of these circuits without first recalculating component
values (particularly inductance value at maximum bat-
tery voltage). Adding a Schottky rectifier across each
synchronous rectifier improves the efficiency of these
circuits by approximately 1%, but this rectifier is other-
wise not needed because the MOSFETs required for
these circuits typically incorporate a high-speed silicon
diode from drain to source. Use a Schottky rectifier
rated at a DC current equal to at least one-third of the
load current.

The b a s ic MAX1631/MAX1634 d ua l-outp ut 3.3V/5V
buck converter (Figure 1) is easily adapted to meet a
wide range of applications with inputs up to 28V by
substituting components from Table 1. These circuits
represent a good set of tradeoffs between cost, size,
a nd e ffic ie nc y, while s ta ying within the wors t-c a s e
specification limits for stress-related parameters, such
as capacitor ripple current. Don’t change the frequency
