The MAX20004E/MAX20006E/MAX20008E are small, synchronous buck converters with integrated high-side and low-side MOSFETs. The device family can deliver up to 8A with input voltages from 3V to 36V, while using only 15µA quiescent current at no load (except for MAX20006EAFOD/VY+ which has FPWM mode only). Voltage quality can be monitored by observing the active-low RESET signal. The devices can operate in dropout by running at 98% duty cycle, making them ideal for automotive applications.

The devices offer fixed output voltages of 5V, 3.9V, or 3.3V. Compensation is internal to the device, providing excellent transient response. Frequency can be 400kHz or 2.1MHz. The devices offer a forced fixed-frequency mode and skip mode with ultra-low quiescent current of 15µA. The device has a pin-selectable (SSEN) spread-spectrum enable to further assist systems designers with better EMC management.

The MAX20004E/MAX20006E/MAX20008E are available in a small, 3.5mm x 3.75mm, 17-pin FC2QFN package and use very few external components.

Product Detail

The MAX20006E/MAX20008E evaluation kits (EV kits) demonstrate the MAX20006E/MAX20008E high-voltage, current-mode, synchronous step-down converters with low operating current. The EV kits operate over a wide 3.5V-to-36V input range. The output is set for 5V in the default configuration, but can be adjusted between 1V and 5V with appropriate components. The MAX20006E/ MAX20008E current limit supports a nominal output current of 6A or 8A, respectively.

The EV kit switching frequency is set for 2.1MHz (MAX20006EEVKIT#) or 400kHz (MAX20008EEVKIT#) in the default configuration. The switching frequency is fixed internally and can be synchronized to an external signal within the specified range. The EV kits can be set for fixed-frequency (PWM mode) or pulse-skipping (SKIP mode) for light load efficiency through the provided onboard jumper.

Applications

  • ADAS
  • Distributed DC Power Systems
  • Navigation and Radio Head Units
  • Point-of-Load Applications in Automotive
