the output voltage. The controller forces the inductor cur-
rent to rise above the 300mA Idle Mode threshold to
ensure pulse skipping and improved efficiency at light
loads.
Auxiliary DC-DC Controllers
The MAX1800 auxiliary controllers operate in a low-noise,
fixed-frequency, PWM mode, with output power limited by
the external components. The controllers regulate their out-
put voltages by modulating the pulse width of the drive sig-
nal for an external N-channel MOSFET switch. The auxiliary
controllers are inactive until the main output has started.
Figure 3 shows a block diagram for a MAX1800 auxil-
iary PWM controller. A sawtooth oscillator signal at OSC
governs the internal timing. At the beginning of each
cycle, DL_ goes high to turn on the external MOSFET
switch. The MOSFET switch turns off when the internally
level-shifted sawtooth rises above COMP_ or when the
maximum duty cycle is exceeded. The switch remains
off until the beginning of the next cycle. An internal
transconductance amplifier establishes an integrated
error voltage at COMP_, thereby increasing the loop
gain for improved regulation accuracy.
