300mA, depending on the external components chosen.
Two linear regulators supplied by the 15V VDD line cre-

These supplies (VPPA, VPPB) can be programmed to be
grounded or high impedance, or to deliver 5V or 12V at
up to 60mA.

An internal 5V, 25mA supply (VL) and a 3.3V, 5mA ref-

regulation.
_______________De t a ile d De s c rip t io n
The MAX782 converts a 5.5V to 30V input to five outputs
(Figure 1). It produces two high-power, switch-mode,
pulse-width modulated (PWM) supplies, one at +5V and
the other at +3.3V. These two supplies operate at either
200kHz or 300kHz, allowing extremely small external
components to be used. Output current capability
depends on external components, and can exceed 5A
Three precision comparators are included. Their out-
put stages permit them to be used as level translators
for driving high-side external power MOSFETs: For
example, to facilitate switching VCC lines to PCMCIA
slots.
