MAX16491 Overview
Key Specifications
Description
The MAX16491 is a fully integrated, highly efficient switching regulator for applications operating from 4.5V to 16V 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.
Key Features
- Discontinuous current mode (DCM) operation can be enabled using pin-strapping to improve light-load efficiency
- The MAX16491 includes multiple protection and measurement features
- Positive and negative cycle-by-cycle OCP, short-circuit protection and overtemperature protection (OTP) ensure robust design
- Input undervoltage and overvoltage lockout shut down the regulator to prevent damages when the input voltage is out of specification
- Regulation is halted in case of an output overvoltage (OVP) event
- A status pin indicates that the output voltage is within range and the outputvoltage is in regulation
- The device has an analog output that can be configured to report output current or junction temperature
- The device is available in a 19-bump (2.2mm x 2.8mm) WLCSP package that provides low
