through the high-side MOSFET body diode, back to the
input, until the beginning of the next cycle or until the
inductor current drops to zero. The MAX1951/MAX1952
utilize a pulse-skip mode to prevent overheating during
short-circuit output conditions. The device enters pulse-
skip mode when the FB voltage drops below 300mV, lim-
iting the current to 3A (typ) and reducing power
dissipation. Normal operation resumes upon removal of
the short-circuit condition.
Due to the high switching frequency and tight output
tolerance (1%), decouple V

The MAX1951/MAX1952 employ digital soft-start circuitry
to reduce supply inrush current during startup conditions.
When the device exits undervoltage lockout (UVLO), shut-
down mode, or restarts following a thermal-overload
event, or the external pulldown on COMP is released, the
digital soft-start circuitry slowly ramps up the voltages at
REF and FB (see the Soft-Start Waveforms in the Typical
Operating Characteristics).

The output of the internal transconductance voltage
error amplifier connects to COMP. The normal operation
voltage for COMP is 1V to 2.2V. To shut down the
MAX1951/MAX1952, use an NPN bipolar junction
transistor or a very low output capacitance open-drain
MOSFET to pull COMP to GND. Shutdown mode causes
the internal MOSFETs to stop switching, forces LX to a
high-impedance state, and shorts REF to GND.
Release COMP to exit shutdown and initiate the soft-
start sequence.
Thermal-overload protection limits total power dissipation
in the device. When the junction temperature exceeds T
= +160°C, a thermal sensor forces the device into shut-
down, allowing the die to cool. The thermal sensor turns
the device on again after the junction temperature cools
by 15°C, resulting in a pulsed output during continuous
overload conditions. Following a thermal-shutdown condi-
tion, the soft-start sequence begins.
