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

FUNCTION
Inductor Connection to the Internal Drains of the p-channel and n-channel MOSFETs. High impedance

Ground. Connect these pins together directly under the IC.
Output Sense Input. Bypass with a ceramic capacitor as close as possible to pin 3 (OUT) and pin 2 (GND).
OUT is internally connected to the internal feedback network.
Active-Low Shutdown Input. A logic-low on
SHDN
disables the step-down DC-DC and resets the logic. A logic-

enables the step-down DC-DC. Ensure that
SHDN

Detailed Description
The MAX8640Y/MAX8640Z step-down converters deliv-
er over 500mA to outputs from 0.8V to 2.5V. They utilize
a proprietary hysteretic PWM control scheme that
switches at up to 4MHz (MAX8640Z) or 2MHz
(MAX8640Y), allowing some trade-off between efficien-
cy and size of external components. At loads below
100mA, the MAX8640Y/MAX8640Z automatically switch
to pulse-skipping mode to minimize the typical quies-
cent current (28µA). Output ripple remains low at all
loads, while the skip-mode switching frequency
remains ultrasonic down to 1mA (typ) loads. Figure 1 is
the simplified functional diagram.
Voltage-Positioning Load Regulation
The MAX8640Y/MAX8640Z utilize a unique feedback
network. By taking DC feedback from the LX node, the
usual phase lag due to the output capacitor is
removed, making the loop exceedingly stable and
allowing the use of very small ceramic output capacitors.
This configuration yields load regulation equal to the
inductor’s series resistance multiplied by the load current.
This voltage-positioning load regulation greatly reduces
overshoot during load transients, effectively halving the
peak-to-peak output-voltage excursions compared to tra-
ditional step-down converters. See the Load-Transient
Response in the
Typical Operating Characteristics.
Control Scheme
A proprietary hysteretic PWM control scheme ensures
high efficiency, fast switching, fast transient response,
low output ripple, and physically tiny external compo-
nents. This control scheme is simple: when the output
voltage is below the regulation threshold, the error
comparator begins a switching cycle by turning on the
high-side switch. This switch remains on until the mini-
mum on-time expires and the output voltage is above
the regulation threshold or the inductor current is above
the current-limit threshold. Once off, the high-side
switch remains off until the minimum off-time expires
and the output voltage falls again below the regulation
threshold. During the off period, the low-side synchro-
nous rectifier turns on and remains on until either the
high-side switch turns on again or the inductor current
approaches zero. The internal synchronous rectifier
eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode.
Shutdown Mode
A logic-low on
SHDN
places the MAX8640Y/MAX8640Z
in shutdown mode by disabling the step-down DC-DC
and resetting its logic. In shutdown mode, the supply
current (I
CC
) is reduced to 0.01µA typical. Additionally,
the power MOSFETs between IN, LX, and GND
(Figure 1) are open such that LX is high impedance.
Ensure that
SHDN
is low for
≥
10µs (t
SHDN
) after V
IN
rises above its undervoltage lockout threshold (UVLO)
to reset the logic. In the majority of systems, this t
SHDN
requirement is fulfilled naturally because the upstream
logic controlling
SHDN
is powered off of the same V
IN
as the MAX8640Y/MAX8640Z. However, systems that
want an always on regulator without the burden of
enable/disable logic can use an R and C circuit on
