General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX25206/MAX25207/MAX25208 are automotive
● Meets Stringent Automotive OEM Module Power
Consumption and Performance Specifications
• 7µA Quiescent Current in Skip Mode
• Fixed 5.0V/3.3V or Adjustable 0.7V to 20V Output
• ±1.5% Output-Voltage Accuracy for 5V Fixed
Setting
2.2MHz synchronous step-down controllers with 7μA I .
Q
These devices operate with an input voltage supply from
3.5V to 60V (MAX25206/MAX25207) and 70V
(MAX25208). They can operate in drop-out condition by
running at 99% (typ) duty cycle. These controllers are in-
tended for applications with mid- to high-power require-
ments that operate at a wide input voltage range such
as during automotive cold-crank or engine stop-start con-
ditions. The MAX25207 has an optional bypass mode,
which allows 100% high-side switch on until step-down
function is needed during automotive transients.
● Enables Crank-Ready Designs
• Wide Input Supply Range from 3.5V to 60V/70V
● EMI Reduction Features Reduce Interference with
Sensitive Radio Bands without Sacrificing Wide Input
Voltage Range
• 50ns (typ) Minimum On-Time Allows Skip-Free
Operation for 3.3V Output from Car Battery at
2.2MHz
The MAX25206/MAX25207/MAX25208 step-down con-
trollers operate at a frequency up to 2.2MHz to allow
small external components, reduced output ripple, and to
eliminate AM band interference. The switching frequency
is resistor adjustable (220kHz to 2200kHz). SYNC input
programmability enables three frequency modes for opti-
mized performance: forced fixed-frequency operation (FP-
WM), skip mode with ultra-low quiescent current, and syn-
chronization to an external clock. The IC also provides
SYNCOUT output to enable two controllers to operate
in parallel. The MAX25206/MAX25207/MAX25208 have a
pin-selectable spread-spectrum option for frequency mod-
ulation to minimize EMI.
• Spread-Spectrum Option
• Frequency-Synchronization Input
• Resistor-Programmable Frequency Between
220kHz and 2.2MHz
● Integration and Thermally Enhanced Packages Save
Board Space and Cost
• 2.2MHz Step-Down Controller
• 180 Degrees Out-of-Phase SYNCOUT Output for
Synchronization
• Current-Mode Controller with Forced-Continuous
and Skip Modes
• Thermally Enhanced 20-Pin Side-Wettable (SW)
4mm x 4mm TQFN-EP Package
