When delivering high output currents, the MAX1649/
MAX1651 operate in continuous-conduction mode. In
this mode, current always flows in the inductor, and
the control circuit adjusts the switch duty cycle to main-
tain regulation without exceeding the switch current
capability (Figure 3). This provides excellent load-tran-
sient response and high efficiency.
In discontinuous-conduction mode, current through the
inductor starts at zero, rises to a peak value, then
ramps down to zero. Although efficiency is still excel-
lent, the output ripple increases slightly, and the switch
waveform exhibits ringing (at the inductor's self-reso-
nant frequency). This ringing is to be expected and
poses no operational problems.
The MAX1649/MAX1651 are in dropout when the input
voltage (V+) is low enough that the output drops below
the minimum output voltage specification (see
Electrical Characteristics). The dropout voltage is the
difference between the input and output voltage when

The MAX1649/MAX1651 are preset for 5V and 3.3V out-
put voltages, respectively; tie FB to GND for fixed-output
operation. They may also be adjusted from 1.5V (the
reference voltage) to the input voltage, using external
resistors R2 and R3 configured as shown in Figure 4. For
adjustable-output operation, 150kΩ is recommended for
resistor R3—high enough to avoid wasting energy, yet
low enough to avoid RC delays caused by parasitic
capacitance at FB. R2 is given by:

When using external resistors, it does no harm to con-
nect OUT and the output together, or to leave OUT
unconnected.
The current-sense resistor limits the peak switch cur-
rent to 110mV/R
the current-sense resistor, and 110mV is the current-
limit trip level (see Electrical Characteristics).
