5-Channel Slim DSC Power Supplies
The MAX1584/MAX1585 provide a complete powersupply solution for slim digital cameras. They improve
performance, component count, and size compared to
conventional multichannel controllers in 2-cell AA, 1-cell
Li+, and dual-battery designs. On-chip MOSFETs provide up to 95% efficiency for critical power supplies,
while additional channels operate with external FETs for
optimum design flexibility. This optimizes overall efficiency and cost, while also reducing board space.
The MAX1584/MAX1585 include 5 high-efficiency DCDC conversion channels:
• Step-up DC-DC converter with on-chip FETs
• Step-down DC-DC converter with on-chip FETs
• Three PWM DC-DC controllers for CCD, LCD, LED,
or other functions
The step-down DC-DC converter can operate directly
from the battery or from the step-up output, providing
boost-buck capability with a compound efficiency of up
to 90%. Both devices include three PWM DC-DC controllers: the MAX1584 includes two step-up controllers
and one step-down controller, while the MAX1585
includes one step-up controller, one inverting controller,
and one step-down controller. All DC-DC channels
operate at one fixed frequency—settable from 100kHz
to 1MHz—to optimize size, cost, and efficiency. Other
features include soft-start, power-OK outputs, and overload protection. The MAX1584/MAX1585 are available
in space-saving, 32-pin thin QFN packages. An evaluation kit is available to expedite designs.

that forward bias these diodes should take care not to exceed the device’s power dissipation limits.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 2: The MAX1584/MAX1585 are powered from the step-up output (PVSU). An internal low-voltage startup oscillator drives the
step-up starting at about 0.9V until PVSU reaches approximately 2.5V. When PVSU reaches 2.5V, the main control circuitry
takes over. Once the step-up is up and running, it can maintain operation with very low input voltages; however, output current is limited.
Note 3: Since the device is powered from PVSU, a Schottky rectifier, connected from the input battery to PVSU, is required for lowvoltage startup, or if PVSD is connected to VIN instead of PVSU.
Note 4: The step-up regulator is in startup mode until this voltage is reached. Do not apply full load current during startup. A powerOK output can be used with an external PFET to gate the load until the step-up is in regulation. See the Applications
Information section.

(VPVSU = VPV = VPVSD = VINDL2 = 3.6V, TA = -40°C to +85°C, unless otherwise noted.) (Note 8)
Note 5: The step-up current limit in startup refers to the LXSU switch current limit, not an output current limit.
Note 6: The idle mode current threshold is the transition point between fixed-frequency PWM operation and idle mode operation
(where switching rate varies with load). The specification is given in terms of inductor current. In terms of output current, the
idle mode transition varies with input-output voltage ratio and inductor value. For the step-up, the transition output current is
approximately 1/3 the inductor current when stepping from 2V to 3.3V. For the step-down, the transition current in terms of
output current is approximately 3/4 the inductor current when stepping down from 3.3V to 1.8V.
Note 7: Operation in dropout (100% duty cycle) can only be maintained for 100,000 OSC cycles before the output is considered
faulted, triggering global shutdown.
Note 8: Specifications to -40°C are guaranteed by design, not production tested.

FUNCTION
Detailed Description
The MAX1584/MAX1585 are complete power-conversion ICs for slim digital still cameras. They can accept
input from a variety of sources, including single-cell Li+
batteries and 2-cell alkaline or NiMH batteries, as well
as systems designed to accept both battery types. The
MAX1584/MAX1585 include five DC-DC converter
channels to generate all required voltages (Figure 2
shows a functional diagram):
• Synchronous-rectified step-up DC-DC converter with
on-chip MOSFETs—Typically supplies 3.3V for main
system power or 5V to power other DC-DC converters for boost-buck designs.
• Synchronous-rectified step-down DC-DC converter
with on-chip MOSFETs—Typically supplies 1.8V for
the DSP core. Powering the step-down from the
step-up output provides efficient (up to 90%) boostbuck functionality that supplies a regulated output
when the battery voltage is above or below the output voltage. The step-down can also be powered
from the battery if there is sufficient headroom.
• AUX1 step-up controller—Typically used for 15V to
bias one or more of the LCD, CCD, and LED backlights.
12
• AUX2 step-up controller (MAX1584)—Typically supplies remaining bias voltages with either a multi-output flyback transformer or a boost converter with
charge-pump inverter. Alternately, can power white
LEDs for LCD backlighting.
• AUX2 inverter controller (MAX1585)—Typically supplies negative CCD bias when high current is needed for large pixel-count CCDs.
• AUX3 step-down controller—Typically steps 5V generated at PVSU down to 3.3V for system logic in
boost-buck designs.
Step-Up DC-DC Converter
The step-up DC-DC switching converter is typically used
to generate a 5V output voltage from a 1.5V to 4.5V battery input, but any voltage from VIN to 5V can be set. An
internal NFET switch and a PFET synchronous rectifier
allow conversion efficiencies as high as 95%. Under
moderate to heavy loading, the converter operates in a
low-noise PWM mode with constant frequency and modulated pulse width. Switching harmonics generated by
fixed-frequency operation are consistent and easily filtered. Efficiency is enhanced under light ( L / [(REQ / 2)2] = 10µH / 0.25 = 40µF
Choose COUT = 47µF:
C4 = (VIN / VRAMP)(1 / [2π x R14 x fC])
= (5 / 1.25)(1/ [2π x 30.1k x 50kHz) = 423pF
Choose C4 = 470pF.
Cancel one pole of the complex pole pair by placing
the R4 C4 zero at 0.75 f0. The complex pole pair is at
the following:
f0 = 1 / [2π(L x COUT)1/2]
= 1 / [2π(10µH x 47µF)1/2] = 7.345kHz
Choose R4 = 1 / (2π x C4 x 0.75 x f0)
= 1 / (2π x 470pF x 0.75 x 7.345kHz)
z
Choose R4 = 61.9kΩ (standard 1% value). Ensure that
R4 > 2 / gMEA = 14.8kΩ. If it is not greater, reselect
R14 and R15.
Cancel the second pole of the complex pole pair by
placing the R14 C20 zero at 1.25 x f0.
C20 = 1 / (2π x R14 x 1.25 x f0)
= 1 / (2π x 30.1k x 1.25 x 7.345kHz) = 576pF
Choose C20 = 560pF.
Roll off the gain below the switching frequency by placing a pole at fOSC / 2:
R22 = 1 / (2π x C20 [fOSC / 2])
= 1 / (2π x 560pF x 250kHz) = 1.137kΩ
Choose R22 = 1.2kΩ.
If the output filter capacitor has significant ESR, a zero
occurs at the following:
ZESR = 1 / (2π x COUT x RESR)
Use the R4 C22 pole to cancel the ESR zero:
C22 = COUT x RESR / R4
If C22 is calculated to be
