Figure 5. Maximum Recommended Continuous Output Current
vs. Temperature
An internal transconductance amplifier fine tunes the
output DC accuracy. A capacitor, C
to V
For stability, choose C
A large capacitor value maintains a constant average
output voltage but slows the loop response to changes
in output voltage. A small capacitor value speeds up
the loop response to changes in output voltage but
decreases stability.
High ambient temperatures can limit the maximum
current or duty factor of the output current, depending
on the total copper, are connected to the MAX1830/
MAX1831 and available airflow.
Figure 5 shows the maximum recommended continuous
output current vs. ambient temperature. Figure 6 shows
the maximum recommended output current vs. the out-
put current duty cycle at high temperatures. These fig-
ures are based on 0.7in
Figure 6 assumes that the output current is a square
wave with a 100Hz frequency. The duty cycle is
defined as the duration of the burst current divided by
the period of the square wave. This figure shows the
limitations for continuous bursts of output current.
Note that if the thermal limitations of the MAX1830/
MAX1831 are exceeded, it enters thermal shutdown to
prevent destructive failure.

The operating frequency of the MAX1830/MAX1831 is
determined primarily by t
V
However, as the output current increases, the voltage
drop across the NMOS and PMOS switches increases
and the voltage across the inductor decreases. This
causes the frequency to drop. The change in frequency
can be approximated with the following formula:
where R
(50mΩ typ).
Good layout is necessary to achieve the MAX1830/
MAX1831s’ intended output power level, high efficien-
cy, and low noise. Good layout includes the use of a
ground plane, careful component placement, and cor-
rect routing of traces using appropriate trace widths.
