MAX16962
4A, 2.2MHz, Synchronous Step-Down
DC-DC Converter
General Description
The MAX16962 is a high-efficiency, synchronous step-
down converter that operates with a 2.7V to 5.5V input
voltage range and provides a 0.8V to 3.6V output voltage
range. The wide input/output voltage range and the abil-
ity to provide up to 4A to load current make this device
ideal for on-board point-of-load and post-regulation
applications. The MAX16962 achieves -3.7%/+2.6% out-
put error over load, line, and temperature ranges.
The MAX16962 features a 2.2MHz fixed-frequency PWM
mode for better noise immunity and load transient
response, and a pulse frequency modulation mode
(SKIP) for increased efficiency during light-load opera-
tion. The 2.2MHz frequency operation allows for the use
of all-ceramic capacitors and minimizes external compo-
nents. The optional spread-spectrum frequency modula-
tion minimizes radiated electromagnetic emissions.
Integrated low R
DSON
switches improve efficiency at
heavy loads and make the layout a much simpler task
with respect to discrete solutions.
The MAX16962 is offered with factory-preset output
voltages or with an adjustable output voltage. (See the
Selector Guide
for options). Factory preset output volt-
age versions allow customers to achieve -3.7%/+2.6%
output voltage accuracy without using external resistors,
while the adjustable output voltage version provides the
flexibility to set the output voltage to any desired value
between 0.8V to 3.6V using an external resistive divider.
Additional features include 8ms soft-start, 16ms power-
good output delay, overcurrent, and overtemperature
protections.
The MAX16962 is available in thermally enhanced
16-pin TSSOP-EP and 4mm x 4mm, 16-pin
TQFN-EP packages, and is specified for operation over
the -40NC to +125NC automotive temperature range.

All limits are 100% production tested at +25°C. Limits over temperature are guaranteed by design.
Calculated value based on an assumed inductor current ripple of 30%.
For SYNC frequency outside (1.7, 2.4) MHz, contact factory.
LX_ has internal clamp diodes to PGND_ and IN_. Applications that forward bias these diodes should take care not to
exceed the IC’s package power dissipation limits.
