Automotive Single 8A/12A Step-Down
Converter Family
MAX20499
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX20499 is a family of high-efficiency, synchronous
step-down converters that operate with a 3.0V to 5.5V in-
put voltage range and supply a 0.5V to 1.275V output volt-
age range. The wide input/output voltage range and the
ability to provide up to 12A peak output current make this
device family ideal for on-board point-of-load and post-
regulation applications. The MAX20499 achieves ±1.5%
output error over load, line, and temperature ranges.

The MAX20499 features a 2.2MHz fixed-frequency PWM
mode for better noise immunity and load-transient re-
sponse. The 2.2MHz frequency operation allows for the
use of all ceramic capacitors and minimizes external com-
ponents. The spread-spectrum frequency modulation op-
tion minimizes radiated electromagnetic emissions. Inte-
