Specifications of MAX1837EUT50+T
Lead Free Status / Rohs Status
Lead free / RoHS Compliant
The MAX1836/MAX1837 step-down converters are
designed primarily for battery-powered devices, note-
book computers, and industrial control applications. A
unique current-limited control scheme provides high
efficiency over a wide load range. Operation up to
100% duty cycle allows the lowest possible dropout
voltage, increasing the useable supply voltage range.
Under no-load, the MAX1836/MAX1837 draw only
12µA, and in shutdown mode, they draw only 3µA to
further reduce power consumption and extend battery
life. Additionally, an internal 24V switching MOSFET,

Dual-Mode Feedback Input. Connect to GND for the preset 3.3V (MAX183_EUT33) or 5.0V (MAX183_EUT50)
output. Connect to a resistive divider between the output and FB to adjust the output voltage between 1.25V

SHDN to IN.
Ground
Input Voltage. 4.5V to 24V input range. Connected to the internal p-channel power MOSFET’s source.
Inductor Connection. Connected to the internal p-channel power MOSFET’s drain.
Shutdown Input. A logic low shuts down the MAX1836/MAX1837 and reduces supply current to 3µA. LX is
high impedance in shutdown. Connect to IN for normal operation. When setting output voltages above 5.5V,
permanently connect SHDN to IN.
Regulated Output Voltage High-Impedance Sense Input. Internally connected to a resistive divider. Connect
to the output when using the preset output voltage. Connect to GND when using an external resistive divider
to adjust the output voltage.
Exposed Metal Pad. Connect to GND. This pad is internally connected to GND through a soft connect. For
proper grounding and good thermal dissipation, connect the exposed pad to GND.

internal current sensing, and a high switching frequen-
cy minimize PC board space and component cost.
The MAX1836/MAX1837 use a proprietary current-limit-
ed control scheme that operates with duty cycles up to
100%. These DC-DC converters pulse as needed to
maintain regulation, resulting in a variable switching fre-
quency that increases with the load. This eliminates the
high supply currents associated with conventional con-
stant-frequency pulse-width-modulation (PWM) con-
trollers that switch the MOSFET unnecessarily.
