MAX15035ETL+

The MAX15035 pulse-width modulation (PWM) controller provides high efficiency, excellent transient response, and high DC-output accuracy. Combined with the internal low on-resistance MOSFETs, the MAX15035 provides a highly efficient and compact solution for small form factor applications that need a high-power density.Maxim's proprietary Quick-PWM™ quick-response, constant on-time PWM control scheme handles wide input/output voltage ratios (low-duty-cycle applications) with ease and provides 100ns instant-on response to load transients while maintaining a relatively constant switching frequency. The output voltage can be dynamically controlled using the dynamic REFIN, which supports input voltages between 0V to 2V. The REFIN adjustability combined with a resistive voltage-divider on the feedback input allows the MAX15035 to be configured for any output voltage between 0V to 0.9V_IN.The controller senses the current across the synchronous rectifier to achieve a low-cost and highly efficient valley current-limit protection. External current-limit control is provided to allow higher current-limit settings for applications with heatsinks and air flow, or for lower current applications that need lower current-limit settings to avoid overdesigning the application circuit. The adjustable current limit provides a high degree of flexibility, allowing thermally compensated protection or foldback current-limit protection using a voltage divider partially derived from the output.The MAX15035 includes a voltage-controlled soft-start and soft-shutdown to limit the input surge current, provide a monotonic power-up into a precharged output, and provide a predictable soft-start time. The controller also includes output fault protection—undervoltage and overvoltage protection—as well as thermal-fault protection.The MAX15035 is available in a small 40-pin, 6mm x 6mm, TQFN package.
