with Integrated Switches

voltage exceeds the VCOMP signal or the current-limit

threshold is exceeded. The low-side switch is then

turned on for the remainder of the oscillator cycle.

Current Limit

The internal, high-side MOSFET has a typical 11A peak

current-limit threshold. When current flowing out of LX

exceeds this limit, the high-side MOSFET turns off and

the synchronous rectifier turns on. The synchronous

rectifier remains on until the inductor current falls below

the low-side current limit. This lowers the duty cycle

and causes the output voltage to droop until the current

limit is no longer exceeded. The MAX8646 uses a hic-

cup mode to prevent overheating during short-circuit

output conditions.

During current limit if VFB drops below 420mV and

stays below this level for 12µs or more, the part enters

hiccup mode. The high-side MOSFET and the synchro-

nous rectifier are turned off and both COMP and REFIN

are internally pulled low. If REFIN and SS are connect-

ed together, then both are pulled low. The part remains

in this state for 1024 clock cycles and then attempts to

restart for 128 clock cycles. If the fault causing current

limit has cleared, the part resumes normal operation.

Otherwise, the part reenters hiccup mode again.

Soft-Start and REFIN

The MAX8646 utilizes an adjustable soft-start function

to limit inrush current during startup. An 8µA (typ) cur-

rent source charges an external capacitor connected to

SS. The soft-start time is adjusted by the value of the

external capacitor from SS to GND. The required

capacitance value is determined as:

C = 8µA × tSS

0.6V

where tSS is the required soft-start time in seconds. The

MAX8646 also features an external reference input

(REFIN). The IC regulates FB to the voltage applied to

REFIN. The internal soft-start is not available when

using an external reference. A method of soft-start

when using an external reference is shown in Figure 2.

Connect REFIN to SS to use the internal 0.6V reference.

Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)

The UVLO circuitry inhibits switching when VDD is below

2V (typ). Once VDD rises above 2V (typ), UVLO clears

and the soft-start function activates. A 100mV hysteresis

is built in for glitch immunity. Figure 3 is the type III com-

pensation network.

BST

The gate-drive voltage for the high-side, n-channel

switch is generated by a flying-capacitor boost circuit.

The capacitor between BST and LX is charged from the

VIN supply while the low-side MOSFET is on. When the

low-side MOSFET is switched off, the voltage of the

capacitor is stacked above LX to provide the necessary

turn-on voltage for the high-side internal MOSFET.

Frequency Select (FREQ)

The switching frequency is resistor programmable from

500kHz to 2MHz. Set the switching frequency of the IC

with a resistor (RFREQ) connected from FREQ to GND.

RFREQ is calculated as:

RFREQ = 50kΩ × ( 1 − 0.05µs)

0.95µs fS

where fS is the desired switching frequency in Hz.

Power-Good Output (PWRGD)

PWRGD is an open-drain output that goes high imped-

ance when VFB is above 0.9 x VREFIN. PWRGD pulls

low when VFB is below 90% of its regulation for at least

48 clock cycles. PWRGD is low during shutdown.

Programming the Output Voltage

(CTL1, CTL2)

As shown in Table 1, the output voltage is pin program-

mable by the logic states of CTL1 and CTL2. CTL1 and

CTL2 are tri-level inputs: VDD, unconnected, and GND.

The logic states of CTL1 and CTL2 should be pro-

grammed only before power-up. Once the part is

enabled, CTL1 and CTL2 should not be changed. If the

output voltage needs to be reprogrammed, cycle

power or EN and reprogram before enabling.
