Note 2: Output voltage accuracy specifications apply to DAC voltages from 0.6V to 2.0V. Includes load-regulation error.
Note 3: When the inductor is in continuous conduction, the output voltage will have a DC regulation level higher than the error-com-
parator threshold by 50% of the ripple. In discontinuous conduction (SKIP = GND, light load), the output voltage will have a
DC regulation level higher than the trip level by approximately 1.5% due to slope compensation.
Note 4: On-time and off-time specifications are measured from 50% to 50% at the DH pin, with LX forced to 0, BST forced to 5V, and
a 500pF capacitor from DH to LX to simulate external MOSFET gate capacitance. Actual in-circuit times may be different
due to MOSFET switching speeds.
Note 5: The MAX1854 does not have overvoltage protection.
Note 6: Specifications to -40°C are guaranteed by design, not production tested.
