GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MAX15118 utilizes a current-mode control archi tecture with a high-gain transconductance error ampli fier, which allows a simple compensation scheme and enables a cycle-by-cycle current limit with fast response to line and load transients. A factory-trimmed switching frequency of 1MHz (PWM operation) allows for a compact, all-ceramic capacitor design. Integrated switches with low on-resistance ensure high efficiency at heavy loads while min imizing critical inductances. The MAX15118’s simple layout and footprint assure first-pass success in new designs. Other features of the MAX15118 include a capacitorprogrammable soft-start to reduce inrush current, safe startup into a prebiased output, an enable input, and a power-good output for power sequencing. The regulator is available in a 28-bump (4 x 7), 2.10mm x 3.56mm WLP package, and is fully specified over the -40NC to +85NC extended temperature range. FEATURES
