Description
The MAX20404/MAX20405/MAX20406 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 range from 3V to 36V. Voltage quality can be monitored by observing the PGOOD signal. The MAX20404/MAX20405/MAX20406 can operate in dropout by running at 99% duty cycle making it ideal for automotive and industrial applications.
The MAX20404/MAX20405/MAX20406 offers programmable or fixed output voltages of 5V and 3.3V. Frequency is internally fixed at 2.1MHz (or 400KHz or 3MHz) which allows for small external components, reduced output ripple, and guarantees no AM interference. MAX20404/5/6 automatically enters skip mode at light loads with ultra-low quiescent current of 10µA at no load. This family of products (including MAX20408/10) offers a pin-to-pin compatible offering from 4A to 10A in a single-phase configuration, and up to 20A in a dual-phase configuration. This device has also been optimized for dual-phase operation with very high current sharing accuracy. The devices can be ordered with spread-spectrum frequency modulation designed to minimize EMI-radiated emissions due to the modulation frequency.
The MAX20404/MAX20405/MAX20406 is available in a small 3.5mm x 3.75mm 17-pin FC2QFN package and uses very few external components.
