect a resistive voltage-divider
from VIN to GND with the center node to ON/OFF as
shown in Figure 1. Calculate the threshold value by
using the following formula:
The minimum recommended VUVLO(TH) is 6.5V, 7.5V, and
13V for the output voltages of 3.3V, 5V, and 12V, respec-
tively. The recommended value for R2 is less than 1MΩ.
If the external UVLO threshold-setting divider is not
used, an internal undervoltage-lockout feature monitors
the supply voltage at VIN and allows operation to start
when VIN rises above 5.2V (typ). This feature can be
used only when VIN rise time is faster than 2ms. For
slower VIN rise time, use the resistive-divider at
ON/OFF.
Boost High-Side Gate Drive (BST)
Connect a flying bootstrap capacitor between LX and
BST to provide the gate-drive voltage to the high-side
N-channel DMOS switch. The capacitor is alternately
charged from the internally regulated output voltage VD
and placed across the high-side DMOS driver. Use a
0.1µF, 16V ceramic capacitor located as close to the
device as possible.
On startup, an internal low-side switch connects LX to
ground and charges the BST capacitor to VD. Once the
BST capacitor is charged, the internal low-side switch
is turned off and the BST capacitor voltage provides
the necessary enhancement voltage to turn on the
high-side switch.
Thermal-Overload Protection
The MAX5035 features integrated thermal overload pro-
tection. Thermal overload protection limits total power
dissipation in the device, and protects the device in the
event of a fault condition. When the die temperature
exceeds +160°C, an internal thermal sensor signals the
shutdown logic, turning off the internal power MOSFET
and allowing the IC to cool. The thermal sensor turns the
internal power MOSFET back on after the IC’s die tem-
perature cools down to +140°C, resulting in a pulsed
output under continuous thermal overload conditions.
Applications Information
Setting the Output Voltage
The MAX5035A/B/C have preset output voltages of 3.3V,
5.0V, and 12V, respectively. Connect FB to the preset
output voltage (see the
Typical Operating Circuit
).
The MAX5035D/E versions offer an adjustable output
voltage. Set the output voltage with a resistive voltage-
divider connected from the circuit’s output to ground
(Figure 1). Connect the center node of the divider to
FB. Choose R4 less than 15kΩ, then calculate R3 as
follows:

Step-Down DC-DC Converter
The MAX5035 features internal compensation for opti-
mum closed-loop bandwidth and phase margin. With
the preset compensation, it is strongly advised to sense
the output immediately after the primary LC.
Inductor Selection
The choice of an inductor is guided by the voltage dif-
ference between VIN and VOUT, the required output
current, and the operating frequency of the circuit. Use
an inductor with a minimum value given by:
where:
IOUTMAX is the maximum output current required, and
fSW is the operating frequency of 125kHz. Use an induc-
tor with a maximum saturation current rating equal to at
least the peak switch current limit (ILIM). Use inductors
with low DC resistance for higher efficiency.
Selecting a Rectifier
The MAX5035 requires an external Schottky rectifier as
a freewheeling diode. Connect this rectifier close to the
device using short leads and short PC board traces.
Choose a rectifier with a continuous current rating
greater than the highest expected output current. Use a
rectifier with a voltage rating greater than the maximum
expected input voltage, VIN. Use a low forward-voltage
Schottky rectifier for proper operation and high efficien-
cy. Avoid higher than necessary reverse-voltage
Schottky rectifiers that have higher forward-voltage
drops. Use a Schottky rectifier with forward-voltage
drop (VFB) less than 0.45V at +25°C and maximum load
current to avoid forward biasing of the internal body
diode (LX to ground). Internal body diode conduction
may cause excessive junction temperature rise and
thermal shutdown. Use Table 1 to choose the proper
rectifier at different input voltages and output current.
Input Bypass Capacitor
The discontinuous input-current waveform of the buck
converter causes large ripple currents in the input
capacitor. The switching frequency, peak inductor cur-
rent, and the allowable peak-to-peak voltage ripple that
reflects back to the source dictate the capacitance
requirement. The MAX5035 high switching frequency
allows the use of smaller-value input capacitors.
The input ripple is comprised of ∆VQ(caused by the
capacitor discharge) and ∆VESR (caused by the ESR of
the capacitor). Use low-ESR aluminum electrolytic
capacitors with high ripple-current capability at the input.
Assuming that the contribution from the ESR and capaci-
tor discharge is equal to 90% and 10%, respectively, cal-
culate the input capacitance and the ESR required for a
specified ripple using the following equations:
IOUT is the maximum output current of the converter
and fSW is the oscillator switching frequency (125kHz).
For example, at VIN = 48V, VOUT = 3.3V, the ESR and
input capacitance are calculated for the input peak-to-
peak ripple of 100mV or less yielding an ESR and
capacitance value of 80mΩand 51µF, respectively.
Low-ESR, ceramic, multilayer chip capacitors are recom-
mended for size-optimized application. For ceramic
capacitors, assume the contribution from ESR and capaci-
tor discharge is equal to 10% and 90%, respectively.
The input capacitor must handle the RMS ripple current
without significant rise in temperature. The maximum
capacitor RMS current occurs at about 50% duty cycle.

Ensure that the ripple specification of the input capaci-
tor exceeds the worst-case capacitor RMS ripple cur-
rent. Use the following equations to calculate the input
capacitor RMS current:
IPRMS is the input switch RMS current, IAVGIN is the
input average current, and ηis the converter efficiency.
The ESR of aluminum electrolytic capacitors increases
significantly at cold temperatures. Use a 1µF or greater
value ceramic capacitor in parallel with the aluminum
electrolytic input capacitor, especially for input voltages
below 8V.
Output Filter Capacitor
The worst-case peak-to-peak and RMS capacitor ripple
current, allowable peak-to-peak output ripple voltage,
and the maximum deviation of the output voltage dur-
ing load steps determine the capacitance and the ESR
requirements for the output capacitors.
The output capacitance and its ESR form a zero, which
improves the closed-loop stability of the buck regulator.
Choose the output capacitor so the ESR zero frequency
(fZ) occurs between 20kHz to 40kHz. Use the following
equation to verify the value of fZ. Capacitors with 100mΩ
to 250mΩESR are recommended to ensure the closed-
loop stability, while keeping the output ripple low.
The output ripple is comprised of ∆VOQ (caused by the
capacitor discharge) and ∆VOESR (caused by the ESR
of the capacitor). Use low-ESR tantalum or aluminum
electrolytic capacitors at the output. Assuming that the
contributions from the ESR and capacitor discharge
equal 80% and 20% respectively, calculate the output
capacitance and the ESR required for a specified rip-
ple using the following equations:
The MAX5035 has an internal soft-start time (tSS) of
400µs. It is important to keep the output rise time at
startup below tSS to avoid output overshoot. The output
rise time is directly proportional to the output capacitor.
Use 68µF or lower capacitance at the output to control
the overshoot below 5%.
In a dynamic load application, the allowable deviation
of the output voltage during the fast-transient load dic-
tates the output capacitance value and the ESR. The
output capacitors supply the step load current until the
controller responds with a greater duty cycle. The
response time (tRESPONSE) depends on the closed-
loop bandwidth of the converter. The resistive drop
across the capacitor ESR and capacitor discharge
cause a voltage droop during a step load. Use a com-
bination of low-ESR tantalum and ceramic capacitors
for better transient load and ripple/noise performance.
Keep the maximum output-voltage deviation above the
tolerable limits of the electronics being powered.
Assuming a 50% contribution each from the output
capacitance discharge and the ESR drop, use the fol-
lowing equations to calculate the required ESR and
capacitance value:
where ISTEP is the load step and tRESPONSE is the
response time of the controller. Controller response
time is approximately one-third of the reciprocal of the
closed-loop unity-gain bandwidth, 20kHz typically.
PCB Layout Considerations
Proper PCB layout is essential. Minimize ground noise
by connecting the anode of the Schottky rectifier, the
input bypass capacitor ground lead, and the output fil-
ter capacitor ground lead to a single point (“star”

Minimize lead lengths to reduce stray capacitance,
trace resistance, and radiated noise. In particular,
place the Schottky rectifier diode right next to the
device. Also, place BST and VD bypass capacitors
very close to the device. Use the PC board copper
plane connecting to VIN and LX for heatsinking.
