The MAX20461 combines a 3A high-efficiency, automotive-grade, step-down converter, a USB Type-C/BC1.2 host charger emulator, and high-bandwidth USB protection switches for automotive USB 2.0 host applications. The device also includes a USB load current-sense amplifier and a configurable feedback-adjustment circuit that provides automatic USB voltage compensation for voltage drops in captive cables often found in automotive applications. The device limits the USB load current using both a fixed internal peak-current threshold and a user-configurable external current-sense USB load threshold.
The MAX20461 is optimized for high-frequency operation and includes programmable frequency selection from 310kHz to 2.2MHz, allowing optimization of efficiency, noise, and board space based on the application requirements. The fully synchronous DC-DC converter integrates high-side and low-side MOSFETs with an external SYNC input/output, and can be configured for spread-spectrum operation.
The MAX20461 allows flexible configuration and advanced diagnostic options for both stand-alone and supervised applications. The device can be programmed using either external programming resistors and/or internal I²C registers through the I²C bus.
The MAX20461 is available in a small, 5mm x 5mm 32-pin TQFN package. It is designed to minimize required external components and layout area.
Applications
- Automotive Connectivity/Telematics
- Automotive Radio and Navigation
- USB Port for Host and Hub Applications
