The MAX20860A is a fully integrated, highly efficient, dual-phase step-down DC-DC switching regulator with PMBus and AVSBus interfaces. The device operates from 5V to 16V input supplies, and the output can be adjusted from 0.4V to 5.8V, delivering up to 60A of load current. The MAX20860A can work with up to two external power stages delivering up to 120A load current. When the device is configured to dual-phase operation, the minimum input voltage range can be configured to 2.7V using PMBus.
The switching frequency of the device can be configured from 308kHz to 2MHz, to provide the capability of optimizing the design in terms of size and performance.
The MAX20860A utilizes fixed frequency, current-mode control with internal compensation. The IC features selectable advanced modulation scheme (AMS) to provide improved performance during fast load transients. Operation settings and configurable features can be selected by connecting a pin-strap resistor from PGM_ pin to ground or using PMBus commands.
The MAX20860A has internal 1.8V LDO outputs to power the gate drivers (VCC1 and VCC2) and internal circuitry (AVDD and DVDD). The device also has an optional LDO input pin (LDOIN), allowing connection from a 2.5V to 5.5V bias input supply for optimized efficiency.
The IC has multiple protections including positive and negative overcurrent protection, output overvoltage protection, and overtemperature protection to ensure robust design.
The device is available in 4.25mm x 10mm FC2QFN package. It supports -40°C to +125°C junction temperature operation.
