MAX38800
Integrated, Step-Down Switching Regulator With Selectable Applications Configurations
General Description
The MAX38800 is a fully integrated, highly efficient switching regulator for applications operating from 6.5V to 14V input supplies that require up to 9A maximum load. This single-chip regulator provides compact high-efficiency power delivery for precision outputs that demand fast transient response.
The device has different programmability options to enable a wide range of configurations. The programmable features include: internal/external reference voltage, output voltage set-point, switching frequency, overcurrent protection level (OCP), and soft-start timing. Discontinuous current mode (DCM) operation can be enabled using pinstrapping to improve light-load efficiency.
The MAX38800 includes multiple protection and measurement features. Positive and negative cycle-bycycle OCP, short-circuit protection and overtemperature protection (OTP) ensure robust design. Input un.
