GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Total output-voltage accuracy is within ±1% over load, line, and temperature. The high operating frequency allows for small-size external components. The low-resistance on-chip nMOS switches ensure high efficiency at heavy loads while minimizing critical parasitic inductances, making the layout a much simpler task with respect to discrete solutions. Following a simple layout and footprint ensures first-pass success in new designs. The MAX15040 incorporates a high-bandwidth (> 15MHz) voltage-error amplifier. The voltage-mode control architecture and the voltage-error amplifier permit a Type III compensation scheme to achieve maximum loop bandwidth, up to 200kHz. High loop bandwidth provides fast transient response, resulting in less required output capacitance and allowing for allceramic capacitor designs. The MAX15040 features an output overload hiccup protection and peak current limit on both high-side (sourcing current) and low-side (sinking and sourcing current)...
