High-Efficiency, Seamless Transition,
Step-Up/Down DC-DC Converter
The MAX8625A output is nominally fixed at 3.3V.
Connect FB to GND to select the internally fixed-output
voltage. For an adjustable output voltage, connect FB
to the center tap of an external resistor-divider connect-
ed from the output to GND (R1 and R2 in Figure 3).
Select 100kΩ for R2 and calculate R1 using the follow-
ing equation:

Note that the minimum output voltage is limited by the
minimum duty cycle. V
The maximum output current provided by the MAX8625A
circuit depends on the inductor value, switching frequen-
cy, efficiency, and input/output voltage.
See the Typical Operating Characteristics section for
the Maximum Load Current vs. Input Voltage graph.
The input and output ripple currents are both discontin-
uous in this topology. Therefore, select at least two

22µF ceramic capacitors at the input. Select two 22µF
ceramic output capacitors. For best stability over a
wide temperature range, use X5R or better dielectric.
The recommended inductance range for the
MAX8625A is 3.3µH to 4.7µH. Larger values of L give a
smaller ripple, while smaller L values provide a better
transient response. This is because, for boost and step-
up/down topologies, the crossover frequency is
inversely proportional to the value of L for a given load
and input voltage. The MAX8625A is internally compen-
sated, and therefore, the choice of power components
for stable operation is bounded. A 3.3µH inductor with
2A rating is recommended for the 3.3V fixed output with
0.8A load.
Good PCB layout is important to achieve optimal per-
formance from the MAX8625A. Poor design can cause
excessive conducted and/or radiated noise.
Conductors carrying discontinuous currents and any
high-current path should be made as short and wide as
possible. Keep the feedback network (R1 and R2) very
close to the IC, preferably within 0.2 inches of the FB
and GND pins. Nodes with high dv/dt (switching
nodes) should be kept as small as possible and routed
away from FB. Connect the input and output capacitors
as close as possible to the IC. Refer to the MAX8625A
evaluation kit for a PCB layout example.
