Max1802 digital camera step-down power supply, General description, Applications

General Description
The MAX1802 provides a complete power-supply solu-
tion for digital still cameras and video cameras by inte-
grating two high-efficiency step-down DC-DC converters
and three auxiliary step-up controllers. This complete
solution is targeted for applications that use either three
to four alkaline cells or two lithium-ion (Li+) cells.
The main step-down DC-DC controller accepts inputs
from 2.5V to 11V and regulates a resistor-adjustable out-
put from 2.7V to 5.5V. It uses a synchronous rectifier to
regulate the output with up to 94% efficiency. An
adjustable operating frequency (up to 1MHz) facilitates
designs for optimum size, cost, and efficiency.
The core step-down DC-DC converter accepts inputs
from 2.7V to 5.5V and regulates a resistor-adjustable
output from 1.25V to 5.5V. It delivers 500mA with up to
94% efficiency.
The three auxiliary step-up controllers can be used to
power the digital camera’s CCD, LCD, and backlight.
The MAX1802 also features expandability by supplying
power, an oscillator signal, and a reference to the
MAX1801, a low-cost slave DC-DC controller that sup-
ports step-up, single-ended primary inductance con-
verter (SEPIC), and fly-back configurations.
The MAX1802 is available in a space-saving 32-pin
TQFP package (5mm x 5mm body), and the MAX1801
is available in an 8-pin SOT-23 package. An evaluation
kit (MAX1802EVKIT) featuring both devices is available
to expedite designs.
