25A, 4.5V to 16V, Integrated Step-Down Switching
Regulator with Selectable Applications Configurations
MAX16425/
MAX16425A
General Description
Benefits and Features
● High-Efficiency Solution with External Bias Supply
The MAX16425/MAX16425A are fully-integrated, highly
efficient step-down DC-DC switching regulators. These
devices operate from 4.5V to 16V input supplies, and the
output can be adjusted from 0.6V to 3.3V, delivering up to
25A of load current. These single-chip regulators provide
a compact high-efficiency, power-delivery solution for preci-
sion outputs that demand fast transient response.
• Up to 97% Peak
• Up to 87% Full-Load
• Up to 96% Light-Load Efficiency at 1A with DCM
Enabled
● Wide Operating Range
• 4.5V to 16V Input Voltage Range
• 0.6V to 3.3V Output Voltage Range
• 25A (max) Load Current
The two devices have different programmability options
(see Table 3a and 3b for details) to enable a wide range
of configurations. The programmable features include:
internal/external reference voltage, output voltage
set-point, switching frequency, overcurrent protection level
(OCP), and soft-start timing. Discontinuous current mode
(DCM) operation can be enabled through pin-strapping to
improve light-load efficiency.
● Flexible Design Allows Early PCB Definition
• Footprint Compatible with MAX16491 (9A),
VT2491 (15A), and VT2492 (25A)
• Programmable Switching Frequency up to 1MHz
• Programmable Soft-Start and STAT Delay Timings
• Programmable Reference Voltage with External
Input Option
The MAX16425/MAX16425A include multiple protection
and measurement features. Positive and negative cycle-
by-cycle OCP, short-circuit protection, and overtemperature
protection (OTP) ensure robust design. Input undervoltage
and overvoltage lockout shut down the regulator to prevent
damage when the input voltage is out of specification.
Regulation is halted in case of an output overvoltage
(OVP) event. A status pin indicates that the output voltage
is within range and the output voltage is in regulation.
The device has an analog output that can be configured
to report output current or junction temperature with ±5%
and ±8°C accuracy, respectively.
• Programmable Positive and Negative OCP Limit
● Advanced Architecture, Protection, and Reporting
Guarantees Reliable Designs
• Analog Current or Temperature Reporting
• Differential Remote Sense with Open-Circuit
Detection
• Fast Transient Response with Quick-PWM™
Architecture
● Saves Board Space
• Integrated Boost Switch
• 27-Bump WLCSP (2.2mm x 3.8mm) Footprint
• Operation Using Ceramic Input and Output Capacitors
The devices are available in a 27-bump (2.2mm x 3.8mm)
WLCSP package that provides low thermal resistance
and minimizes the PCB area.
