Description
General part information
MAX8546 Series
The MAX8545/MAX8546/MAX8548 are voltage-mode pulse-width-modulated (PWM), step-down DC-DC controllers ideal for a variety of cost-sensitive applications. They drive low-cost n-channel MOSFETs for both the high-side switch and synchronous rectifier, and require no external current-sense resistor. These devices can supply output voltages as low as 0.8V.The MAX8545/MAX8546/MAX8548 have a wide 2.7V to 28V input range, and do not need any additional bias voltage. The output voltage can be precisely regulated from 0.8V to 0.83 x VIN. These devices can provide efficiency up to 95%. Lossless short-circuit and current-limit protection is provided by monitoring the RDS(ON)of the low-side MOSFET. The MAX8545 and MAX8548 have a current-limit threshold of 320mV, while the MAX8546 has a current-limit threshold of 165mV. All devices feature foldback-current capability to minimize power dissipation under short-circuit condition. Pulling the COMP/EN pin low with an open-collector or low-capacitance, open-drain device can shut down all devices.The MAX8545/MAX8546 operate at 300kHz and the MAX8548 operates at 100kHz. The MAX8545/MAX8546/MAX8548 are compatible with low-cost aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Input undervoltage lockout prevents proper operation under power-sag operations to prevent external MOSFETs from overheating. Internal soft-start is included to reduce inrush current. These devices are offered in space-saving 10-pin µMAX® packages.ApplicationsCable Modems and RoutersDesktops and DesknotesGraphic Card and Video SuppliesNetworking Power SuppliesNotebook Docking Station SuppliesPCI Express® Power SuppliesSet-Top BoxesTelecom Power Supplies
