MAX77540
16V /6A, Dual-Phase High-Efficiency
IN
Buck Converter
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX77540 is a high-efficiency step-down converter
with two 3A switching phases. It uses an adaptive COT
(constant on-time) current-mode control architecture and
the two 3A switching phases can be configured as either
one (2Φ, 6A) or two (1Φ, 3A each) outputs. Its wide input
voltage range enables a direct conversion for sub-1V out-
● 4V to 16V Input Voltage Range
● 0.5V to 5.2V Output Voltage Range
● Resistor Configurable Default V
● Two 3A Bucks (1Φ) or One 6A Buck (2Φ)

● ±0.5% V Accuracy (Default V at 25°C)

rails. The output voltages are preset with resistors and

are further adjustable through an I C-compatible interface.
With 94% peak efficiency, low quiescent current, and com-
pact solution size, the MAX77540 is ideal for battery pow-
ered, space-constraint equipment.
Programmable switching frequency, frequency tracking,
and spread-spectrum allow easier system optimization for
noise-sensitive applications. Dedicated EN, POK, and FP-
WMB pins provide options for direct hardware control,
while more programmable options, such as soft-start/stop
and ramp-up/down slew-rates, are available through I C.
An array of built-in protections insures safe operation un-
der abnormal operating conditions.
