36V, 8A/10A Fully Integrated Buck Converter
with 10μA Quiescent Current and Dual-Phase
Capability
MAX42408/MAX42410
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX42408/MAX42410 are highly-integrated
synchronous buck converters with internal high-side and
low-side switches. The ICs deliver up to 8A/10A with
input voltage from 4.5V to 36V. The voltage quality can
be monitored by the PGOOD signal. The
MAX42408/MAX42410 can operate in the dropout mode
by running at very high duty cycle, which make them
ideal for industrial applications.
•
High-Power DC/DC Converter in Small Solution Size
• Operating V range of 4.5V to 36V
IN
• Synchronous DC-DC Converter with Integrated
FETs
• 8A/10A Maximum Output Current
• 400kHz and 1.5MHz Fixed Frequency Options
• Fixed Soft-Start Time
- 2.5ms for 400kHz
The MAX42408/MAX42410 offer programmable output-
voltage options. High switching frequency at 1.5MHz
and 400kHz options allow for small external components
and reduced output ripple. SYNC input programmability
enables three modes for optimized performance: forced
PWM mode, skip mode with ultra-low quiescent current,
and synchronization to an external clock.
- 3.5ms for 1.5MHz
• 36ns Minimum On-Time
• Programmable Output Voltage
- 0.8V to 10V for 400kHz
- 0.8V to 6V for 1.5MHz
• Symmetric and Balanced SUP and PGND Pinout
Placement for Better EMI Performance
• Thermally-Enhanced 3.5mm x 3.75mm, 17-Pin
FC2QFN Package
The MAX42408/MAX42410 also come with dual-phase
capability, which allows up to 20A designs. Two ICs can
be configured as a controller and target with dynamic
current sharing and 180º out-of-phase operation.
