Low-Cost, Small, 4.5V to 28V Wide Operating
Range, DC-DC Synchronous Buck Controller
MAX15026
General Description
Features
● 4.5V to 28V or 5V ±10% Input Supply Range
The MAX15026 synchronous step-down controller oper-
ates from a 4.5V to 28V input voltage range and gener-
ates an adjustable output voltage from 85% of the input
voltage down to 0.6V while supporting loads up to 25A.
The device allows monotonic startup into a prebiased
bus without discharging the output and features adaptive
internal digital soft-start.
● 0.6V to (0.85 x VIN) Adjustable Output
● Adjustable 200kHz to 2MHz Switching Frequency
● Ability to Start into a Prebiased Load
● Lossless, Cycle-by-Cycle Valley Mode Current
Limit with Adjustable, Temperature-Compensated
Threshold
The MAX15026 offers the ability to adjust the switching
frequency from 200kHz to 2MHz with an external resis-
tor. The MAX15026’s adaptive synchronous rectification
eliminates the need for an external freewheeling Schottky
diode. The device also utilizes the external low-side
MOSFET’s on-resistance as a current-sense element,
eliminating the need for a current-sense resistor. This pro-
tects the DC-DC components from damage during output
overloaded conditions or output shortcircuit faults without
requiring a current-sense resistor. Hiccup-mode current
limit reduces power dissipation during short-circuit condi-
tions. The MAX15026 includes a power-good output and
an enable input with precise turn-on/turn-off threshold,
which can be used for input supply monitoring and for
power sequencing.
