Low-Cost, Current-Mode PWM Buck
Controller with Foldback Current Limit
General Description
The MAX1954A synchronous current-mode, pulse-
width modulation (PWM) buck controller is pin compati-
ble with the popular MAX1954 and is suitable for
applications where cost and size are critical.
The MAX1954A operates from an input voltage range of
3.0V to 13.2V, independent of the IC supply. The output
voltage is adjustable down to 0.8V. The IC operates at
a fixed 300kHz switching frequency and provides up to
25A of output current with efficiency up to 95%. This
controller has excellent transient response resulting in
smaller output capacitance.
The MAX1954A features foldback current limiting that
greatly reduces input current and component power
dissipation during output overload or short-circuit
conditions.
The compensation and shutdown control (COMP) input,
in addition to providing compensation to the error
amplifier, can be pulled low to shut down the converter.
An input undervoltage lockout is provided to ensure
proper operation during power sags to prevent the
external power MOSFETs from overheating. Internal
digital soft-start is included to reduce inrush current
and save an external capacitor.
The MAX1954A is available in a tiny 10-pin µMAX
®
package to minimize PC board space.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
