Voltage regulators control the voltage of devices in many applications. They are often used to power medical devices, automotive and aerospace applications, and industrial automation systems. The MAX633ACPA+ is a DC to DC switching voltage regulator used in many of these applications. This application note explains the MAX633ACPA+ application field and working principle.

Features of the MAX633ACPA+

The MAX633ACPA+ is a low-cost, wide input voltage range DC to DC switching voltage regulator. It features an input voltage range of 4.5V to 18.5V and a fixed 5V output voltage. The MAX633ACPA+ is designed to provide up to 1A of current and is packaged in a small 6-pin Sulpak-N08 package.

The MAX633ACPA+ also features over-temperature protection, over-current protection, and thermal shutdown. It also has an auto-restart function that allows the regulator to restart after an over-temperature shutdown. The MAX633ACPA+ is also designed to be very efficient, with a typical efficiency of 95%.

Application Fields

The MAX633ACPA+ is suitable for applications such as automotive and aerospace, industrial automation and medical device power supplies. It is also suitable for low-voltage embedded systems such as Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and microcontrollers. Its wide input voltage range makes it suitable for applications with an input voltage range of 4.5V to 18.5V.

The MAX633ACPA+ is well suited for applications with short circuit protection requirements. The MAX633ACPA+ features a short circuit protection circuit that limits the output current in the event of a short circuit. When the output current exceeds the preset limit, the device enters thermal shutdown mode.

Working Principle

The MAX633ACPA+ features a synchronous switching regulator topology. In this topology, the output voltage is regulated through the use of a voltage divider and a control loop. The voltage divider consists of a resistor and a capacitor, which divide the input voltage. The control loop consists of the error amplifier, current limit circuit, and the pulse width modulator (PWM).

The error amplifier amplifies the difference between the input voltage and the feedback voltage. The current limit circuit limits the current through the power MOSFETs. The PWM modulates the width of the pulses sent to the power MOSFETs to maintain the output voltage. The output voltage is regulated through the adjustment of the feedback voltage.

Conclusion

The MAX633ACPA+ is a low-cost, high efficiency DC to DC switching voltage regulator. It is suitable for many applications such as automotive and aerospace, industrial automation and medical device power supplies. Its wide input voltage range and current limit protection make it ideal for applications with a requirement for short circuit protection. The MAX633ACPA+ features a synchronous switching regulator topology that regulates the output voltage using a voltage divider and a control loop.
