0.6V to 5.5V Output, Parallelable,
Average-Current-Mode DC-DC Controllers
General Description
The MAX5060/MAX5061 pulse-width modulation (PWM)
DC-DC controllers provide high-output-current capability
in a compact package with a minimum number of exter-
nal components. These devices utilize an average-cur-
rent-mode control that enables optimal use of low
R
DS(ON)
MOSFETs, eliminating the need for external
heatsinks even when delivering high output currents.
Differential sensing (MAX5060) enables accurate control
of the output voltage, while adaptive voltage positioning
provides optimum transient response. An internal regula-
tor enables operation with 4.75V to 5.5V or 7V to 28V
input voltage ranges. The high switching frequency, up
to 1.5MHz, allows the use of low-output inductor values
and input capacitor values. This accommodates the use
of PC-board-embedded planar magnetics.
The MAX5060 features a clock output with 180° phase
delay to control a second out-of-phase converter for
lower capacitor ripple currents. The MAX5060 also limits
the reverse current if the bus voltage becomes higher
than the regulated output voltage. The MAX5060 is
specifically designed to limit current sinking when multi-
ple power-supply modules are paralleled. The
MAX5060/MAX5061 offer an adjustable 0.6V to 5.5V out-
put voltage. The MAX5060 offers an overvoltage protec-
tion, power-good signal, and an output enable function.
The MAX5060/MAX5061 operate over the automotive
temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). The MAX5060 is
available in a 28-pin thin QFN package while the
MAX5061 is available in a 16-pin TSSOP package.
