The internal oscillator generates the 180° out-of-phase
clock signal required by each regulator. The internal
oscillator frequency is programmable from 400kHz to

180° out-of-phase to reduce input filtering require-
ments, to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI),
and to improve efficiency. This effectively lowers com-
ponent cost and saves board space, making the
MAX5073 ideal for cost-sensitive applications.
With dual synchronized out-of-phase operation, the
MAX5073’s high-side MOSFETs turn on 180° out-of-
phase. The instantaneous input current peaks of both
regulators do not overlap, resulting in reduced RMS rip-
ple current and input voltage ripple. This reduces the
required input capacitor ripple current rating, allows for
fewer or less expensive capacitors, and reduces
shielding requirements for EMI. The out-of-phase wave-
forms in the Typical Operating Characteristics demon-

All internal control circuitry operates from an internally
regulated nominal voltage of 5.2V (VL). At higher input
voltages (V+) of 5.5V to 23V, VL is regulated to 5.2V.
At 5.5V or below, the internal linear regulator operates
in dropout mode, where VL follows V+. Depending on
the load on VL, the dropout voltage can be high
enough to reduce VL below the undervoltage lockout
(UVLO) threshold.
For input voltages of less than 5.5V, connect V+ and VL
together. The load on VL is proportional to the switch-
ing frequency of converter 1 and converter 2. See the
Dropout Voltage vs. Switching Frequency graph in the
Typical Operating Characteristics. For input voltage
ranges higher than 5.5V, use the internal regulator.
Bypass V+ to SGND with a low-ESR, 0.1µF or greater
ceramic capacitor placed close to the MAX5073. Current
spikes from VL may disturb internal circuitry powered by
VL. Bypass VL with a low-ESR, ceramic 0.1µF capacitor
to PGND and 4.7µF capacitor to SGND.
The MAX5073 includes an undervoltage lockout with
hysteresis and a power-on-reset circuit for converter
turn-on and monotonic rise of the output voltage. The
rising UVLO threshold is internally set to 4.3V with a
175mV hysteresis. Hysteresis at UVLO eliminates “chat-
tering” during startup. When VL drops below UVLO, the
internal switches are turned off.
Digital soft-start is provided internally to reduce input
surge currents and glitches at the input during turn-on.
When UVLO is cleared and EN_ is high, digital soft-
start slowly ramps up the internal reference voltage in
64 steps. The total soft-start period is 2048 switching
cycles of the internal oscillator.
To calculate the soft-start period, use the following
equation:
