Automotive 2V to 36V, 6A Buck-Boost
Converters
MAX25239/MAX25240
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX25239/MAX25240 are small, synchronous, buck-
boost converters with integrated H-bridge switches. These
ICs provide a fixed-output regulation voltage and an ex-
ternally adjustable output voltage in the 3V to 20V range
with an input voltage above, below, or equal to the output
regulation voltage. The IC has typical 8.2A and 10A input
current limit options and can support continuous load cur-
rents up to 6A depending on the input-to-output voltage
ratio and operating frequency. It also has a wide input volt-
age range of 2V to 36V.
● Meets Stringent Automotive Quality and Reliability
Requirements
• 2V to 36V Operating Input Voltage Range Allows
Operation in Cold-Crank Conditions
• Tolerates Input Transients up to 42V
• EN Pin Compatible up to 42V
• 8.2A/10A Typical Input Current Limit
• Fixed and Adjustable Output Voltage Options
• -40°C to +125°C Grade 1 Automotive Temperature
Range
The MAX25239/MAX25240 have three switching frequen-
cy options: 2.1MHz, 400kHz, and 200kHz. The 2.1MHz
high switching frequency allows small external compo-
nents and reduced output ripple, and guarantees no AM
band interference, while the 400kHz or 200kHz switching
frequency offers better efficiency and relieves the power
consumption concern. The SYNC input allows three oper-
ation modes: skip mode with ultra-low quiescent current,
forced fixed-frequency PWM operation, and synchroniza-
tion to an external clock. The IC also includes spread-
spectrum frequency modulation to minimize EMI interfer-
ence.
