Dual-Phase, Parallelable, Average-Current-Mode Controllers
General Description
The MAX5038A/MAX5041A dual-phase, PWM controllers provide high-output-current capability in a compact package with a minimum number of external components. The MAX5038A/MAX5041A utilize a dual-phase, average-current-mode control that enables optimal use of low RDS(ON) MOSFETs, eliminating the need for external heatsinks even when delivering high output currents. Differential sensing enables accurate control of the output voltage, while adaptive voltage positioning provides optimum transient response. An internal regulator enables operation with input voltage ranges of +4.75V to +5.5V or +8V to +28V.
