The MAX25460 combines a 1.5A high-efficiency, automotive-grade, step-down converter, a USB 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 MAX25460 is optimized for 2.2MHz operation allowing optimization of efficiency, noise, and board space based on the application requirements. The DC-DC converter integrates a high-side MOSFET and uses a low forward-drop freewheeling Schottky diode for rectification. There is a small low-side n-channel switch to maintain fixed frequency under light loads. The IC includes an external SYNC input/output, and can be configured for spread-spectrum operation. The MAX25460 allows flexible configuration and advanced diagnostic options for both standalone and supervised applications. The device can be programmed using either external programming resistors and/or internal I2C registers through the I2C bus.

The MAX25460 is available in a small 4mm x 5mm 24-pin TQFN package and is designed to minimize required external components and layout area.

Product Details

This evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates the MAX25460 automotive USB Type-A controller with 1GHz BW USB 2.0 D+/D- protection switches. The MAX25460 features a high-current, high-efficiency, host-charger with portdetection circuitry adhering to the USB 2.0 and the USBIF BC1.2 battery charging specifications. The step-down DC-DC converter operates from up to 28V continuous and protects against load dump transients up to 40V. The converter switches at 2.2MHz and can deliver 1.5A continuously and 2.4A for up to 1.1ms. The MAX25460 integrates high-side current sensing and circuitry to automatically adjust the USB voltage to compensate for voltage drops in long automotive cables.

The EV kit is populated with a MAX25460ATGA/V+ product variant for 2.2MHz operation. The high-speed data switches of the MAX25460 generally do not require far-end eye tuning, so the EV kit is populated with 0Ω resistors in place of the LC turning circuits.

The EV kit allows evaluation of the following MAX25460 capabilities:

  • Adjustable buck converter precision current limit for better system performance.
  • Adjustable current limit debounce timer for overcurrent testing and system flexibility.
  • Adjustable gain settings for cable compensation for low-cost captive cables up to 474mΩ.
  • Electromagnetic interference (EMI) mitigation using spread spectrum switching.
  • Detailed interrupt and fault status providing multilayer protection and recovery to improve system decisions during faults.
