Key Featrues

High Switching Frequency (4MHz/2MHz): The MAX8640Y/MAX8640Z supports switching frequencies up to 4MHz (MAX8640Z) or 2MHz (MAX8640Y), enabling the use of extremely small external components like 1µH inductors and 2.2µF capacitors. This feature significantly reduces the overall footprint of the circuit, making it ideal for space-constrained applications such as mobile devices and handheld electronics.
Guaranteed 500mA Output Current: With a guaranteed output current of 500mA, the device ensures reliable power delivery for demanding loads, such as microprocessors, DSP cores, and I/O power systems. This capability enhances its suitability for high-performance applications without compromising stability.
Low Quiescent Current (28µA): The quiescent current of just 28µA minimizes power consumption during idle or light-load conditions, improving overall energy efficiency. This is particularly beneficial for battery-powered devices, extending their operational life.
Factory-Preset Output Voltages (0.8V to 2.5V): The device eliminates the need for external feedback components by offering factory-preset output voltages ranging from 0.8V to 2.5V. This simplifies design, reduces component count, and ensures precise voltage regulation with ±1% initial accuracy.
Ultrasonic Skip Mode for Light Loads: The ultrasonic skip mode optimizes efficiency at light loads down to 1mA, reducing power loss and improving battery life in low-power applications. This feature ensures consistent performance across a wide range of load conditions, enhancing versatility.
