General Description
The MAX1970/MAX1971/MAX1972 dual-output current-mode PWM buck regulators operate from 2.6V to 5.5V input and deliver a minimum of 750mA on each output. The MAX1970 and MAX1972 operate at a fixed 1.4MHz (MAX1971 operates at 700kHz) to reduce output inductor and capacitor size and cost. Switching the regulators 180° out-of-phase also reduces the input capacitor size and cost. Ceramic capacitors can be used for input and output.
