MAX20403AFLA/VY+

The MAX20402/MAX20403 ICs are tiny, low-EMI emission, synchronous Silent Switcher buck converters with integrated high-side and low-side switches. The MAX20402/MAX20403 deliver up to 2.5A/3.5A over a wide 3V to 36V input voltage range. Voltage quality can be monitored by observing the PGOOD signal. These ICs can operate in dropout by running at 99% duty cycle, making them ideal for automotive and industrial applications. The MAX20402/MAX20403 offer externally programmable or internally fixed output voltages of 5V and 3.3V. Fixed internal frequency options of 3MHz/2.1MHz/400kHz are available, which allow for small external components and reduced output ripple, and also guarantee no AM interference. When SYNC is low, the MAX20402/MAX20403 automatically enter skip mode at light loads with an ultralow quiescent current of 10μA at no load. A pinselectable, forced-PWM mode is also available, which helps improve EMI performance. The devices have a spread-spectrum frequency modulation option designed to minimize EMI-radiated emissions due to the modulation frequency. This device features the MAXQ power architecture, which provides precision transient performance and phase margin. This allows obtaining the maximum power, performance, and precision while minimizing system cost for any specific application. The MAX20402/MAX20403 are available in a small, 3mm x 3mm FC2QFN package and use very few external components.
