5.5 Step Up/Step Down (Buck/Boost) Designs
Figure 5.8 shows an implementation of a step up/step down design based on the MAX641
buck/boost converter.
The MAX641 is intended as a step-up regulating converter for fi xed output use. It lends
itself to the buck/boost design because it has complementary drive pins. The L
X
pin
is driven from an internal MOSFET and the Ext pin is intended to drive an external
MOSFET switch in higher ...
