The MAX42405/MAX42406 ICs are tiny synchronous buck converters with integrated high-side and low-side switches. The ICs are designed to deliver up to 6A with wide input voltages ranging from 4.5V to 36V. Voltage quality can be monitored by observing the PGOOD signal. The ICs can operate in dropout by running at a very high duty cycle, making it ideal for industrial applications.

The MAX42405/MAX42406 ICs offer programmable output voltage. Frequency is internally fixed at 400kHz and 1.5MHz, which allows for small external components and reduced output ripple. The ICs automatically enter skip mode at light loads with ultra-low quiescent current of 20μA at no load. This family of products (including the MAX42408/MAX42410) offers a pin-to-pin compatible offering from 5A to 10A in a single-phase configuration, and up to 20A in a dual-phase configuration. These devices are also optimized for dual-phase operation with very high current-sharing accuracy.

The MAX42405/MAX42406 ICs are available in a small 3.5mm x 3.75mm, 17-pin flip-chip quad flat no lead (FC2QFN) package and use very few external components.

Product Details

The MAX42406 evaluation kit (EV kit) provides a proven design to evaluate the MAX42406 1.5MHz synchronous buck converter with 10μA quiescent current. The standard EV kit Printed Circuit Board (PCB) comes with a MAX42406AFOB+ (1.5MHz, adjustable output) installed, as well as various test points and jumpers for evaluation. The EV kit output voltage is fixed and easily configured with minimum component changes. The default EV kit is designed to deliver up to 6A with an input voltage of 4.5V to 36V. Output voltage quality can be monitored by observing the PGOOD signal. The MAX42406 EV kit can also be used to evaluate all variants of the MAX42405 and MAX42406.
