General Description
The MAX5025–MAX5028 constant-frequency, pulse-
width modulating (PWM), low-noise boost converters
are intended for low-voltage systems that often need a
locally generated high voltage. These devices are
capable of generating low-noise, high output voltages
required for varactor diode biasing in TV tuners, set-top
boxes, and PCI cable modems. The MAX5025–
MAX5028 operate from as low as 3V and switch at
500kHz.
The constant-frequency, current-mode PWM architec-
ture provides for low output noise that is easy to filter. A
40V lateral DMOS device is used as the internal power
switch, making the devices ideal for boost converters
up to 36V. The MAX5025/MAX5026 adjustable versions
require the use of external feedback resistors to set the
output voltage. The MAX5027/MAX5028 offer a fixed
30V output. These devices are available in a small, 6-
pin SOT23 package.
