GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Unlike PID-based digital power regulators, the MAX15301 uses Maxim’s patented InTune™ automatically compensated, state-space control algorithm. The MAX15301 includes multiple features to optimize efficiency. An internal switch BabyBuck™ regulator generates the gate drive and the internal bias supplies for the controller with low power loss. An advanced, highefficiency MOSFET gate driver has adjustable nonoverlap timing and load-variable gate-drive voltage to minimize switching losses over the full range of voltage, current, and temperature. The MAX15301 was designed for end-customer’s design environment. An on-board PMBus™-compliant serial bus interface enables communication with a supervisory controller for monitoring and fault management. A full suite of power management features eliminates the need for complicated and expensive sequencing and monitoring ICs. Basic DC-DC conversion operation can be set up via pin strapping and does not require user configuration firmware.
