Dual 36V Input Voltage, 8A Synchronous
MAX25254/MAX25255
Buck Converters with Multiphase Capability
and ASIL B Safety Level
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX25254/MAX25255 are small, synchronous dual
buck converters with integrated high-side and low-side
Dual Buck Converter
•
•
•
Wide Input Range from 3.0V to 36V (42V, max)
Low Shutdown Supply Current (6.5µA, max)
Low Operating Quiescent Current with One
Channel ON (12µA, typ)
switches. The ICs are designed to deliver up to 8A per
channel with input voltages from 3V to 36V while using
only 12μA quiescent current at no load. Voltage quality
can be monitored by observing the PGOOD signals. The
MAX25254/MAX25255 can regulate the output voltage
in the dropout region by running at 99% of the duty cycle,
making them ideal for automotive and industrial
applications.

•
Programmable V
from 0.8V to 14V
OUT
Up to 8A per Channel
180° Out-of-Phase Operation between Two
Converters
•
24ns (typ) Minimum On-Time
The MAX25254/MAX25255 offer two fixed output
voltages of 5V and 3.3V. Four fixed frequency options
allow for small external components and reduced output
ripple, and also guarantee no AM interference. The
MAX25254/MAX25255 can enter skip mode at light
loads with ultra-low quiescent current of 12μA at no load.
The MAX25254/MAX25255 can be ordered with spread
spectrum enabled for optimum EMI performance.
Dual/Quad-Phase Operation
•
Ability to Operate Two ICs in Parallel for Quad-Phase
Operation
•
•
±10% Current Sharing Accuracy
Supports up to 16A in Dual-Phase and 32A in Quad-
Phase
Two buck converters within the MAX25254D and
MAX25255D can be configured for dual-phase operation
with up to 16A output load capability. Furthermore, the
MAX25254D/MAX25255D and the MAX25254Q/
MAX25255Q can be used in parallel to provide quad-
phase operation that supports up to 32A (max) output
current.
