ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS (continued)

= 3.6V, Figure 3, T
A
= -40°C to +85°C, unless otherwise noted. Typical values are at T
A
= +25°C.) (Note 2)
Note 2: Limits are 100% production tested at T
A
= +25°C. Limits over the operating temperature range are guaranteed through cor-
relation using statistical quality control (SQC) methods.
Note 3: The dropout voltage is defined as V
IN
- V
OUT
when V
OUT
is 100mV below the nominal value of V
OUT
.
Note 4: Dropout voltage (V
DO
) is a function of the p-channel switch resistance (R
P
) and the inductor resistance (R
L
).
The given values assume R
L
= 50mΩ for the REG1 inductor and 67mΩ for the REG2 inductor:

Note 5: The maximum output current is guaranteed by correlation to the p-channel current-limit threshold, p-channel on-resistance,
n-channel on-resistance, oscillator frequency, input voltage range, and output voltage range. The maximum output current
in the
Electrical Characteristics
table is the worst-case output current for the components shown in Figure 3 over then entire
specified range of input and output voltage. More output current may be available when alternate components and voltage
ranges are used. See the
Step-Down Converter Output Current
section for more information.
Note 6: Tested at 1.4V default output voltage for the MAX8660, MAX8660A, and MAX8661. Tested at 1.15V default output voltage
for the MAX8660B.
Note 7: All output voltages are possible in normal mode. In forced-PWM mode, the minimum output voltage is limited by 0.167 x
V
IN
. For example, with V
IN
= 5.688V, the minimum output is 0.95V.
