3.0V to 5.5V Input, 6V to 18V Output,
Synchronous Boost Converter
MAX20474
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX20474 is a high-efficiency DC-DC converter that
boosts 3.0V to 5.5V input supply from 6V to 18V at up to
1A load. The boost converter achieves ±1.5% output error
over load, line, and temperature range.
● Synchronous Boost Converter for Small Solution Size
• 4.0A Peak Input Current
• Resistor-Adjustable Output Voltage from 6V to 18V
• 6V to 18V Fixed Output Selection in 0.25V Steps
• 3.0V to 5.5V Operating Supply Voltage
• 2.2MHz Operation
• RESET Output
• Spread Spectrum
The device features a 2.2MHz fixed-frequency PWM
mode for better noise immunity and load-transient re-
sponse, as well as a pulse-frequency modulation mode
(skip) for increased efficiency during light-load operation.
The 2.2MHz frequency operation allows for the use of all
ceramic capacitors and minimizes external components.
The programmable spread-spectrum frequency modula-
tion minimizes radiated electromagnetic emissions. Inte-
