Note 1: DC output accuracy specifications refer to the threshold of the error comparator. When the inductor is in continuous conduc-
tion, the MAX17101 regulates the valley of the output ripple, so the actual DC output voltage is higher than the trip level by
50% of the output ripple voltage. In discontinuous conduction (I
OUT
< I
LOAD(SKIP)
), the output voltage has a DC regulation
level higher than the error-comparator threshold by approximately 1.5% due to slope compensation.
Note 2: On-time and off-time specifications are measured from 50% point to 50% point at the DH pin with LX = PGND, VBST = 5V,
and a 500pF capacitor from DH to LX to simulate external MOSFET gate capacitance. Actual in-circuit times might be differ-
ent due to MOSFET switching speeds.
Note 3: Specifications to T
A
= -40°C are guaranteed by design and not production tested.
Note 4: Specifications increased by 1
Ω to account for test measurement error.
