Maxim Integrated MAX8599
the MAX8599 features output overvoltage protection. These controllers also feature lossless high-side peak inductor current sensing, adjustable current limit, and hiccup-mode short-circuit protection. This wide frequency range combined with a wide-bandwidth error amplifier enables the loop compensation scheme to give the user ample flexibility to optimize for cost, size, and efficiency.GENERAL DESCRIPTION
