MAX15158Z
High-Voltage Multiphase Boost Controller
General Description
Benefits and Features
● Wide Operating Range
MAX15158Z is a high-voltage multiphase boost controller
designed to support up to two MOSFET drivers and four
external MOSFETs in single-phase or dual-phase boost/
inverting-buck-boost configurations. Two devices can be
stacked up for quad-phase operation. The output voltage
of MAX15158Z can be dynamically set through the 1V to
2.2V reference input (REFIN) for modular design support.
• 8V to 76V Input Voltage Range for Booost
Configuration and -8V to -76V Input Voltage Range
for Inverting-Buck-Boost Configuration
• 3.3V to 60V Output Voltage Range on the Top of
Input Voltage
• 120kHz to 1MHz Switching Frequency Range
• -40°C to +125°C Temperature Range
• Single/Dual/Quad-Phase Operation
• Active Phase Current Balance Control
The switching frequency is controlled either through
an external resistor setting the internal oscillator or by
synchronizing the regulator to an external clock. The
device is designed to support 120kHz to 1MHz switching
frequencies. The controller has a dedicated enable/input
undervoltage-lockout (EN/UVLO) pin to configure for flex-
ible power sequencing.
● Integration Reduces Design Footprint
• Internal LDO for Bias Supply Generation
• Multiphase Multiple Controller Synchronization and
Interleave
• Output Voltage Sense Level Shifter
MAX15158Z has a dedicated RAMP pin to adjust inter-
nal slope compensation. The device features adjustable
overcurrent protection. The device incorporates current
sense amplifiers to accurately measure the current of
each phase across external sense resistors to implement
accurate phase current sharing. The controller is also pro-
tected against output overvoltage, input undervoltage and
thermal shutdown.
● Robust Fault Protection Improves Quality and
Reliability
• Adjustable Input Undervoltage Lockout
• Adjustable Cycle-by-Cycle Peak Current Limit and
Fast Overcurrent Protection
• Selectable Feedback Overvoltage Protection
• Thermal Shutdown
● Flexible and Simple System Design
• Adjustable Slope Compensation
• Low-Side MOSFET Gate Monitoring for Accurate
Current Sensing
The device is available in 5mm x 5mm, 32-pin TQFN
package and supports -40°C to 125°C junction tempera-
ture range.
• Discontinuous-Conduction-Mode Operation is
Supported when Using a Diode in Place of the
High-Side MOSFET
