below 0.8V clears the overvoltage, undervoltage, and
thermal fault latches.
Connect FB_ to GND to enable the fixed, preset SMPS
output voltages (3.3V and 5V). Connect a resistive volt-
age-divider at FB_ between OUT_ and GND to adjust
the respective output voltage between 2V and 5.5V
(Figure 11). Choose R2 to be about 10kΩ and solve for
R1 using the equation:
where V
When using the adjustable output mode, set the 3.3V
SMPS lower than the 5V SMPS. LDO5 connects to OUT5
through an internal switch only when OUT5 is above the
LDO5 bootstrap-switch threshold (4.56V). LDO3 con-
nects to OUT3 through an internal switch only when
OUT3 is above the LDO3 bootstrap switch threshold
(2.91V). Bootstrapping is most effective when the fixed
output voltages are used. Once LDO_ is bootstrapped
from OUT_, the internal linear regulator turns off. This
reduces internal power dissipation and improves effi-
ciency when LDO_ is powered with a high input voltage.

Establish the input voltage range and maximum load
current before choosing an inductor and its associated
ripple-current ratio (LIR). The following four factors dic-
tate the rest of the design:
1) Input Voltage Range. The maximum value (V+

ratio of the peak-peak ripple current to the average
inductor current. Size and efficiency trade-offs must
be considered when setting the inductor ripple cur-
rent ratio. Low inductor values cause large ripple
currents, resulting in the smallest size, but poor effi-
ciency and high output noise. The minimum practi-
cal inductor value is one that causes the circuit to
operate at critical conduction (where the inductor
current just touches zero with every cycle at maxi-
mum load). Inductor values lower than this grant no
further size reduction benefit.
The MAX1777/MAX1977/MAX1999s’ pulse-skipping
algorithm (SKIP = GND) initiates skip mode at the
critical conduction point. So the inductor’s operat-
ing point also determines the load current at which
PWM/PFM switchover occurs. The optimum point is
usually found between 20% and 50% ripple current.

MAX1777 has a nominal switching frequency of
200kHz for the 5V SMPS and 300kHz for the 3.3V
SMPS. The MAX1977 has a nominal switching fre-
quency of 400kHz for the 5V SMPS and 500kHz for
the 3.3V SMPS. The MAX1999 has pin-selectable
switching frequency.
