Description
The MAX15112 utilizes a current-mode control architecture with a high-gain transconductance error amplifier, which allows a simple compensation scheme and enables a cycle-by-cycle current limit with fast response to line and load transients. A factory-trimmed switching frequency of 1MHz (PWM operation) allows for a compact, all-ceramic capacitor design.
Integrated switches with low on-resistance ensure high efficiency at heavy loads while minimizing critical inductances. The MAX15112’s simple layout and footprint assure first-pass success in new designs.
Other features of the MAX15112 include a capacitor-programmable soft-start to reduce inrush current, safe startup into a prebiased output, an enable input, and a power-good output for power sequencing.
The regulator is available in a 24-bump (4 x 6), 2.1mm x 3.05mm WLP package, and is fully specified over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range.
