9A, 4.5V to 16V, Integrated Step-Down Switching
Regulator with Selectable Applications Configurations
MAX16491
General Description
Benefits and Features
● High-Efficiency Solution with External Bias Supply
• Up to 96% Peak
The MAX16491 is a fully integrated, highly efficient,
step-down DC-DC switching regulator. The device oper-
ates from 4.5V to 16V input supplies, and the output can
be adjusted from 0.6V to 5.5V, delivering up to 9A of
load current. This single-chip regulator provides compact
high-efficiency power delivery for precision outputs that
demand fast transient response.
• Up to 95.5% Full Load
• Up to 94% Light-Load Efficiency at 1A with DCM
Enabled
● Wide Operating Range
• 4.5V to 16V Input Voltage Range
• 0.6V to 5.5V Output Voltage Range
• 9A (max) Load Current
The device has different programmability options 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 using
pin-strapping to improve light-load efficiency.
● Flexible Design Allows Early PCB Definition
• Footprint Compatible with VT2491 (15A), VT2492
(25A), and MAX16425 (25A)
• Programmable Switching Frequency up to 1MHz
• Programmable Soft-Start and STAT Delay Timings
• Programmable Reference Voltage with External
Input Option
The MAX16491 includes multiple protection and measure-
ment 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
damages 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 outputvoltage is in regulation. The
device has an analog output that can be configured to
report output current or junction temperature.
• Programmable Positive and Negative OCP Limit
• Supports Current Sourcing and Sinking
● 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
• 19-Bump WLCSP (2.2mm x 2.8mm) Footprint
• Operation Using Ceramic Input and Output
Capacitors
The device is available in a 19-bump (2.2mm x 2.8mm)
WLCSP package that provides low thermal resistance
and minimizes the printed circuit board (PCB) area.
